This is Me (The Subject of an Artwork)

 The concept and idea of the artwork have to do with
how people are dealing with the current pandemic by using
gardening as a form of meditation. I also chose human
anatomy and nature as my subject (s) to make art that would
better represent the idea. Given my skills and the resources I
had, it became clear that I can draw best in human anatomy,
especially that I will use techniques like blending and
scribbling that will allow me to create the artwork
ingeniously.

Additionally, creating artwork is a kind of expression and must be accessible in doing

so. But, creating an “art” has things to be followed, such as using principles in arts. With this
creation of my work of art, I realize how important it is to correctly convey your message
through its visual presentation. So, I designed and made some sketches to artfully depict my
idea. I used the existing artwork to create my artwork in a different art form and added more
elements. I integrated the principles in space by using overlapping parts, the placements of the
details, and I also put in my mind how to draw the correct/appropriate sizes of each element
in my artwork. Also, I integrated some unconventional materials such as lip tints, thumbtacks,
and book pages into my artwork. Lastly, I made my artwork relevant to our current situation as
my principle of performance.

Eventually, the artwork I made is the portrayal of my being in a pandemic version. It

represents the person I have become over the recurring quarantine due to the virus we are
battling. The artwork I aimed for reflects someone who fell in love with nature and its elements.
This artwork represented me most through its intricate parts. For example, the closed eyes,
which means my lazy, introverted self, felt at peace for not
socializing with society and the world. While the opened eyes
represent my willingness to survive and still be part of the
community that brings positivity and awareness to everyone.
Also, think deeply about why I didn't use roses even though
they are my favorite ones. It's because they have visible thorns;
I don't want that. I don't want people to recognize how those
thorns inflicted my being. I wanted to show them myself but not
too much. In conclusion, this artwork is me gathering myself to
become who I want to be; someone stronger and braver.
