Identifying themes

What inspires you?

Going to exhibitions and museums and talking with likeminded people.
Usually go to a museum to look at a specific artist that I like and immersed myself in.
things that make me feel emotional - Story of war and families … etc
Old films and media
The personal life of someone – documentary, biography...
Internet – looking at intriguing designs, art, posters of other people/friends
(fashion) magazines – look at how they compose the layouts with human figures
Graphics from the 1900s ie. Bauhaus, swiss style, pop art and constructivism

What do you find interesting/fascinating/important?

Story about inequality, misogyny, death and loss, war, sentimental things from the past.
Important – the message the work tries to convey
IMPORTANT ps. - less is more (always go for less and stop trying to overfill)

What do you like to observe? What do you like to experience?

I like to notice things like patterns and graphics on the work.
Notice colors and combinations and understand how it catches attention
If graphic piece – understand and observe how well does it communicate the message
Painting – looking at brush strokes, light scattering, textures and folds on a cloth..
Looking at compositions of a work and take a picture for later reference

Which artist/designers are you interested in and why?

Which artists do you know in your discipline, what are their themes?

Barbara Kruger – consumerism, materialism, feminism, female injustice, female reproductive freedom
What is conceptually and intellectually challenging to you?
Deep context – politics of other countries, social issues of my own country
(I want to know more about my own country issue, but I find It so difficult to understand)
Thinking of 3D concepts – sketch 3D or blender 3D
Making playful or shallow ideas – humorous concepts (I always go more dark themes)
Trying out different graphic styles – ie. Post 1900s style
Using illustrator adobe - I want to try but look too overwhelming
