Spray Paint, Acrylic, & Mixed Media
This was one of the most fun projects I have worked on this semester. It gave me a chance to incorporate my personal interests into my art. My favorite band McFly has a song called "Star Girl" and one of their verses in the song is "Galaxy Defenders stay forever". I used that verse as the inspiration for my piece. I first spray painted the back ground with black spray paint for space. I used a sponge brush to create the galaxy using shades of white, blue, red, and yellow. One of the lead singers, Tom Fletcher, has the symbol of a lion in their band, so I also tried to incorporate that into my portrait. I cut out a stencil of a lion and spray painted it on the black background using metallic gold spray paint. To incorporate the lyrics of the song into my piece I used polymer glue to transfer it onto the empty space where my portrait would be. I chose to only paint from my eyes up and left my hair out. I used color in different parts of the piece to make each section pop and give depth. The texture of the galaxy using the sea sponge gives it a flowing rhythm.
