Kate Owens 10/2

Soooo.. I finished my subjective drawing and overall I am pretty content with it. However, I realized that it ended up a lot safer than I initially planned and a LOT less abstract. Seeing others projects in the critique along with the activities this weekend definitely made me feel that I should have been a lot riskier with my materials and the way I use them. I don’t know how far I really want to go into that direction though… While it was fun this weekend to be reckless with material and rip, pour paint, and draw on other peoples’ finished work, I wasn’t exactly thrilled with my end products. I’ll take from the experience the idea of being “free and playful” with your materials but a little bit more subtly and in my own way.

I’ve begun to start thinking about our next project and what I want to take from the films we’ve been seeing. So far, I’ve been most interested in the use of light and contrast to establish hierarchy of space, which we’ve seen in the Milano movie. This is kind of a build off from my subjective drawing where I used contrast in black and white to create space. However, instead of solely doing a 2 dimensional piece of work I want to expand it into more of a combination of 2D and 3D and perhaps incorporate some sort of installation. How I will do this... I’m not sure yet.
