Art
For my art project, I illustrated Jimi Hendrix life and symbolic things to him. I started off by cutting a photo out of a calendar of him and tracing the background of the picture so I could create a rainbow shadow effect. Then I drew a bubble shape around him creating a separate background. I added drips around the circle to create the trippy effect that would relate back to psychedelic effect that many fans know was a huge part of his life. Then I drew a few symbolic things in Jimi's life, to show his perspective. I added the Woodstock logo at the bottom left. I added this in because Jimi was known for this, which went down in history as one of the best performances in history. I also added a shroom, to show his love for acid and shrooms. Jimi was known for spending most of his days, specially towards the end on shrooms tripping. Then I drew music notes surrounding Jimi swell as coming out of his guitar. I also drew a yin yang with clocks in the circle to show how Jimi was always talking about how he thought he was going to die, and how he predicted his own death to all of his friends. I also wanted to show an illustration of two sides to show the two sides he had. I next drew the eye with wings as another symbol for Jimi's music. I also showed a dove, because it shows the piece and pureness Jimi's intentions were for equality and how many describe he treated others with good intent and kindness. I also drew a peace sign, as a way to show his work for the Black Panthers which he faced a lot of controversy for. I also drew a tongue that says "Music Is The Drug" with an acid tab to show the way Jimi used acid and drugs for the overall experience of his music, and daily life. I added a few other things to show the hippie side of him. I added a black background and white "stars" to the background to create a space effect that would help illustrate that it is Jimi's world, and perspective.
