In what ways does technology affect the lives of humans?
This investigation involves the different ways that technology influences human lives. Through my pieces, I tried to convey the positive and negative effects technology has, such as in a professional setting, for entertainment purposes, and the physical and mental hardships it offers.
My initial process for most of my pieces is to start with a light pencil sketch of the composition, then add in the color and shading. Using an alcohol marker medium, I work from light to darks to achieve the desired look for my pieces. For example, pieces #3, 4 and #9 demonstrate practicing the process of using alcohol markers, which is one of my strengths. #7 is an experiment in the use of Acrylic paint to try something different, but I want to experiment with using markers on top of the acrylic paint to revise and further improve the piece. #10 is a collage experiment to show the different ways we communicate that is specific to internet use. Most of my pieces stay with my original driving question, expanding into various uses in the Entertainment and Professional fields. However, a few pieces showcase different types of effects that pertain to different aspects of technology, such as the inquiry behind my 10th piece being "What kinds of communication are specific to the internet?".
