Agustin Lara

This week I decided to create a piece based on the person behind some of the music we listen to and sing in class. This person would be none other than Agustin Lara. I decided to try something new but feel as though I failed. I yet again I wanted to think outside the box and try working with collage. I used a found cardboard and magazine cutouts. I created an image of Lara creating and playing an abstract piano. I incorporated the work "Extraordinary" because I feel that it described to the t who Lara was, an extraordinary individual and a legend in the music world. I wanted to try collage because its a medium that I had never tried before and I made it simple because I feel less to be more. in this case I do not feel that my piece was successful nor do I feel it to be stron. I feel like it lacked personality and I guess I learned hat sometimes change is not a good thing. It was something I really wanted to try but I guess I just personally was not happy with the outcome. Critique went well overall but feel as though my thoughts regarding the work were confirmed by my peers and Tony as well. I will continue to try different mediums but will put a bit more thought into what I create.
