My artwork is a mobile. There is a circle of wire at the top and hanging from it is fishing line holding a ball that is made to look like earth. The earth has blue and green blobs on it. There is a heart on the center of it that is red. It has 7 different blobs in the heart, each with a different initials. On the top of the earth there is some greenery and a flower. If you go up the line a bit you see a green plumbob. Above the plumbob are more strings of greenery and flowers. Around the wire at the very top are split leaves surrounding the whole thing. To create the artwork, I started with the earth. I used a bowl and plaster to mold two half circles. Then I plastered the circles together. I used modge podge and tissue paper to seal the ball and to add the earth idea. Then I used a piece of wire to fish the fishing line through the ball. I used a friendship bracelet type of knot and tied a bead at the bottom of the world so that the earth would look like it's floating. I cut out triangles of cardboard and paper taped them together to create the plumbob. I painted the plumbob green because the plumbob in Sims 4 is green and I wanted it to represent that. I used another bead and knot to make the plumbob float above the earth. I hot glued fake greenery and flowers to the fishing line and globe. I also hot glued some leaves to the top ring. I used hot glue to secure the knots I tied in the fishing string. This artwork was all about identity and what makes a person a person. I think that my artwork is very odd and confusing at first glance but once I explain it, it all makes sense. I tried to show some of my favorite things in the WORLD with this project. I used the earth idea because I wanted to show what makes up MY world. At the center of the earth I wanted to show the people who make up my world and so I wrote the initial letter of each of their names. The plumbob represents 1. my love of architecture and 2. my love of the game Sims 4. I have many plants in my room and I love succulents and greenery. So I incorporated that into my art as well. I obviously have many other things that make up me and my life but I just wanted to focus on my main favorites. My goals for this artwork were to effectively show my personality in a interesting but cool way. My over all thoughts on this artwork are that it was very different from my previous artworks and its very odd but I think that it all came together and it really points out the things Im fond of.
