Clarisa
Hi! My name is Clarisa González. I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY, and absolutely love the city! I went to Preston High School (which is in the Throggsneck area of the Bronx) and am currently a Liberal Arts major at The City College of New York, hoping to go into architecture one day.
One of my favorite past-times is sketching. I enjoy looking at objects around me and figuring out how to first reduce it to simple objects, and then add depth to make it look real. For my project, I decided to look at art in NYC and try to create my own. To spice things up, I researched four types of art that were/are predominant in NYC and re-make the same piece of art in those four ways.
Though it may not look like much, it was fun and challenging to find the characteristics of each style and try to incorporate them in my own art. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
*Note: All four of the paintings done in the styles described are done with acrylic paint.
