Talking Color – Lingxi Yang










Throughout the process I learned new combinations of colors. For example, when there are many light colors, you can use a dark color to emphasize the whole artwork, and mark-making is a very pleasant process. You can express it with color according to your understanding of the object and your current mood. In the “color” theme, I used a lot of different materials and methods to paint. The materials are not just ordinary paintbrushes, I also used sponges and paper cups. One of the things I would most like to say is that I painted corals for reflection. At the bottom of the painting I used different colors to express what color the coral is in my impression. Next I drew a circle in the middle to express the shape of the coral seen from a distance. Finally, I found a photo of the coral closest to my impression and carefully drew the lines of the coral with a marker. In the “pattern” theme, I drew something about nature. Among them are my favorite flowers, designers and my cat. There is also an artwork and a photo about graffiti. Of these, the one I want to discuss the most is graffiti. In the process, I discovered that the topic of whether graffiti is art or not has always been controversial. I think it can be a kind of art, because art is inherently pluralistic. There is nothing to define the standards of art, art has no boundaries. And doodles are just different ways that different people want to express themselves. I think it would be interesting to add some elements of graffiti to future projects.
