I CHANGE MYSELF, I CHANGE THE WORLD

Thoughts Are the Shadows Of our Feelings-

Thoughts Are the Shadows Of our Feelings-

But the simple things never stay simplethey take root in our minds and grow and infect...

I realized that a majority of the time when I responded to the prompts. I started off describing the images I’d created very literally and then continuing into a more metaphori-cal interpretation. This style stayed consistent throughout my freewrites. I also found that many of my writings had very similar underlying themes concerning change in people and also the inconsistency of who we want to be and who the world around us makes us into. The visual creations we made had a larger impact on my writing than I would’ve expected. After literally describing the image I’d created, I went on tangential trains of thought and found symbolic interpretations that connected to it. My writing helped me both connect my image to the prompt and find my perspective and opinion of the original prompt on a more under-the surface level. I really enjoyed doing the prompt of “Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings...” because at first when I read the prompt I didn’t really understand it. Then I began drawing the first images that came to mind and connecting them in odd ways. Then in my freewrite, in my explanation and elaboration of the drawing, I developed a more esoteric and profound understanding of both my image and my own perception and attitude towards the prompt. My favorite material was the acrylic and canvas because the color combination and the way they blended or contrasted clearly defined a mood or an attitude.I took risks in my pencil and charcoal drawings by creating very nonsensical and surreal pieces that goes against my more rational mind. I experimented in my writing with free-form and unstructured poetry, which in general I’m unfamiliar with and generally dislike. My images as well as the writings I created demonstrated my risk with unfamiliar mediums and styles. Both my writings and images had consistencies in regard to their formal qualities. In my images, I always created a main, center focus and added smaller minute details that emphasized and directed the focus to the main, larger objects. For example, in my Solitude vs Isolation art, I made one leaf the center of my picture, and drew swirls around it to em-phasize that the leaf was the main object in the art. In my writings, I found similarities in the structure of my freeform poetry. I stuck with a short line scheme and focused more on syllables than on rhyming. Conceptually, I talked a lot about how we’re constricted by the rules of society and contrasted the duality in human personality. I also talked a lot about how things change as time goes by. The mood of my artwork was consistently somewhat depressing and melan-choly which I showed through my dull color tones or very analagous colors. I consistently used more blues and analagous colors or concentrated on emphasizing with black and white.
