Gregory, first off, your pictures look very intriguing. They
look different than what I usually see when looking at pictures from the Art Centre,
but your pictures just captivated me in some way the other pictures didn't
From what I've heard, your class did your pictures at our school, instead of
going to the Neilson Creative Arts Centre. Did drawing the pictures at our
school instead of the centre change anything? In my opinion, going to the
centre is better for you because you get to see all of the paintings instead of
only just a couple
For your first picture, I can see people on the top of the
drawing that are on “strike”. I have a feeling that this relates to the
teachers and their disagreement with the new law that the government has put
out for them. One of the people that is on strike is holding up a sign that
says “20%”, which might relate to the teacher’s not agreeing with their pay
cuts. In the top right, there is a person who appears to be holding a gas can,
saying “calm down, I got this!” I think this has something to do with the
bottom of the painting, which appears to be a giant pit of fire, with people
burning in it. In the middle of your drawing, there is a person in a car
shouting “YOLO!” The two green “blobs” at the edges of the painting. My first thought
was that these green blobs were money for the people on strike, but when I look
at it again, it appears that the green blobs are actually portals that the
person in the car is going through, hence why he’s shouting YOLO. On the car’s
wheels, the rims are the “peace sign” which indicate that the person in the car
is trying to end the fights and the strike. The yellow background makes
everything stand out, so that was a good choice. Overall, this drawing shows
that the world isn't perfect and that we need to strive to make it the best
that it can be. What did you think of when you were making this painting? What
inspired you to draw the strikes?
For your second picture, I can see people playing football
on a grass field. The football is mid-air, and it looks like they’re about to
go for the touch-down. In the middle of the picture (and surely the focus of
the picture), is a car with “wings”. It looks like it is being propelled into
the football goal, and it will beat the football. On the top left, there is the
scoreboard saying “Home: NK: 109 Away:
SF: 0”. This indicates that our school is completely dominating the enemy team,
which I’m glad to see. In the top right, there appears to be another “portal”
for the car to go through. This time, the car is a different colour, to perhaps
fit with the scenery more. Why did you change the colour of the car? Overall,
This picture represents striving for your goals, because if you stop, you’ll
just get run over and not be able to accomplish everything.
Please respond to my questions.
Sincerely,
Adrian
