At the start of the week, we were given our new briefing for our graded unit. We must choose from a list of topics on what we want our project based on. The topics are : Home and Displacement, War and Conflict, Natural World, Ritual and Commemoration, and Technology and Systems. I do plan to experiment with each topic, however I have decided that the main topic I’ll be focusing on is Home and Displacement.
Currently, the world is going through a pandemic, with a virus. For safety, everyone has been confined to their homes. When given this project I had been in the house for nine days straight. When the I saw the topic Home and Displacement I immediately started doing visual responses.
I personally I’m not a angry person, but of lately have felt frustration build up. At the time of these drawings I felt very angered and frustrated at the thought of not freely being able to leave my house and go anywhere. This was a new feeling for me because I wasn’t angry at anyone or action, just anger and it was the first that I really drew how I felt, so it helped me in over coming that.
I instantly drew a clown. I feel clowns have always been a fascinating being, due to them being always happy and when you see them sad it is uncomfortable, since you expect I more positive vibe from them. I feel connected to a clown at the time as I didn’t know how to respond to the angry I felt at the time.
