Stencil Art Project

Ana Mendieta is truly an art innovator to modern art, and visual art. Considering I will be presenting about her, I had to choose an art master piece done by her, I selected a silhouette. Furthermore I selected this master piece because it displayed some of the symbols, and characteristics that really inspires my imagination to a challenge, to try to make sense to the art piece significance, some of the symbols that challenge my imagination include:  sand were water and earth meet, a woman’s body shape, a heart, a body laying on the ground, a body inside a heart, sand in general and the earth with creation from humans, a body berried in the ground, independence, solidarity, love, etc. At first I did not know, how I would go about making the stencil, and at the same time preventing the silhouette from falling apart. I had to make some adjustments, and add some characteristics, like rivers, and bridges in order to keep the authenticity of the silhouette while converting it into a stencil. Nevertheless after concentrating on my art work project and putting some cerebration on what I was doing, along with some love for art, it became simple, just like taking a step forward, I felt confident doing the art project. When I was done with my project I felt good about the outcome and I know that I did my best on it, and used a considerable amount of effort into the art piece. Here is the original and my stencil I hope I did not perpetrate Ana Mendietas’ silhouette in any way, and instead further recognize her art and creativity.
