Interior Space
I chose to do my chest because I believed it would be an unusual subject and one that certainly grabs attention. I chose it as interior space because as I looked down my shirt, I thought it would be a great idea for the assignment of 'interior space'. I started with a sketch, and then added base values to I knew and understood the colors, so as to not make it all one color. From there I preceded to get dark values, trying to capture the shapes. The composition was chosen to help the view's eyes lead into the cleavage. I tried to work in triangles in my foreground, middle-ground, and background. The assignment was engaging and fun, and I believe the outcome, was a good one.
Something I believe is underrated is the importance of my hair. To me, it is a very important characteristic about who I am. My short hair helps me be gender fluid. I can style my hair differently and change my clothes, drastically changing what gender I look like. I particularly don't feel that I am exclusively one gender. I like to dress in v-necks and skirts from time to time, but then there are other days that I feel like I want to be more masculine. My short hair helps attribute to both genders, and that is very important to me. Even though not everyone may see that, I know that it makes a difference. I chose to depict this in 3 pieces that display my feminine side, masculine side, and neutral side. They were done in water color, a fluid medium. To me, this was the most sensible medium to convey that idea of 'fluidity'. In the end, the idea came out to be more personally emotional then I had planned in the beginning, but I like it, and I am proud of it.
