Notan: “Lavender Evening”

 

This piece is called a  notan, and it resembles my love for the beach. My intent is to show that when I am at the beach during evening time, I feel as relaxed and calm as lavender. In this piece, the girl in the middle represents me in a calm state. The color purple always reminds me of soothing lavender, which is why I picked to paint myself purple. The stars in the sky are my favorite part in this piece–I love stars and find them to be one of the most soothing things in nature.  I want others to feel relaxed and at ease when they see this piece. Looking at it makes me feel calmer, and I hope that others can receive that same feeling when they view my notan.

Font Face: “Meghan”

This piece is inspired by my vision of a chic, ambitious, and independent woman named Meghan. My intent is to have viewers admire her class and posh charm, but at the same time, analyze her distinct features. In this piece, her “expensive earrings” symbolize the lavish things she spends her money on. Her sunglasses symbolize her coolness, but also her vulnerability. My favorite part of this process is the composition part because it was fun to find letters that would allow me to create Meghan’s features. I hope that others will enjoy Meghan’s appearance and be able to dig deeper into what her features say about her.
