Teen Lab at the Art Institute of Chicago
Get To Know Me: Jacquelin
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ARTISTIC STYLE?
It depends on what the topic is, I like combining a mixture of things from whatever comes to my mind. Especially my feelings, I want my panting to reflect the way I feel. It's a mixture, I like putting things together like a collage. I also like painting a lot.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO CREATE?
My art teacher, she drives us everyday and never gives up on us. Even if we don't get it the first time, she's going to keep telling us, 'It's okay, artists make mistakes-- just continue and you'll get better'.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS? DOES IT START WITH A SKETCH, A PHOTO, OR AN IDEA?
If I see something that catches my eye and I like it, things start running through my mind so I start thinking of ways I can do it in my own way but still show the artists' original piece.
WHAT DOES TEEN LAB MEAN TO YOU?
Teen Lab means the world to me, I really like being in Teen Lab. It feels like can express myself here and I don't have to hide, that's why I like Teen Lab.
