My Breadth Pieces

For my concentration, I would like to focus on human expression. This theme is quite broad so I can include a number of different ways to show this. For instance, I think im going to focus on different people, I can portray a student through their facial expression or through what they do and how they express themselves. However, like I mentioned before, I think I want to incorporate a pop art kind of element to my pieces as well, so this can be shown through vivid color, and the color will be chosen based on archetypes. Through my pieces I want to portray the different stereotypes and archetypes of different people of different classes. The significance of showing and expressing different classes will illuminate the fact that we are all one human race despite the barriers that we humans have created between us.

-EDIT- Since my concentration theme deals with forms of human expression, my selection of media will differ accordingly. By human expression, I not only mean expression through emotions, but through various outlets of exposure;exposure meaning the way in which one reveals oneself to be, the way in which one portrays one's life. For instance, one's status in society.

-EDIT (feb.11)- Concentration statement: The face of mankind is based on one interrelation—human expression. There are many ways one can express oneself, be it one’s feet, or one’s hair, almost anything can reveal the life we produce from inside of us. To this expression we owe our thanks because this is what makes a human a human, and thus differentiates ourselves from the mechanical future that lies ahead.
