This midterm project was an abstract self portrait assignment, where symbols or imagery was used to communicate a personal feeling or aspect about yourself. I chose to try and communicate how I feel the space in my mind where thoughts are formed is and would appear. I wanted to emulate the feelings of an energy field with movement and spontaneity and electricity and light interact.
Learning Outcomes:
With this project I chose to print my designs on translucent paper and learned that while I assumed that my designs would appear lighter in color when printed on translucent paper from the light behind coming through, I learned that they in fact did not need to be darkened to accommodate for this.
