Childhood Memory




This piece was supposed to be for the childhood memory project that we did about something that reminds about your childhood. In this picture we have a swingset, a kiddie ride, a kid holding a balloon, a pigeon in the sky, and a shovel, a paper airplane, and Thomas the train engine. These were all things I remember were around when I was a kid but maybe not for everyone or in the right places.

There isn't any pattern in this picture, and I don't think anything is actually being contrasted either, and it also appears nothing is emphasized. There is asymmetrical balance like almost every other project I've done, because nothing in this picture lines up with the other side. Unity doesn't exactly work in this piece, everything seems a little bit too scattered out and nothing makes good sense.

The piece means that I am really tired because this is pretty late at night and it's my nth cup of hot stuffs. I think the message in this picture is that to remember the old days is always something you should do once in awhile. It is a healthy thing for people to do (relive their childhoods), sometimes people never get to do that, if you have time, try it once in a while, it certainly isn't like you can relive it presently.

I thought that this picture was moderately successful, it got the message across about the childhood memories subject, but failed in other things. By that I mean  it looks pretty damn bland, and should have had other effects or things added to it to change stuff up. I would say it gets a moderate rating for art, but hell your opinion is more important than mine to be honest.
