The intention of the researcher's study is to establish a world of her own artwork that features with thistle, in which she reflects her positive attitude.
To add depth to the world of the researcher's artworks, she has studied about two artists, Saimdang Shin and Georgia O’Keeffe who made paintings of flower. Also, she analyzed her eight artworks and studied of why she created them, how she made certain compositions for them, and ways of expressing them.
After studying of Saimdang Shin’s artworks, the researcher was impressed by her artistic taste beyond the flow of the times and learned a lesson to keep a great attitude to express life force through flower that is an ordinary subject matter found in daily life. She was bold when making a composition, and applied colors smoothly, so that she could express vitality of flower in her own way and be the one who completed the beauty of Korea through her work of art, which inspired the researcher to reflect in her own way.
The researcher concluded, after studying of Georgia O’Keeffe’s artworks, that she should be free in her painting like Georgia O'Keeffe was when making a composition and should keep originality because she found out that Georgia O'Keeffe had a new way of expressing flower, of which she took a close-up shot, reflecting her own emotion and vivid imagery.
The researcher learned from studying of those two artists, Saimdang Shin and Georgia O’Keeffe that they established their own world of art with their liberal mind and unique artistic perspective by expressing a friendly material, flower that can be found everywhere in daily life, building a new way of making expressive paintings, and sharing their great artistic taste and attitude with the viewers.
Below is what the researcher has organized in terms of her study and the subject matter of her artwork, thistle, in which she reflects the bright side of her emotion that she wants to share with the viewers.
First of all, to make a composition and divide space in my canvas, the researcher uses a lot of sketches while trying to pay attention to the variation of the negative space and making simple forms.
Second of all, when coloring, the researcher tries not to change the color of her subject matter while she applies pastel colors to the background of her painting, making layers to give a depth to the surface of the canvas and create a new atmosphere.
Third of all, the researcher pursues a liberal touch in her painting by mixing colors of the subject matter and those of the background, so that the rectangle of her painting doesn’t look dull and simple.
Fourthly, the researcher tries not to use dividing lines between her subject matter and the background of it, which is a fixed idea when making a painting.
Fifthly, the researcher needs to explore further about various art techniques and the usages of them to establish a profound world of her artworks.
Through her study, the researcher has realized that she needs to use various materials and techniques to convey what she feels in her daily life to her work of art more vividly.
