Concentration

  

My concentration is about portraying my Aztec culture’s artistic nature. Aztec art deals with a lot of figures, designs and color, so I wanted to create pieces that signified an Aztec’s ritualistic background. Aztecs have a civilized yet beastly nature, so my concentration depicts the artistic side of the Aztec nature.
In my pieces I showcased the use of color, pattern, and Aztec warriors. In my pieces I used feathers with a lot of color, because during ceremonies Aztecs wore head-dresses full of feathers with many different colors. The use of patterns in my pieces demonstrate how Aztecs used a lot of design in their culture and religious background.

Breadth

I made this piece more abstract then most landscapes. The trees seem to come alive more because i gave the roots,branches, and trunks of the trees a more curvy look almost like hands.

The chairs stacked together represent a family full of people with completely different emotions and personalities. The reason that they're tumbled together is because they are fighting one another over personal issues.
