| Summary: | This research focuses on exploring the theme of self-appreciation and selfawareness through the art of drawing with a symbolic approach. Using shading
and layering techniques with a ballpoint pen, this work presents imaginative
mythological creatures that function as symbols of human uniqueness. The creative
process begins with in-depth research on symbolism in art, sketching, and selecting
visuals that represent the intended concepts. References from mythology and artists
like Brian Froud and Kaname Fujioka are utilized to support the creation of these
creatures. This work employs the theory of fine arts as representation and
symbolism to depict how humans, as creations of God, possess unique potentials
that are often forgotten. The research findings indicate that a symbolic approach
in drawing can be an effective medium for conveying moral and spiritual messages
about the importance of self-appreciation and awareness of human uniqueness.
Thus, this work not only serves as an artistic expression but also as a tool for
personal reflection and self-development |
