Value : sketches from today's class - Alejandra Herrera

Value is interesting, it is helping me understand more about how I perceive light and how it creates shape.

Form/Volume of Hindu God - Alejandra Herrera

I focused on the elephant god (ganesha), and worked its form and volume. This figure seems to always have movement and lots of color. Thus, in my drawing I try to show the role color and shape play in this culture.

Alejandra Herrera- Hindu God/Goddess

During the exhibit "Stray Light Grey", I noticed on one of the walls near the bathroom piece, two photos or paintings of Hindu gods. It really caught my attention not only for what it represents but the location they were placed in. 

One of the themes, I got from the exhibit is the fact that nothing is what it seems, everything seems to be a sort of illusion. 

Hindu god/godess also play this role to me. You are not sure of what they are, or the shape they represent and stand for.
