Art
When I started these assignments, there was no real goal. I don’t think there actually is any huge symbolic meaning to them at all.
To be honest, most of what I did was pour myself into the art, my interests, my hobbies, my awkwardness, whatever.
And with being basically raised with the internet, and coming to SLA, I have discovered that there are a lot of people like me.
I want to be relatable to these people, and… reach out to them. Make them smile a tiny bit when they see my art. Make them laugh, and cringe in a sort of not sympathy that comes with understanding.
I want to laugh a bit with my friends about that one time I spent four hours painting a pony head and putting it on the ceiling, or the other time I just sat alone in health, and decided that drawing cats was a higher priority than doing actual project work.
I want to be comfortable with myself, which I’m not always, and art makes it fun and lighthearted sometimes.
This is what’s going on inside my head.
