The topic for module 4 was gesture and module 5 was collage.
I enjoyed module 4 and 5 because they helped me discover some themes and media which I enjoy using to make art. I found the gesture exercises, especially those with ink, to be very freeing and beautiful. Overall, I think my work from both modules fulfills the criteria and I was able to unlock some creativity in my mind. The abstract nature of the gesture project was difficult at first because there was no specific image I was trying to create. However, I think the end product was successful and captured some feelings I wasn’t really aware of until I drew them. The collage project was also enjoyable because I was able to recreate an image from my eyes as a child instead of looking at a photograph or something more factual. I think I used colors and textures well in both projects. For the collage, one way I could have explored this memory differently would have been making objects larger than real life to imitate how they felt when I was a child.
