Obsession/Comfort
​
For Tuesday 4/28 please submit an inspo board composed of images from the list and/or the Powerpoint below and also six strong thumbnails
​
​
Many artists throughout history have known to be visually obsessed, whether their obsession takes the form of a favorite model, a particular landscape, an object(s); or perhaps an imaginary vision, a quality of light, a color, a texture...
What are you obsessed with? How can you make a painting out or about this obsession?
1. Brainstorm a number of ideas: make a list - choose the three you prefer
2. Brainstorm materials, colors, composition, scale: make a list
​
3. Make an inspo board pulling imagery from the list below or the powerpoint
4. Do a series of thumbnails, several for each obsessive idea
5. Commit to one idea
