This one took over forty hours to complete. I got mad at one point that it was taking so long and ended up doing some of my best work. Another time I fell asleep while doing lone work and lost about an hour and a half of work (because my hand fell and I drew a solid line across the woodwork on the building behind the people.
Oh! I forgot to mention this on Instagram, because it was summer school, and I was taking two classes AND working (7 a.m. - 10 p.m. days with ZERO breaks), I had to stay up from 10 p.m. until class started at 7 a.m. on Friday to get it all done. My teachers couldn’t believe that I’d get everything done on time I was so far behind at times. It was a thrill to surprise them as often as I did.
Oh! I forgot to mention this too. The homework was to recreate a masterpiece of artwork installing yourself into the work. I chose American Gothic by Grant Wood. The faces you see are mine and my friend Allison.
