^{this is the draft for my SI one; it's a revised version of "you, in their image." piece details are below! note that this is NOT the most recent image (this post will be updated EOP Monday to reflect edits!)}

_composition_{: diagonal}

_colors_{: the figure will be desaturated neutrals (like marble), the background will be black with silver swirls, and the halo/brainmass will be yellow}

_materials_{: I'm currently thinking of acrylic paints & color pencils, with some posca pens (for swirls) and thread (for the hands). However, this might change as I refine the concept more! (I chose paper that can be used for the majority of my preferred mediums, so I shouldn't run into a snag later down the line!)}

_{to do (help!)}_{: I'd like to know what I should do with the shoulders! I honestly don't know what to do with them- should I encorporate a motif that stays throughout the rest of my pieces, should I paint them as normal shoulders, or should I just erase them and have the neck fade into the background? Additionally, I'm worried for if sewing the thread would damage the piece- is there another way I could attach it but retain the nature of the thread (so no drawing it on or gluing the whole thing down; I'd like some aspect of 3D-ness and potentially let it flow off the page!)}

20043591 — 2024-10-01 02:10:35 UTC

^composition:^{circular- this was a purposeful choice, since a lot of the elements in this piece are round}

^materials:^{acrylic paints, colored pencils, and clay.}

^to-do^{: finish up shaping and coloring (?) the hands, bring the warm yellow tone down to the shoulders of the body, and add the silver swirls to emphasise the black circles in the background (as well as touching up the background itself)}

^help!:^{should I color in the hands or not, and if so, should I color them in like flesh, or should I fade them in to the background? Should I add more streams of the "soul" flowing out of the brain? How is the overall lighting of the piece- is it clear what is the source? How can I make the colors less muddy yet maintain that "unfinished" feeling.}

Sustained Invest Question:

I centered my investigation on the tension between personal goals and those set by your family. My pieces explore the resulting loss that ensues when you are forced to choose between honoring your genuine self and assimilating.

Strengths:

clear question - analytical
patterns - how could you use this to show expectation and other (jarring pattern that doesn't fit)
hands (repeated element). How can these be used to show control (silhouettes... connecting to sewing/ thread/ computer chips)
composition (framing, circular, radiating). F,M, Bground (depth)

Processes/ Materials:

Materials items that remind you of family and future plans (photos, sewing, food, recipes, paystubs, clay, patterns, clothing
Processes - use the above to paint/ rubbing/ print. Use processes that show assimilation (repeated images that gradually change... patterns). use processes that show tension (pulling, separating between 2 sides)
Staging photos of your art in significant places.

20043591 — 2024-10-04 04:52:15 UTC

^{not a final piece, but pretty close to it! all that's left is to finish up the hands by adding patterned fabric over them (or at least smoothening them out) and adding silver swirls to the background!}

20043591 — 2024-10-04 04:59:56 UTC

^{First draft on final paper! The concept behind this piece is exploring generational "gifts," and the illusion of free choice. The cookie box tends to hide sewing equipment, so I wanted to piggyback off of that reality to explore how the "choice" of a career in some families really boils down to choosing from a pre-made set. Here, the careers I explore are some careers members of my family have had over the past three generations.}

^composition:^{I think this overall composition is going to end up being circular, but I still need to sketch out a few more details to make it so.}

^materials:^{I am going to do a mix of markers, colored pencil, and watercolor (watercolor pencils?)}

^colors:^{I'm going to have this piece be overall cool toned, as the box is blues. I may create interest through having the hands be blank space (saves me detail, too) and cutting out elements to put in the background}

^to-do:^{quite literally everything; I have to decide my light source, as it's likely coming from outside the canvas. I also have to sketch in a few more elements}

^ideas:^{include snapdragons as a border around the hands- they symbolize deception and graciousness -> gratitude?}

20043591 — 2024-10-04 22:58:32 UTC

^{My concept sketches for my next piece! This will be a print on gelli, so this is just a sketch of how it might end up looking! It's supposed to be a dining table blending into a chess board to represent a common place family conflicts occur}

