This Is a work that is perhaps created out of an impulse and has little artistic value. It is created under an influence to speak out your mind.
The Scene predicted is perhaps very Global. Landsharks influnencing Governments to grab lands agricultural lands and there is nothing peacefull about it.
Friends, This is Papier mache on board with Acrylic to paint and straw etc.
This definitely a bad work but all your crits and comments will be most welcome.

its papier mache so not much you can really do to make it look fantastic but i can see message that you are trying to get across... i like it :)

Hmmm, I think that's really interesting how you made the figures dimensional like that.

Hello 260171,
I think you have lots of very strong statements to make with your art, but that you lack a full vocabulary of academic art skills with which to express your ideas. For example, you are using color arbitrarily, rather than using it to draw the eye to the figures, which are the most important part of your image. (And your choice of orange text underscores this. It is pretty but unreadable.) You have stumbled onto an interesting composition here, but a more solid understanding of composition would allow you to control it, again, to bring attention to the important parts of the image.

The way that you have used paper mache is eye-catching. However, because it is by nature a clumsy medium, I think it is preventing you from developing solid drawing skills, and an understanding of value, both of which would ultimately help you more in your goal to communicate.

If you are interested in practicing the basics, check out the “Concept Art 101” link in my sig.

Cheers!

Thanks Andy Stone.
Thanks emily g, the dimensionality of the figure is due to papier mache. I always felt its a different type of medium suited to portray our native cultural requirements. Thanks again.
Sorry! Seedling if the colour of the text was rather bad, actually I have an affinity for Saffron its our national colour. True my academic skills in the world of Art is seriously lacking. I have no formal or informal training in Art. Thanks for the help I will definitely look for it.
