Midnight Dance

Water Colours

Midnight Dance, this drawing is a silhouette of a ballerina dancing in the midnight. Everyone has their own passion and in my drawing it shows as though the girl’s passion is to dance ballet. The material I used to conduct this drawing is water colour, I used the colours blue, purple, and black to conduct a silhouette of the dancer, dancing in the moonlight. I was inspired by a photo of a man doing yoga in the night sky. (123rf. N.p., n.d.

Oddly enough, I had thought that the photo was a dance position and it had inspired me to paint a ballerina.

Pastel Colours

My picture represents emotionalism to me since I feel as though the photo of the ballerina shows a great amount of emotion because of her shape and structure in the picture. I thought the ballerina looking down at the ground in the darkness was very beautiful and artistic. I also used the dark colours to bring out the look of the ballerina's emotion of sadness as she looks down in the moonlight. I feel that her arms curved the way they do show that she is about to dance a slow elegant ballet dance. Lastly as she is dancing in the darkness, under the moon light it shows as though she doesn't want anyone to see her emotions so she dances late at night. I feel as this relates to our society and how everyone has their own ways of showing their emotions, whether its with loud music, sad calming music, drawing or even dancing to clear your head fro all emotions.
