- Candidate Statement Before IB art, I had little experience with
artistic exploration past 8 th grade level assignments. Developing
a theme was my first and largest obstacle I had to face. I overcame
this obstacle through research and reflection. I decided upon a
theme that not only interested me but is relevant to my other
classes. In my body of work I make an effort to illustrate ones
meanings, methods, and approaches to storytelling through. The
second obstacle I faced was finding a medium which enabled me to
surpass my usual mediocrity and fully develop and utilize my
artistic ability. I began my efforts through trial and error,
practice, and repetition. Before this exploration I was wary of
paints. Although my first attempts were not the greatest, I have
now overcome my fear of painting and it has become one of my
strengths. My favorite mediums are pencil and oil paint; pencil
because of its precision and oil paint because of its ability to
blend easily, overlap layers, create texture, and the slow drying
paint allows me to revisit my work whenever desired. For each of my
pieces I come up with a topic that branches off from the central
theme of storytelling. I then come up with a concept sketch that
incorporates not only the theme but expands to cover subjects from
different cultures, aesthetic techniques, and literary features
that ties the piece together. Some aesthetic influences on my work
include surreal artists Sandy Skoglund and Gabriel B. Their
depiction of a reality which borders the lines of a fantastical
world and underlying dark tones in their work connects with my
work. Madeline Siano 0518-267

tears from his now dry eyes Trapped in with his fears people cry,
lie, die They love like mirrors Inside: Wishing to move on and
drift through the clouds, where worries are gone and there is no
sound. From the world withdrawn yet forever bound.
