Trace a Hand, Trace a Foot
A self portrait of sorts. The artist begins by tracing his own hand or foot. Then, using his imagination, he develops the rest of the portrait around a central theme, in this case, skateboarding. In order to depict the entire person, interesting perspectives are used, such as this view from ground level. You can see the wheels on the skateboard from this viewpoint, and the contours of the artist's knees. Meanwhile, his friends in the background are also in unusual positions, and in the process of becoming injured. It is a humorous piece of art, done in a light tone. Mixed media, using crayons, markers and pencil.
Artist: Zack, 7th grade.
