post 7 sky hopkina: how do you make it - fatima flores

    sky hopkina was inspired by the language of chinuk wawa; he believed that learning this language would help him establish a framework or foundation for his approach to video production. until years later, hopkina saw how he approached video, in the same way that he did with grammar, language structure, and all these many rules or methods for language learning. and simply trying to determine what it was that he was interested in, as well as how quite similar they are, in these subtle ways. hopkna uses his meduim of choice by understanding the chinuk wawa language, which has served as a basis for multimedia and narrative approaches for a long time, and it still does so in many ways.

    the materials/medium that i use is, pencil, charcoal, oils, acrylics, rarely oil pastels, colored pencils and markers; i also use an ipad for digital art. i’m used to using pencils, charcoals, and acrylic paint from high school ‘til now, but i am always mesmerized by pencil and charcoal art because they look super realistic, like they’re in black and white film. i don’t like painting so much, but i got inspired to paint again by an artist, online. her realism paintings is what drew me to try oil paint again. i love creating digital artwork the most, every time i scroll on tiktok, twitter (or x), and instagram, i’m such in awe. it’s truly inspiring to see digital art pieces made from tablets and phones. everyday, i get a wisp of creativity to make art on my ipad.
