Today towards the end of class Alan talked about how the universe exists in our heads. This got me thinking of how I view the universe un my head. One can try to break down everything in the universe into categories, such as plants, animals, humans, water, organisms, etc., but I found that list never really ends. So instead of trying to decipher the whole universe from what i make of it in my head I am going to post some of my paintings. See, I belive that whatever ends up in my paintings are the best representaation of what I think, and how I interpret my environment (and everything in it). This being so, somehow how have created the universe in my mind end up on canvas. Does that make sense? What I am trying to say is that if the universe exists in your head/mind/brain, and what I paint/draw comes from the same place, then how I define the universe comes accross through my paintings. Ahh, that is still too long.
What I paint is how I see the world/ univers. This is what I mean, just look below,this is the world according to me.

Nellie, you are an amazing artist!! Are you an art major? I hope you're using your talent to its fullest potential!
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint you Amber, but I am a Criminology major. KInda weird ha? I am thinking of having a minor in studio art, if that is possible with my major. That is what happens when both sides of your brain are dominant.
