Introductory

Motherhood Art Gallery

An online art show

 Curated by Wendy Stephens for Miramar College Art 100

Featuring a variety of artists that elicit feelings of connection, excitement, defeat, and appreciation of the motherhood experience.

You will explore a few of the feelings that mothers feel before and during motherhood through a variety of techniques, mediums, and style. The media of video art is used to express the feelings of acceptance and appreciation. Conventional mediums such as oil paint, tempura paint, and pastels using different techniques and styles such as realism, impressionism, and Japanese influence will be explored. Some of the Three dimensional sculptures using mixed media, precious metals, and marble showing the subtractive and additive process will be displayed. Digital photographs will display the powerful views of society and the effects. You will be taken on a tour of cool and warm colors, bold lines and light brushstrokes, and the illusion of time and motion. The artists use focal points and emphasis, balance and rhythm, distortion of scale, and proportion as principles of design in many of the art pieces being viewed.

I hope you enjoy the artwork picked for this gallery. It is the feelings and emotions I feel when I think of my experience of motherhood.
