For this month I've been focusing on creatively expressing myself through different mediums, other than Digital Media, where I typically spend the most time on. I plan on painting more often so I can familiarize myself with some basic elements, because I feel that I have a weak foundation with Fine Arts. After I cross a few more Digital Media ideas off my list, I'll be making a bigger shift towards painting and sketching.
As for meanings, each work is usually inspired by its own message. I don't often find myself creating multiple works to express the same purpose, since creating something tends to expel whatever I'm feeling at that moment. It will be a challenge to paint with a predetermined idea, since I tend to work from my immediate thoughts.
But, I may find a balance in between spontaneity and purpose. What I can do to meet in the middle is find inspiration via a topic or concept I'm familiar with and branch off from there. For example, I absolutely love Dadaism, and I could combine a concept with elements of Dada.
Here is a (2019) Mock-Advertisement I created within the realm of Dada:
Moving forward, I'd like to involve paint in addition to outside elements, to create an assemblage of mixed media. This is a goal for February.
Until then,
James
