I focused an entire final project around this song, which seems to be the theme song to my life. The piece itself is entirely matte black and mostly texturally focused, I refer to it as a self portrait. The assignment is meant to be narrative but my objective was to narrate my exploration in pattern and texture, not so much to display a literal "narrative" or convey any color theory. I'm taking a color theory class already, I felt it redundant in my process of self discovery (artistically speaking). My professor enjoyed this concept and referred to it as an "anti-narrative", I was explaining to him that I really want to play this song during the critiques on a loop or have headphones available for interested people to listen to so they could feel more connected to it . A girl in my class interrupts us in an annoying tone to ask "What's an anti-narrative?" This is coming from a women who's last piece was a pastel drawing of a fairy wearing platform boots sporting a trap stamp tattoo framed by vines, you know, real classy. The only thing missing from her piece was some Tori Amos lyrics and it would have looked real nice on some high school girl's binder.
I'm in the midst of finals week, final projects are due. Picture this for a mental image of your average art student: I'm covered in black paint wearing headphones and listening to The Brainbombs outside, I set fire to the piece to create the effect I want. I'm sure my room mates stood looking for own window thinking, "oh Rebecca". I will post pics of the piece later.
Anyways, I love my broke art student life. It's filled with live and creativity. I met my soul mate in my digital arts class, too bad he's gay, he's like "Oh Rebecca if only you had a penis..." and I'm like "I'll go F to M for you!". How I love my fellow Capricorns, we're so superior than all the other signs in the Zodiac. It's amazing how many kindred spirits you come across when pursing your dreams. I go out by myself and I feel good, my attitude is "stag life" I've got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one.
