Soné Keith's Art Portfolio

My finished piece is called "Sadness Within the City". I painted using the techniques of Francoise Nielly and drew with inspirations from Thomas Fedro. I am satisfied with my ending and glad that it came out the way I expected it to be.

I started off just sketching my idea based off of Thomas Fedro, then I painted it with the base colors I wanted.

For this project I chose to work with two exceptional artists, Thomas Fedro (bottom) and Francoise Nielly (top). Their works are somewhat similar in that they are abstract and use eye-catching colors, but Fedro focuses more pop art and pairing it with abstract art. Nielly does more realistic work with oil paints and abstract. Lately I have been drawn to abstract art (which honestly isn't my forte), but when I stumbled across these two artists I immediately fell in love with abstract. I am going to try to accomplish doing a piece with pop art inspired by Fedro and color it based on the way Nielly uses his colors.

For my set of 3 postcards I created, I based them on different important changes in my life. On the front of each postcard I made an origami animal; they each represent phases in my life where my mother nicknamed me an animal based on certain actions I did. On the back, I drew and painted a picture based on the passions that arose during those phases in my life. The materials I used were a sharpie pen, water color, and origami paper.

My project proposal is that for the front of each postcard will be an origami animal that I choose. And on the back of the postcards will be the most important memory from that animal.
