So, this was my final project for my Modern Art class last semester. I'm just now getting around to uploading it. I... kind of forgot about it, and just recently found it when digging around my closet. So here it is.

This is based on the works Umberto Boccioni... and more specifically, his piece States of Mind: The Farewells. ([link]) For the project we had to basically pick out a piece of work that we liked, and use that as an inspiration for our own piece of work. Then we had to type up a paper comparing the two, and present everything in class.

So, Boccioni. If you don't know anything about him, I suggest you look him up. He was a Futurist painter, and in his States of Mind series, painted the movement of a train station. I basically took the concept and made it into a computer, instead. Which may be kind of silly, since computers don't really *move* at all, but I was trying to portray the movement of electricity and even information from the internet... in a rather abstract way, obviously. Maybe it was a silly concept, but I liked the way it turned out.

This was quite a lot of mixed media, but I put it in the drawings category, since this has more sub-categories, and the mixed-media one doesn't. The greeen, which shows up here rather dull, was a bright lime green spray paint (don't spray paint indoors, kids. Bad idea.) and after that dried, I drew on it using ink, paintbrushes, pastels, sharpies, pretty much anything I had in my artbox. TADA.
