Integrative Studio 2: Visual Culture/Project Two: Materials into Practice– 14 Daily Works

This project’s objective was to make 14 images that revolve around one set of references, colors and or techniques and to a set of rules within a limited format and color palate.

I was inspired by pictures of food that I took and uploaded on my instagram. I chose this particular subject because I felt like food itself was the best representation of the interaction I have with people in NYC. Whenever I met people, I started out with food. In these seven days of drawing, I set myself with four rules which were using Copic markers, using maximum 20 color palates, selecting food pictures from my instagram, and keeping pictures horizontal. During this process, I was able to learn how markers blend in to different colors and bring new color. Also it was interesting how my daily life pictures could come into one unified theme and transform into a piece of art. One of the difficulties, in particular, in carrying out with this project was using limited colors of markers. I usually like to mix variety of colors but it was hard to elicit the right colors with a restriction.
