artist statement - animals



Artist statement

The theme of my final project is animals I decided to use this for my theme because I wanted to do something which contained detail and variety otherwise I would have gone for portraits but there is more primary research for animals. I began to steer toward choosing animals when I watched a YouTube video of someone drawing a snake, it looked really lifelike and I wanted to attempt it and see if I could do it as well. over the past projects I believe I have been influenced most by artist wise is Lucien Freud especially his style of painting I think I have began to paint more like it, it is difficult to say whether any others have influenced me as there are so many but I would say that Lucien Freud is the main one. I intend to produce a final piece preferably a canvas and possibly in oil paint my project will be suitable for all ages though I have studied an artist that uses skulls in his work but I don’t think it will be unsuitable for children.
