Theme: PATTERNS // **Artist Statement:** //
 * Jodi's Art **

I am a student in the International Baccalaureate Program and take Visual Arts, a two year program in which we create a portfolio and record findings in our IWB. I have taken previous art classes, however these were not as rigorous as the classes of the IB program. Each student had to choose a theme that they would like to focus on. For my theme I originally chose Street Art, focusing on the techniques and styles typically used by street artists. However this soon changed as I began to explore the theme of patterns more frequently.

Within my theme of Patterns, I began to layer different patterns, ultimately making one chaotic pattern. I also incorporated 'street art' styles within the creation of my pieces. I am influenced by artists such as Keith Haring, ‘Swoon‘, Julian Beever, and other street artists. I feel as though these artists provide contemporary and interesting approaches in the creation and ultimate appearance of their art.
