As
a class we were told to think of something that meant a lot to us as it will
need most of our attention on it without being bored. To me, cats are one of
the most important things in my life. To even break it down a bit more, my own
cat, August means the world to me. I even refer to him as my literal child even
though that's 100% not possible. I'm pretty sure my future will consist of me
being a crazy cat lady with 15+ cats in my house. I'm not sure why I have a
connection to cats but I can say it started at a very young age. Possibly when I
got my first cat Petrie? I have no idea. Growing up my life was just cats. I
collected items that resembled them, referred to them, just anything. By grade
6/7 age, I had so many things I had to put them away and my "obsession"
died a little bit. I think I feel close to cats because I know they can't judge
me as a person aloud (like sure they can talk to their little cat friends and
whatnot) but this makes me feel comfortable around them. When I’m angry or
stressed out I find myself talking to my cat, just to talk about it, even
though I know I’m not going to get a response it's nice just to talk. Cats are
also sensitive to vibes people give off, believe it or not. Depending on the
person, if a cat senses they are sad they will go to them and comfort them. (Cool
eh?) a known fact is that 84% of women with breast cancer said that their cat helped them through the disease. A cats comforting is shown to lower blood pressure. Like this cat that soothes the baby to sleep.
Alright
so for my series now. I plan on using three different materials. Sculpting,
painting and some form of graphic design to be printed out. For sculpting I
want to make almost a realistic sculpture of a cat sitting down. The shape of
it should be pretty easy it’s just the details that might be really hard.
For
my second piece I would like to do almost a series painting itself of four
components on different canvases.
Similar to this but different position and more features. |

Using this image
almost as an outline I'd like to recreate it as it is simple, yet complex. For
my third piece I would like to do something that is considered as graphic
design. Something where I create one image in the original colour and then either
make duplicates digitally or by person in different colours. I think this would
be a really cool thing to do.
With this style to it but only four squares not nine. |
I think my three
ideas are all very different and easily fit into the theme of cats. :)
