ART AS CODE Bella C
Artists Statement My final resolved artwork is a reflection on natural elements of the world and the beauty of nature. After completing much research on artists like Rosella Namok, as well as formal and cultural contexts, this skateboard responds to the cultural context of my Italian background, as well as the formal context of the natural world. I The blue and white background relates to the Italian ocean which my family is from, and the flower is based off my great-nonna’s earring, which was passed down to me; these elements each connect to the natural world. Materials were acrylic paint on wood, this was simple to use and allowed to me easily convey the images in which was to be painted. Formal qualities such as colour and shape, both brighten the look and allow the audience to interpret what the images are. These elements depict the code of this artwork, my Italian heritage.

Experimental Work Green Monochrome Painting 2 Acrylic paint, canvas, impasto gel 45cm x 35cm The final of the three-part monochrome painting series is abstract. This allows the audience to recognise the shapes and notice the brush strokes which create movement in the artwork. The abstract nature of the artwork extenuate the formal quality of colour, represented through green – which further allows the viewers to indulge in the monochrome theme.
