"" Day 10
I drew the theme "sleepy" with the medium "oilpaint." I considered doing a self-portrait of me with a tired expression, but I would only have four STAC days to finish this project and the Bad Art project, so I discarded this idea. Next I thought of painting a scene that would make the viewer feel sleepy, or else make the scene from the POV of a tired person. It seemed do-able since the painting wouldn't have to be perfect/I could go about in a more abstract manner so I went with that idea. I started painting the STAC room with green, since green is a relaxing color, and I suddenly remembered a strange dream I had a few nights ago, in which my senior year of STAC was filled with awkward disco music and a discoball tinted the whole STACroom funky colors. With this dream suddenly divulged, I decided to incorporate a dream aspect into the painting. I painted in a discoball and a few dream-like biomorphic shapes based on the people and objects in the room at the time (I admit that the biomorphic shapes were based off of my last STAC art project and the works of Yves Tanguy.)

"" day 8. I drew the theme "old" with the medium "pastels(?)." Since I recently finished "infant" and "filmstill" I was in the realm of objects taking on human qualities. This led me to the idea doing a pastel picture of Tsukumogami, a Japanese concept in which objects are granted a soul after 100 years of service. After a bit of resarch to refresh my memory on the qualities of a typical Tsukumogami, I got to work. I took a picture of objects at the table I was working at, for reference, then started drawing the scene with the objects looking as they were. I also decided that I'd only use the colors avalible to me in the pastel box I chose. After drawing for a few minutes, I realised that my relationships were off, but didn't want to start over because I liked the way the waterbottle came out, so I switched to drawing with shapes and finished the normal picture. Then, I erased parts of the objects to make room to include living features.
