Basquiat Piece

For this piece, I used a canvas and painted it as well as used oil pastel and crayons. It turned out ok. I did not really know what to do with this piece since it was imitating Jean-Michel Basquiat. I liked how it turned out. I think I could've changed a few of the colors. The elements of art that I used were texture and  color. The personal meaning to this is that I like doing the robot. The music symbols represent my passion for music. The tiger stripe is just kind of random.

Color Drawing Objective

I used brown paper rather than white to bring out the pinks from the oil pastel. I used blending and texture. I learned that brown paper actually works pretty well with oil pastels. I am pretty proud of how this turned out. I could've taken a little more time on the body of it.
