The idea for this project in my Designs for Learning Art class is for me (the student) to experience the artistic process in relation to my own life, passions, and inner imaginings. It should be inspired by a transformation I would like to have; personal or professional. Exploring different art mediums is encouraged and documentation of the process is a must…. hence the blog 😉
Here is my project proposal to give some insight into my starting point.
I have always been a people pleaser and found a lot of enjoyment out of making people happy. Though as I grow older, I feel that I am becoming more and more anxious about whether or not I can please everyone. Clearly, that is not possible and I will explore, though this project, how I can acknowledge others’ wants and needs while making autonomous decisions without anxiety.
Another source for my anxiety is approaching the unknown and a fear of failure. This fear has stopped me from trying new things in the past and hinders my ability to be a lifelong learner. So I will attempt to engage in the project by trying something new in a low anxiety manner.
I have not decided on the content of my project and feel that it will come after I have had more time to research and explore my ideas but the process is very clear.
I will begin by using mediums that I am very comfortable with to explore ways to reduce my future anxiety in an effort to transform into an autonomous decision maker and a courageous educator. These mediums will include but perhaps aren’t limited to; sketching, painting, and printmaking. As I become more comfortable with the content, I will move on to something more novel and challenging. I wish to use my process materials to aid me in creating an image or images using photoshop, which is software that I have never tried. Thus, both my content and my process will be addressing my issues with anxiety.
Furthermore, I plan to document my transformation using a blog, which is also something I have never done.
