Courtroom Art 1/14/17

March 3, 2018 by Michaela Lozada

(11″ x 14″, Graphite, Markers, and Conte)

This was completed on January 14, 2017. It is a sketch completed from a performance during the Mock Trial Preliminary Competition. I act as an attorney for the defense, and when I’m not defending the rights of my clients, I play the role of team courtroom artist. For this sketch, I portray a friend delivering an opening statement for the plaintiff side of the trial in the presence of two volunteer judges and two defense attorneys. I used pencil, markers, and conte pastels on 11″ x 14″ sketchbook paper. This courtroom art was fully completed during the trial it portrays, and it was not worked on at all afterwards. My goal in creating this art was to convey the arrangement and atmosphere of the courtroom, focusing on correctly placing both people and objects as well as staying as faithful to the original colors as possible. From my understanding, this is the highest aspiration of all courtroom artists.

Artist Statement

My art has always acted as a microphone for my thoughts and observations; through it, I make my voice heard. Through wide-ranging media, such as charcoal portraiture, 2-D and 3-D animation, and oil painting, I create statements on equally widespread themes, from the nobilities of simple living to issues of global concern.

Whenever possible, I use my computer science background to integrate elements of programming and the digital world into my art, making for a very unique portfolio!

Media

I choose media carefully to best complement this process. Charcoals and graphite are used to capture the most fleeting subject material, using quick, sparing strokes to reflect bodies in motion and draw out the evanescence of the image as a whole. For the opposite effect, I often elect to use paints (usually oils) to create a work with multiple depths. Glazes layered carefully on thicker mixes of paint are used to capture the nuances of the personalities I choose to convey. I always try to adapt my knowledge of computer science to my art, mixing traditional art with digital and combining seemingly opposing media.
