A boy lost his kite. He is so very sad that he thinks about it every day, every hour, every minute, every second. Even when he sleeps, he dreams about it.
This piece is showing his dream, how he gets into Kiteland of his mind, his anxiety of not being able to see his kite ever again.
I try to make the entire piece flows. The style used in this piece varies from top to bottom: black and white, pop art, cubism, art nouveau, and expressionism (on the bottom and the line).
The story of this project is related to the kite from the previous project. It is about the boy who owns the kite. Panel 1 to panel 5 in this project tells us about how the boy ends up having his kite flown away. In the first panel, which is done is pop art style shows the boy thinking about his kite. The second to fifth panel is about his flashback of how he loses the kite. In the second panel, which is the black and white one, he still has the kite with him. In the third panel, which is done is cubism style, he loses his hold on his kite because he concentrates on drinking a cup soft drink. The forth panel (art nouveau style) shows us the sad boy who realizes that he has lost his kite. The last one, the fifth panel, has the boy looking up the sky hoping his kite would come back to him.
The story of this project will be about the owner of the kite from previous project. As we know, the kite flew away. Now, the owner is looking up to the sky, night and day, looking at the sun and the moon. Days go by, sky changes.
Black and White
The piece will be almost black and white with a bit of low saturated colors.
Florescent Pigments
Pictures above are Yoshitomo Nara’s, Takashi Murakami’s, and Andy Warhol’s pieces. My second panel will be graphical and have bright color as well as earth tone.
Transparency
The pictures above are from Picasso and Delaunay. My third panel would have pattern background with some geometric and bright color.
Metallics
The pictures above are pieces by Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Mucha, and a window by Louis Comfort TIffany. My forth panel will use earth tone with metallic or bright colors.
Expressive Line
The pieces above are from Affandi and Egon Schiele. My fifth panel will have sketchy feeling for the outline with some painterly coloring.
The character in these eight panels is a kite. The kite is traveling in the sky going up and down following where the wind blow. The world it is traveling in consists of three parts: the upper, the middle, and the lower. Each world to the other is separated by clouds.
I made the eight panels continuous. The first to second panels show the upper world. The third, forth, fifth. and sixth panels show the middle world. The last one shows the lower world.
The first panel shows the metropolitan city of upper world. The second shows its windows, bridge, and some part of clouds that separate the upper and middle world. The third shows the clouds and a circle that is ambiguous whether it is a sun or a moon. The forth shows tomatoes with cloud as its ground. The fifth shows the kite flying with clouds in the back. The sixth panel shows a pair of windows and a wire silhouette. The seventh shows the movement string of the kite. And the last, the eight, shows rain falling at the lower world
