Hi! My name is Imogen Barnes and I am originally from Bristol, England. I moved to Michigan when I was young, then moved to Connecticut in 6th grade, and now I’m here in Worcester!
I have always enjoyed making art since a young age, and I am currently working on my pen and ink techniques. Recently I’ve become interested in making these ‘shadow boxes,’ where I layer my drawings in a box to create depth (I will attach some examples of my work in my portfolio).
Other than drawing/painting, I love to make music! I am a guitarist and played some shows when I was in high school. I am currently in the jazz band here at WPI and I hope to join/create a gigging rock band sometime while I’m here.
I’m really looking forward to creating art with all of you this term!
Its clear that you’ve put a lot of detail into these works. Everything is well defined and the black and white images in particular have a lot of depth and attention to small details.
Hi Imogen, I will give you the impressive badge. I love your village scene piece. I can’t imagine how much work went into the drawing and then creating the overlay. Super cool!
Impressive: Those shadow boxes are so cool!
I will give you the inventive badge. I feel like you had a purpose with all of your pieces and they are all very detail oriented!
I’m really impressed with the color palette you used for the feature images and the contrast between those two. Your shadow boxes are incredible, and I also love your inking pieces.
One detailed badge from me.
I love the color in your work. Your focus on detail with reflections are stunning as well! Awesome work!
Hi Imogen, I’m very impressed by the detail in your shadow boxes, they look so cool! I’m also giving you a colorful badge for your paintings, they look great!
hi! Im leaving you the impressive and detailed badges because woah the details in the middle two pieces are extraordinarily impressive. I really enjoyed how you played with color and black and white.
Hi Imogen!! Your artwork is so unique. I love your style so I’m going to give you the striking badge. I think that your artwork is super cool and I really enjoy it :))
Hi Imogen! WOW! I really love your art!! I’d like to give you the thought-provoking badge because I am blown away by the realism and emotions that your art displays.
Striking! I’ve made shadow boxes before, but never thought to include drawings on them. That is one of the coolest things I’ve seen.
Hi Imogen! I am going to give you the detailed badge because there is a lot of attention to the small details in your artwork. Your work is very impressive and I enjoyed looking at it, I especially loved the piece you used as the profile because every time I look at it there is a new observation I make that I didn’t see the first time.
Hi! I think the detailed and striking badge especially because of the shadow boxes where each layer becomes a focus point while looking at it. I also think the pieces with the reflections are thought provoking.
Hey Imogen!! Your art has an unconventional feel to it and I love it! I’ll give you the shiny and inventive badge.
Hi Imogen 🙂 Your artwork is so beautifully detailed and very impressive to me. Looking forward to seeing what projects you will create in our class!
Impressive: all I have to say is “talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular”, your art is so detailed and accurate and I think my favorite is the bouquet of flowers!
Hi Imogen! Wow! Your works really blew me away! I’m going to give you the impressive badge because every detail of your works is beautiful! You manage to incorporate realistic and very detailed elements along with colorful, fluid backgrounds, which really pulls your work as a whole together very well!
Detailed for sure! I am really blown away by the careful attention you put into the black and white pictures they are incredible. And I really love the almost Picasso style for the girl sitting in the green reflectie room, it came out really cool to be honest!
