The Overbearing and The Neglected Painting

For my studio final I wanted to show both spectrums of a neglected child versus one that is coddled and overshadowed by their parents. When I was making mock sketches for inspiration I had just drawn different ways I can draw two different people until I stumbled upon the idea of splitting in half a dollhouse and having the children moving throughout the house after school and doing activities designated towards their family style. I decided to do an ink painting with very vibrant colors to show that these households are on the extreme sides of family parenting styles.

Someone commented in class that I probably could have put rooms in the middle of both the upstairs of the house and downstairs to portray a neutral type of parenting style, which is something I wish I had done. I do like the outcome of how my painting turned out, although I do wish the two sides were may be a bit more distinguishable that the two children come from separate families.
