HW 38 - Art Project Cool

`

I thought really long and hard about how to summarize this unit into a picture because i couldn't think of a video that wouldn't be cheesy. This picture depicts a man in a brand name t-shirt, nice jeans and Nike's. Now this man doesn't have head, he is holding it on a string like a balloon and right above him is a rain cloud. These are all metaphors of course. The man is supposed to a conformist by dressing in "fresh" clothes and trying to impress, even when it is raining "insults" on him. The rain cloud above him is his peers making fun of him and picking on him. The balloon is his face and he keeps it on a string so it wont get wet and that it can stay clean because he needs to protect it. But by keeping it on a string he may keep it free of rain, but he also has to worry about loosing the string and loosing his face which is his only connection back to the real world and who he is. This picture may not be the most beautiful thing in the world, but i am not the best artist. I have good ideas but the problem for me is putting them on paper and this is the best way that i could do that. The whole point of art is to be able to get a message across, some people may see it differently then i do. They may get different messages, but what i am trying to get is to get them to stop and think for a second as to what it could mean. Looking at art creates inspiration within people and makes them want to maybe create something themselves. It could push us to think a little deeper within us and pull something dark out and make it light. It may be cliche and admitting it is cliche is cliche which leads to an infinite loop, but the fact remains that just looking at the pictures creates some new thought process. I hope whoever is viewing this can experience that too. That is all
