Synthetic Cubism Artwork

Our second piece of artwork was to be a piece of synthetic cubism, the form of cubism that evolved from analytic cubism. Synthetic cubism is more open to bold colours, fewer and simpler forms, and less focus on the actual natural objects, so I figured that this would fit very well with my initial plan for the analytic cubism piece. I was very satisfied with the pencil design of my analytic artwork, so I decided to also use this as the base of my synthetic artwork, as I felt that it would become very successful.

If I could have done it again, I would have spent more time with the details and accuracy. I also would have done the neck of the guitar differently, as I didn't really like how it turned out.

I tried to use various different bold, strong colours and textures with not necessarily the logical colours, so as to grab people's attention and create an interesting art-piece. To be able to do this I used acrylic colours, in addition to leaving some spaces white for variation.
Looking back, I think I really managed this, although some parts turned out a bit odd, like the guitar neck I also think I managed to create a sense of unity and "oneness" in my work by keeping the same style throughout my work, while at the same time using a lot of variations to create contrast and make the painting interesting.

I am very satisfied with how it turned out and I really enjoyed this unit once I got the hang of it. :)
