Over the past week, I have been trying to figure out how to synthesize the four pieces I made into two original pieces that express my ideas behind my head and heart, portraiture and political apathy. For my head piece, I am going to do another portrait in pencil on paper, but hopefully at a larger scale than my past work and with some added content. I am going to do a drawing of my grandmother, who is a really important person in my family and the content can touch on family and aging. I haven't found the reference photo yet, and I am tempted to actually go and photograph her in her house to get a more candid photo.
In regards to my head piece, I think it's challenging to demonstrate political apathy, so instead I'm going to make a piece about the effects of not paying attention to issues and the effect that has on our nation. My pieces from last quarter dealt with climate change and how that effects endangered species and just not wanting to pay attention. To tie these two together i plan to do a collage over an outline of a map of the US, collaging photos of extreme weather events due to climate change in specific regions. To really touch back on the apathy part, I could do research as to where climate change is not believed and alter the saturation of the images or make them black and white.
