WARP-Pedro Sena

This is the drawing I made for my commuting to school assignment. I tried to show each moment, and focus on the stress that traffic makes me feel, by the use of the color red, and the relaxed times by the use of blue, imitating how Google Maps uses color for traffic.

These are the artworks I created for the portrait/propaganda assignment. In this assignment, I wanted to show the contrast between the real self and the image a person tries to advertise to the world.  The first artwork depicts a young woman, with a preoccupied, insecure expression. I used a ballpoint pen on cardboard to draw her without makeup and paying attention to all the marks and wrinkles in order to capture the expression.  For the second piece, I photographed the model posing as she was taking a selfie, with makeup as if she were at a party, then, I digitally located her at a concert, with drinks on a table, this way the image feels almost real but still fake. Then I added Instagram icons and hashtags, as a statement of that necessity one may feel of saying to the world: "Hey, I'm beautiful, I'm having a good time, I'm happy". This necessity can be sometimes well funded, and it's a reality for many. These are images of the creative pr...

Based on the text given in class, about descriptions of different creatures, I created this artwork, which is an interpretation of the fourth description, a creature that can be interpreted as a reptilian. For this piece, I used black & white analog photography, mixing two negatives by double exposure. Then I added color and drawing, digitally, using Photoshop, and Adobe Draw. This is the original print.  This is the image with color added. This is the final artwork. The other artwork I made was inspired by the first creature of the text, which, as I guessed, was a hippopotamus. I didn't draw a hippo though, I limited myself to follow the description from the text. This is the watercolor I made based on the text.

This is the final piece I created based on a quadrant from one of the views of my interpretation of Hepplewhite's chair. These are the views of the chair I made. I created my final artwork based on the following quadrant of the superior view. This is a picture I shot to use as a reference. These are images of the creative process.

  4- Albrecht Dürer's rhinoceros compared to Hans Burgkmair's woodcut    I prefer Albrecht Dürer's print rather than Hans Burgkmair's. In my opinion, while Dürer's woodcut is less realistic, adding features like a horn on the base of the neck, and plates that look like armored and organized patterns like scales in the legs, the artist captured the essence, the mood, the spirit of the animal, drawing him as a menacing, fierce, and majestic beast. Burgkmair's print shows him with a gentler expression, and in chains, diminishing his magnificence. 7- In my opinion, the most amusing depiction of the rhinoceros is Franqois Leguat's, in his print "Voyuge et avanrures . . . en deux isles desertesdes Indes orientales". In this print, the artist depicts various rhinoceros, but it's like he is re-imagining them, based on external sources; one of the rhinoceros is very similar to Dürer's, but  Franqois Leguat put his own interpretation in all o...
