Art blog

 


My theme
Right so, my theme for this year is going to be the Prosecution and Erasure of the Jewish people. I've been wanting to do something based around Judaism and I've decided that this is the year I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna base it around various moments such as the Spanish Inquisition, the many time's Jewish people have been forced out of their homes, the pogroms, the holocaust, and more modern forms of jew-hatred. I think I'll also highlight the erasure of Jewish identity both during the holocaust and now. I might even do something on the continued exclusion of Jewish people in conversations that involve us. Such as what defines Jew-hatred/anti-semitism, talks of who White Supremacy effects, and how people are ignoring Jewish hate crimes even though they have been increasing a ridiculous amount. Also the normalization of Jewish hatred even in left-wing movements.

Board Ideas for this year

nice. 

I really like Tame Iti's artwork and Gelroy Conception's work (who is on Instagram) the most and probably use them as a base for my artboard this year. 

Other Art Stuff
We had to do some exercises and one of them was to draw your subject matter from one angle and then move and draw from a different perspective. I decided to draw this skull who I've named Stephen. 


You can also see my blind contour drawing of that weird jug in the art room that has an eraser shoved inside. 

Here's another drawing of Stephen where he looks a little weirder

He looks a little psyched out here but it's fine cause he wants to work in horror movies as a head. His biggest idol is Hand from the Addam Family.

Anyway that's really it for now, I don't know what else I need to write about.
