Why do it?I didn't know what it would feel like to be proud of an art piece till I created this one. It took little bit of time. I used a canvas and acrylic paint and the writing with just sharpie. The title of my art piece defines what my art piece is about. Why are you doing these things to these individuals or maybe even yourself. You can definitely see the different shades of drip. They're all in the same family and represent pain. I decided to use drip because it showed blood coming down at different speeds, which can also be defined as different ages. The news inspired me to do this art piece. It came from innocent non-white children being killed randomly out in the streets for most of the time just walking home from work. The quote " Education shouldn't be THE REASON someone must die." comes from not just whats going on but what they think it's okay. Society has made their own belief that the only people that matter are those with education, those who have honor roll in school and that those are the ones that shouldn't be killed. Well, what if these people didn't have an education or have good grades? would that be a better reason for certain people to die on the daily?NO!
I wanted people to think about life. The yellow in the background defines someone inner skin tone because of what's inside and the different shades of drip should've signified blood and suffering. The words because in cursive describes education and how it may be important but the middle being bold and not cursive says it's not necessary. My goals as an artist are to express feelings people are feeling but are afraid to do so because of what may be the result after they've spoken their truth. This piece relates to a lot of people and it gives them a chance to breathe because i've taken the weight off of them about having to discuss this topic with someone and being afraid. This piece is exactly what I was expecting it to be, a reliever.
