Proposal A:
for my assignment I want to do a body of works - digital paintings - about the exploration the subconscious of dreams. Dreams are a big part of psychology and I want to give a visual to the dreams people have. I'm very interested in this topic because of my interest in psychology as well as the supernatural/imagination, these two things collide in the subconscious of dreams. So I wanted to try and make a mind map of ones subconscious, it would be like a landscape with the dreamer in focus.
"Dreams are disguised fulfillments of repressed wishes." - Sigmund Freud
Other ideas I had.
Proposal B:
1. For my assignment I'll be doing the works in photoshop CS6 and use the tablet, after using the tablet and photoshop for a long time I have a good handle on how to use it. With photoshop I will mostly be playing with the clipping masks, masks and layering of the project, when it comes with what i need to learn however the only thing I need to focus on is making the full art piece in photoshop. I will be showing this piece on my blog and my art tumblr.
2. The concept of my desired works is to show a representation of dreams, focusing in on the idea that dreams are repressed wishes. So for my art pieces I want to represent wishes of a person in almost like a clutter scenery. I will be using different objects - like an oscar to represent a failed acting career - to show the wishes. I'm trying to show the ambitions of people and failures, just the trials and dreams we have as humans - an analyzation of human psyche.
3. Trying to pull in a bunch of different objects and make the picture cohesive will be difficult as well as trying to perfect my style of digital painting. Working to communicate my idea successfully I will have to run through many thumbnails to get a proper idea to things cohesive.
4. By keeping things away from the center and having everything off kilter I plan to almost make it seem like you are walking into this dream scene.
5. Inspired by alicexz's work (http://alicexz.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24) and several books I found within the library about dreams.
6. 2-3 days on thumbnails for both pieces, color treating/scanning 1 day, line art of first work 1 day, base 4 days, shading 4 days, filtering and clean up 2 days. - repeats (doesn't account for other class time)
