I chose to combine Raven from the TV show Teen Titans and Eleven from the Netflix show Stranger Things. Both Eleven and Raven are outsiders within their friends, and both have telekinetic powers. While combining them I wanted to keep the character overall mysterious as thats Raven's signature trait, but incorporate Eleven's weird 1980's fashion. I also chose to change Eleven's hospital gown into a superhero-like suit like Raven's, and keep her head shaved because that was a very strange thing for a girl to have in the 1980's and was a defining characteristic.
Claude monet is one of my favorite artists in terms of his use of color. He is known as an impressionist painter, creating landscapes with large loose brush strokes. Monet uses many soft muted colors to convey his lights and his darks while still giving a clear sense of value. His use of color gives his paintings a calm and serene tone. I would hang his paintings in my house because I think their color and unique brush patterns are beautiful.
After watching stakeout and color me Katie, I found that they were two very different people. In "stakeout" the artist, Deb, would place objects in public places and watch how people interacted wit it, usually baiting them with something to prompt them to interact. The stakeout felt more about gathering data and analyzing it artistically. Color me Katie was very much the opposite. She wanted to interact with people and make them smile by doing performance art or taking a picture with them. Katie also did a project called Brooklyn thought bubbles where she would create thought bubbles with an image inside and wait for the right person to walk by and snap a picture of it, this was also done with shadows. I think that seeing the way an artist observes says a lot about who they are as a person and how they want to express themselves.
