Project VII: Mental Scars

 The human mind is a complicated organ, it has the ability to use a defense mechanism to keep a keen remembrance of negative emotions and memories in order to defend itself against other equally negative experiences - it adapts. Strong negative words, sounds, memories can lock itself into the brain and create a new person, someone different than who they were before. Abuse does this; all forms of abuse do this.

Project VII: Personal Research

Excuse the eraser.

Project VII: Personal Research & Thematic & Style Development

Through the use of a bit of medical knowledge, observation, and curiosity in order to show others how verbal abuse can affect the human psyche during and after such experiences.

Project VI: Breathe

Project VI: Cool or Warm Color & Unity & Variety

I decided to show the breathe of winter through the imaging of a girl going out and exhaling a breathe of air to show how the frost captures it. A breathe of magic through a child's imagination.

Project IV: Ocean in a Jar

Project IV: Space & Complementary, Scale & Porportion

My idea is to used everyday objects (a jar, some paper, glue & etc) to create the ocean in a jar, or to use creatures or ideas associated with the ocean to create a night light jar for my niece. She loves the ocean, and she loves the stories about mermaids and pirates, but she doesn't enjoy dark very much. I hope she'll appreciate the gift.
