Emotive Color

I will be documenting my process for an upcoming abstract piece from my Creative Process class at Langara.

We are to choose an emotional state. The emotional states I have chosen are the following: growth, shock and explode. This is my first real attempt at really trying think on an abstract level and its not been easy.


My word association:

Shock

• lightening bolts
• speechless
• wide eyed
  
• in horror
• confused
• striking contrast of primary color on black
  

Growth

• roots
• expand
• viral
• natural/unnatural
• mutation

Explosion

• ordered chaos
• clouded
• painful
• unnatural
• aggressive

Texture and color has not been thought much of at this point. It's been more or less trying to visualize what these words could interpret. I feel however that I am still going too literal for the translation.

Progression Shots

Shocked V1
Explode V1
Explode V2
Growth V1
Growth V2

So far I am leaning more towards growth than the others.

Open your eyes. Our very existence depends on it

11th HOUR ACTION by Leonardo Dicaprio
Such a great documentary, reasuring but very scary. The welfare of life, all life depends on us. Our generation has to focus on a self sustaining way of thinking and the removal of consumerism. The change to a more Environmentalist ideology. Our home, the only one we have is fighting a parasite, we have forgotten our way and we all need to stop look at a much bigger picture. It will be life changing either way.
