I was thinking of what really got me interested in art, which is portraiture. I always really liked drawing and painting portraits of people, but these would all be people I had never met before, or people who came from my imagination.
I’m interested in maybe revisiting my love for portraiture, and sketching the friends I feel closest to after all my years in college, somehow involving the friends I’ve made here.
Other ideas:
– relationships between people: what makes you feel close to someone?
– what makes you feel uncomfortable around someone?
-first impressions
– people posting online vs. their actual selves
– growing up
** UPDATE **
The thing that I’m the most interested in, and want to explore, are First Impressions. I’m not super sure what kind of medium or method I’d like for this particular artwork to be in. I was first thinking of having photographs or drawings of people and then have it be kind of participatory? But I don’t really know clearly what I’d like to do in general. Maybe something interactive so people can write their first impressions?
