Thesis 2: Reflective five-paragraph essay 1

WHERE AM I WITH MY THESIS:

My Thesis has changed quite a bit since the beginning of the semester.  Originally, I was going to do an interactive installation on climate change and now: I have decided to create a series of paintings with projections that abstractly depict the different stages of my personal growth over the years, as well as, depict my personal relationship with nature now and over the years.  Each painting and projection represents how I’m changing, how my views are changing and how my moods are changing. I will always have a bad day but I will also always have a good day just like the weather. I, as well, will always continue to change just like the weather.  My Thesis consists of three paintings and three projections.  The projections are manipulated pictures of places that I consider home during different types of weather.

I think, so far, I’ve had some success with my painting; however, I don’t think I’ve had success with my projections, as of yet. I definitely need to do some more trial and error with my projections which I am doing this week.

 

PRODUCTION/TECHNICAL PLAN:

For my Thesis, I plan on having my work in multiple locations/shows at once.  So realistically, I will probably have only one painting and projection of some sort for the DT show.  It will consist of a 6′ x 5′ painting that will need to be hung on a wall and then a projector projecting different images/videos/animations directly on to it.  You can see a video of one of my paintings in a previous blog post!
