When I was searching for what to recycle I found old polaroids that did not develop. I thought about what I can do and decided to paint an abstract style with black and white acrylic paint. So that once it dries I get to use a pop of color. Since I already owned paints and some brushes I got crafty with no real idea but just letting the paintbrush do its magic. The technique I use when painting abstract is not allowing myself to create an image in my head but have an aesthetic for shapes, lines, and dots.
My choice of medium and recycled materials to create this piece did influence my experience for the art piece because it was new for me to paint on a polaroid. It did have some challenges since the surface is glossy. Yet, it was fun and entertaining because I did not need an initial picture to start the painting process. My first idea was to show an abstract painting and I was able to convey that through my piece. Its main message is to let go of things you cannot control and just let things fall into place because everything has a solution.
For the following is a series of responses to the duration of each activity such as a marriage, a meal, a kiss, a work of art, and a human life. Marriage should last as long as possible if its a healthy relationship for both partners. A meal should last as long as it takes the individual to eat. Human life will last as long as it should. To set a deadline on life is not real, there are different paths that a person can take that will give different sets of outcomes. It depends on many factors that cannot determine a deadline that works for a majority.
The way we experience things is unique to each person’s perspectives. The sense of ephemeral artworks and human lives that have a finite time does make a difference in how we experience them. If we have an acknowledgment that it is our only chance to experience the time with a person or once in a lifetime art we become greedy. This greed is projected on how attentive we are in the present moment. We stay involved in whatever the experience is because we want to be able to say we did it. Since experiences become our memories we as human beings tend to cherish these moments better. These kinds of connections are what make life full and powerful.
Things like clean water, air, and land should be sustainable but since we destroyed its natural state it becomes a product to be extended for long-lasting water and air. Even though it should be long-term sustainable to ensure life. One person can start the conversation for Climate Change but it takes union among the people to make a global difference.
