Artist Statement

By: Dyrell Wilson

With all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been especially proud of my school work and art assignments. Going to Glad Tidings Church of God in Christ has had a huge impact on my life because it is a shelter close to my home that I fell protected and safe in. I love the pastor and the messages he brings to the congregation. the church choir is amazing and you can fell there hearts and compassion when they are singing there songs. I love the church being apart of my life because i feel secure and protected in the power of the blood of Jesus Christ when I think about God and how he has been the head of my life and my salvation. I love God because so many wonderful blessings has came from the power of him.

The materials I used to make my art work was water color paint brush, paint, gray scale, photo shop, and illustrator. To make my art piece i needed those materials and soft wears so it can look the way i wanted it to look. i chose those specific colors because that's the colors of the church. most of the colors I had to use as a substitute because I couldn't find all of the exact colors. i think my piece is good because I worked hard on it, but I could have done better because i started to rush toward the end of the piece. In the end i feel it really came out good.

the texture of the piece is smooth and rough. the smooth part is the bottom half and everything flows together. The rough part is at the top of the piece, the church is built in a different way and it was hard to paint at the top of it. I tried to get every thing to flow together and it does in a way i really can't explain how it al flows but it does and I'm proud of it.

The message i was trying to send was church can help you when you need it and they will always come threw for you. i wouldn't use any other image because i love going to church and being around churchly people. i spent about two weeks on my piece. my piece is very special to me because I worked hard and long on it. This isn't my best work but it is close to it and i am not ashamed of my work because mine is not the worst art piece. if I had more time to make my piece it would be be more art and colors but i only have a limited of time to finish my piece.

I really enjoyed doing this art piece because it was something different and exciting to use different brush tools and colors. my piece is successful is because i am proud of it and other people like it. if other people like my piece than i like it even more. My art piece represents me because I go to church every sunday and i love spending time with my lord.