^composition:^{radiating (the edges of the chess board will be dimmed in a vignette)}

^{color scheme:}^{black & white, I want to play with negative space!}

^materials:^{print making supplies, and then red thread layered over the lines on the chessboard (leading back to the figure on the other side of the table). Colored pencils will be used for the actual table portion}

^to-do:^{figure out perspective for this piece, and add the chess pieces and dinner props to the sketch. Once the sketch is finished, I will transfer the piece to gelli during block period next week!}

20043591 — 2024-10-23 17:27:20 UTC

^{Final piece! This piece represents the dining table becoming a chess board of sorts, symbolizing how a family's unity is threatened by differing choices and desires. The only change I}^might^{make is to add glitter to the ends and trim down the hot glue a little, especially around the bowls and edges of the piece.}

^Materials:^{Air dry clay, Posca pens, paper bowls, plastic utensils, hot glue, and lace (potentially also glitter)}

^Composition:^Circular

^{Key elements:}^{Use of patterns on bowls and checkered squares, a well as the pattern on the lace.}

20043591 — 2024-10-23 17:30:51 UTC

^{This is my final piece for SI 2; no changes will likely be made to this piece! This piece, titled,}^{Generational Gifts}^,^{focuses on the deception/illusion of free choice presented by a family member in order to get someone to abide to the path that they- the family- have chosen for them.}

^Materials:^{Alcohol markers, watercolor, and colored pencil}

^Composition:^Circular

20043591 — 2024-10-23 17:33:08 UTC

^{This is my final piece for SI one. It focuses on the idea of manipulation and how it results in a loss of one's soul/or passion when one allows their family to completely re-make them.}

^Materials:^{Acrylic paints, colored pencils, and air-dry clay}

^Composition:^Circular

^{Key Elements:}^{The use of spirals in the background to symbolize "hypnosis" of sorts}

20043591 — 2024-10-23 17:42:12 UTC

^{Not quite a process photo, but here is a glimpse of my process making the chess pieces from SI 3. I used chess pieces I had at home as my reference, and made note of the major shapes, before recreating them with clay (making each section separately and then pressing them together and shaping them with a thumbtack).}

20043591 — 2024-10-23 18:20:44 UTC

^{An earlier sketch of my piece, when I had just finished with the alcohol markers and watercolor background.}

^{An action shot from my SI 3}

20043591 — 2024-10-23 18:28:40 UTC

^{Action shot from my SI 3. Here, I am pressing one of the side plates down onto tape so I can see how it looks (later, I hot-glued it to the chessboard).}

^{Concept behind this piece: an artist surrounded by negativity and being told to shut up. Maybe surround her in art, and then have like...negative text in the center?}

^{I'm trying to go for a reverse fisheye perspective...so somewhat circular.}

^Materials:^{watercolor base, but mainly acrylics. Color pencils at the end?}

20043591 — 2024-11-09 21:55:37 UTC

^{final piece for SI 4!}

20043591 — 2024-11-19 19:25:12 UTC

^{Ideas for rephrasing the question:}

^{What happens as your own wishes clash with others'?}
^{What conflicts occur when paths split over different goals?}
^{What conflicts occur within a family when goals clash?}

20043591 — 2024-11-19 19:27:10 UTC

^{Likely an edit of a previous work due to time constraints...}

20043591 — 2024-11-19 19:28:32 UTC

^{The book, but undecorated. It will be filled with college admission letters, plane tickets, little mementos, etc. Frame it with the pieces of textbook torn out from it <- maybe use those for another project?}

20043591 — 2024-11-19 19:29:27 UTC

^{The book, but paint the cover like a diary and add locks and chains around it. Frame it with the pieces of the textbook trying to cover it, almost.}

20043591 — 2024-11-19 19:30:18 UTC

^{A photo-frame piece. Maybe use thread or clay as well?}

20043591 — 2024-12-03 01:51:12 UTC
