Mark Making Art Portafolio

My process

Mark making was my theme throughout this process. I explored this topic by using various materials and techniques to make different forms of expression. I approached drawing through various techniques and was able to make a great variety of artworks. Most of the artwork I did was to help me make art that wasn't perfect. This helped me because I’m very meticulous when it comes to my artwork and I always pay attention to the small details and get obsessed with making the drawings perfect. With these techniques I was able to make art without being obsessed with every detail. I started to value the mark making and the textures I could create. I tried to use the techniques in various ways that would also be different from traditional ways. I also tried to use mark making to create more interesting artworks by using strong lines or colors.
