Art Assignment Winner Announcement

HERE WAS THE ASSIGNMENT


The Thinker

A famous piece. A bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin. The piece is often used to represent Philosophy.

Originally named The Poet (French: Le Počte), the Thinker was initially a figure in a large commission, begun in 1880, for a doorway surround called The Gates of Hell. Rodin based this on The Divine Comedy of Dante, and most of the many figures in the work represented the main characters in the epic poem. Some critics believe The Thinker, at the centre of the composition over the doorway and at about 70 cm high larger than most other figures, was originally intended to depict Dante at the gates of Hell, pondering his great poem.

However, that has nothing to do with your assignment, should you choose to take it, which is..............

Please create YOUR definition of a thinker.

This could be a human, animal or something else entirely if you have a good imagination lol

RULES

Please create something new JUST for this (of course you can then sell it) if you cannot and wish to load an older one then please do
Any media... photography, sculpture, drawing, painting, knitting......... ANYTHING
Only one entry per member

That's it!

Celebration of Cerebration: When that brilliant idea first strikes.... you're a star! The executive thinker then cogitates, deliberates and delegates. This pointy-head caricature is the modern business version of "The Thinker"...or is he "The Godfather" or a "pointy-hair boss"? It's actually a digitally manipulated version of a gentleman who was watching a musical performance. It was created specifically for this FAA "art assignment".

This digital art print, Wheel Of Fortune, with a person thinking (or overthinking) how to approach the wheel is for all those thinkers who most of the time overthink everything. Hooray for melancholy personalities like me! I needed an Alice In Wonderland image for a website so I combined the two. A sort of Alice In Wonderland Wheel Of Fortune image for this contest. lol Trying to get more color in it turned out more sinister than the original. I was able to use a costumed figure from an image that didn't work out from Venice Carnival. I'm glad he's in there because his costume along with the other revelers he was with matched the theme of my costume (Les Misrables) which were handmade by one of the members of the group.

In the interest of full disclosure, I did not make this specifically for the assignment, but I was inspired to finally invest the several hours in cleaning it up and getting it "FAA ready" specifically because of the assignment. Hopefully that won't disqualify me. Also, I brought donuts = )

Been wondering when the voting would start. Just found out. probably should have been put in contest thread. Agree with Barbie-would have just got something that I had already loaded and tweeked it; thought we weren't supposed to discuss things here-kind of confused-off to vote now. good luck everyone!!
