After talking about my ideas with a few classmates and Stephanie, I felt a little better sense of what it is that I am trying to accomplish for my project. It reinforced my thoughts on what is passionate to me, and it also left me with some thoughts that I might not have come up with otherwise.
Stephanie and Kyla both came up with an idea that seemed interesting to me, which was the idea of "what the text says vs. what you see". Stephanie remembered a drawing that I showed in class in which I drew my legs and wrote text that said "I have faces in my knees" beside them. She talked about how she didn't really know how to feel about it, but that is what she liked about it. Thus far, I have been making little illustrations of emotions with certain characters and labeling them with an exact emotion, but after talking in our groups, I definitely will consider using text in my illustrations that doesn't automatically say the emotion that I am trying to display. I think using text that is weird and quirky will get the viewer's imagination going , which will then get emotional reactions going as well. After all, I am a quirky person who likes weird and dark humor, and it would be nice to incorporate that into my artwork even further.
