CHILDHOOD

CHILDHOOD

Childhood, a special opportunity that is only experienced once throughput’s one life time. Once it has passed on, you can only rethink of the times where was life was plain simple. In this case, my artwork goes back into time where instead of having a Play Station 3 I played on the PC along with attending a small private school rather than a big public school.

  Right when you look at the picture you will notice that I emphasized two important electronics, a Gateway PC and my Nintendo Game. From preschool to third grade I was an obsessive PC gamer mostly playing educational and racing games.  computer games. I mostly played games by Humongous Entertainment a company that took possible realistic solutions one may face in life and find solution increasing my problem solving skills. Post third game to now I shifted towards playing game consoles with the Gamecube being the first one I owned and playing it almost every day. 

 The second picture which is emphasized is a logo of The Laurel School a small private school. Here is where I went for my elementary and middle school. The background is a picture capturing the city of San Francisco, where I was born and raised for the last eighteen years of my life. Lastly in the center is an image my baby cousin. In this case he resembles me when he is older,  I will show him the artwork explaining how I used spend my time when I was his age.

This artwork to me is very special because I am presenting a chapter of my life. Earlier I was never an outgoing person. I preferred staying indoors feeling isolated. Since I had difficulties making friends, I would befriend fictional characters that I played with because they had similar traits and personalities I could relate to. Given those reasons I feel that the artwork is successful where I emphasized two game consoles that remain vivid in my mind along with presenting a different educational path I took.
