Artist Statement: My artwork consist of a armadillo with a son and grass in the background. The title of my artwork is “Armadillo in the field” The main element in my artwork is diagonal lines in order to show confusion towards what is going on. I also used a lot of triangles to represent organization in all of the confusion. The inspiration to my artwork is that one of my best friends lives in Louisiana and there’s a lot of armadillos over there and this piece really reminds me of him. That goes into all the emotions in this piece because it’s really hard to try and get in touch with him and it gets really confusing because both our internet connections are really bad. But when it does work everything is organized and at peace. My goals in my art is to express my feelings and to try and get better at expressing them. I learned in creating this artwork that lines by themselves can be a optical illusion and the final piece is not what I expected, I expected more black in the background, but I had limited resources. This piece will influence my future artwork by using more lines in future art pieces.
