"Float or Sink"

The "Out of the comfort zone" project was presented at school a couple of weeks ago. I have already started working on my exam project for this year, but felt I had to present also the last project here on my blog before I give all my attention to the exam.



"Float or Sink"

Staying afloat can be a challenge, both physically and mentally. The trick is to pick up a form and create yourself from a material able to hold you up. Having flow requires being afloat, but will not necessarily come as a natural consequence of being afloat. Flow involves more movement and energy than just the stabilizing force that allows you to stay afloat. Stability and movement are fundamental elements to move on, being in the water, in life or as a society in general.

I have really loved working with this coal and pastel picture! I have learned a lot about light and shadows, and the color added with the pastel really helped giving the picture the depth and tone it needed to be interesting. All in all, a lot of good learning before the final project of this year, -my exam.
