so I have started on my project for this class and the way people are going about painting is very cool. It's like I'm giving them the same materials and essentially they are painting but their techniques are all completely different. As I observe them it's really cool to see them stumble upon that they can mix or if that is the first thing they do. Favorite colors are certainly playing a big role. And I am seeing some mood correlation. I am excited to see where all of this goes. I have thought about how maybe music in the background would also effect how someone paints and if it directly affects their emotions.
I think I have started recognizing my own creative talents recently. I feel I am starting to get a better understanding for how I come up with ideas. I need to know of the assignment (if its for school) in advance. Like If I am going to have to write a paper on a novel or something, I need to have the assignment before I actually begin reading the novel. It's kind of like what they tell you to do on standardized tests. Read the questions before you read this story. This was those questions or ideas may spark something in your mind. I need to know the assignment in advance this way I can let the thoughts float around in the back of my head until BAM! I have an idea.

I am really excited to hear more about your project, I think it sounds really interesting especially in terms of what we have been discussing lately in class with intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Are you testing motivation at all? And also are you using people you are already considered artistic for this or a wide variety of people with different skills?
ReplyDeletethanks Megan!.. I am not testing motivation, however it is of course voluntary to participate so there is some motivation I am assuming. I am getting a variety of people to get involved and most have little to no art experience. However, I have had a few paint for me who have taken a few art classes and seem very skilled. It's cool because even some who do no paint but are involved in other forms of the arts such as music, paint as if they have been painting for years.
