The Turning Point
There is a point where the creator of the universe made one's life miserable without an explanation, however, there are so many routes one can consider to select a new unfamiliar beginning. Everyone has experienced distress in their life; it could come to the point where people think that they can not detect any solution for their problems, and torment them. As a result, people become depressed. In this drawing, The Turning Point presents that society has all encountered hardship before they depart this life, and unfortunately some of the close ones did not help as much as they thought they had imagined. The Turning Point gives us a message of how the individuals who have issues should try and approach a different environment so they can take a break from their situation.
My artwork is influenced by Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth, and Joseph Mallord William. I like the way they use primary colour with different shades of yellow, saturated red and tints of blue. Using these colours will express the motif in my drawing. The mark-making/cross-contour in my drawing gives more depth and space to my artwork. My focus point is the bench and the board. The board is an idea where one can lay down or walk to the path where the creator has already provided. On the other hand, the bench is where the individual sits down to reflect and to choose their new unfamiliar paths. The reason I draw the environment in Point Pleasure, Savannah is that when people want to take a break, they usually
want to go somewhere quiet and peaceful. The Turning Point is drawn in the morning because it represents the new beginning, and hope that it will be a better day than yesterday. This aspect is shown in time.
For my composition, the viewer's left side exhibits the board, and it is walking off the frame of the drawing, it also has a tree that is close to the board to express that there is not much space, time, and it signifies that it is a path that the creator made for the individuals. On the viewer's right side reveal a bench, where the individual can sit down and see the whole picture of many new adventures and parties to choose from. This is conveyed by drawing different houses in the distance, which reinforces that the individual can identify the house, but does not know what is happening in the house; unless they go inside.
Using the factor of concept, content, and composition in The Turning Point; conveys that moving to a new environment doesn't necessarily mean that it will cure your hardship, but if the individual keeps moving forward, they are more likely to find a place to call their home.
