What is My Why?

My why is to show what kind of mythical creatures are in the Philippines. I want to show how they look like and I want to express more about in the Philippines. that´s the reason why I choose Mythology as my topic. For me it is easier to do that topic because I am a Filipino citizen, I know what mythical creatures are in the Philippines. In each place in our country, there is a different kind of mythical creatures, some Filipinos are not believing that mythical creatures are real. I choose Mythology because I think I can create more ideas on that topic and I want to show that not all mythical creatures are dangerous. Some of them are kind and some are not.

Artist Model

Rodel tapaya

I chose Rodel tapaya because of his artwork. His artworks are so colourful and have a lot of meaning on it. His artworks are all about the mythology in the Philippines. He uses a different kind of media in his works. He used acrylic paint, pencil drawing, fabric, etc. His artworks are well known in the Philippines. Some of his artworks are in museum and other places. He inspires a lot of young people in his country, he also teaches those young people who want to learn about art. His artworks have been an inspiration to those young people who is dreaming to become like him. 

Art

This is my plan for my folio. I separate the sun because on the right side it´s all about good things and on the left side it´s all about bad things. My next step is to draw half of the red moon and put it on the left bad side and connect it on the sun. So it would look like half sun and half moon. the red moon is about bad things and the sun is all about good things.

Art

I have already finished my first drawing which I´m gonna put on my first series which is the guy who's holding a wooden spear. And I also finished my second drawing which is the sun that is in the flag of The Philippines. I made that sun, so it will show that I´m doing an artwork about The Philippine mythology. I made this sun by using wet media and I made my first drawing by using a 6b pencil.
