when figuring out what to create for my
final art project, I kept looking at my
mirror that has been my canvas since
moving into this room. self portraits
were always something i felt more
inclined to draw because of the way
that it makes me observe and transform
myself into art. i think throughout the
process, i've learned to look at myself
differently in the mirror in a way that's
filled with more appreciation and love.
"feel it all" is about getting rid of the idea
that there are 'bad' emotions -- too often
we try to skip through the feelings that are
there for a purpose. this falls under our
previous assignment to create a poster with
a message. my message is to encourage everyone
to give themselves permission to live in the
present moment and feel whatever emotion comes
upon us.
