WEDNESDAY

I drew using both pen and oil pastel, combining both elements I've done yesterday.

I felt much more comfortable working this way, as it gives me much more possibilities in working with both of the materials. I also felt much more calm while drawing these comparing to last few days. I realised that I am starting to be able to draw without hesitating first.

First drawing is a combination of the figure I did on yesterday. I still find this posture interesting and fun to draw. I added colour later on, just going with my instinct.

Although the posture it self is not a positive figure, the colours created the overall drawing to look more bright and don't give any dark feelings.

I think this is because I know that I am now struggling about this project, but also know that it will work as a breakthrough to make something better.

This drawing itself contains too much colour that made the drawing out of place. It is quite hard to decide where to focus on, and the mood of the drawing is also hard to understand. To make this drawing better, I would put more focus on restricting colour, (not use too much green) and blending.

The next drawing I've done was a dog. I was actually surprised that I chose instantly to draw a dog, because animals are what I don't draw often.

I personally think that this dog looks more like a doll rather than the actual dog, and a bit emotionless. Dog is known for giving unconditional love to others. I watch videos of dogs quite often to feel happier. It could be that I was looking up to the existence of dogs, how they make people happy which is also not exactly the same but close to my goal.

I think this drawing is quite successful as the subject is very clear(dog) and the atmosphere of it is bright but also a bit mysterious as the dog does not give the audience clear emotion. And that contrast is working well, I also think the composition was successful too, by drawing the dog the bottom left of the paper, leaving the space giving the presence of the size of the dog. However, I don't think this drawing is giving the audience any emotion, so in a way, it is not successful working as a drawing of 'transportation of emotion'

I

This is a drawing of a chimney with smoke coming out from it. The colours are all warm and bright, I also find myself being relaxed and happy while I was drawing this.

I think this is the drawing that looks the most child like drawing, and it would be hard for the audience to guess the drawers age. The symmetrical composition is very simple and basic, the choice of drawing the chimney is common for drawing too. However, I like how there is no other information added other than chimney and it gives the audience to think about where this chimney might be at.

It is quite hard to know if this drawing is giving emotions but it would be interesting to work on this drawing more by using this child like composition, and paint it with oil paint.

This drawing reminds me of a picture of a baby in mothers stomach or a cell. I think the reason I drew this is quite similar to the reason I drew a dog. The mother gives the child love and teach them to live. Similarly, because my goal is to create a therapeutic change by giving answers to the viewers about their unconscious emotion, so it connects to the reason of drawing this figure.

I find this drawing expressing the most, and think this is the most powerful one comparing to other drawings.

This drawing would be the one I would develop further on, because I like the shape of this cell-looking. I think I will recreate this drawing by painting using oil paint, so that the colour blending and the texture would be more slimy and wet. With the colour, I would keep it like this, using pink, yellow and orange (warm colours) but focusing more on putting focus on red and purple.

After doing art therapy drawing/painting method by myself using different medium, I realised that I would not call the works I’ve done “forms” of my unconscious/emotional state. My unconsciousness and my emotional state changes throughout spending each day of my life so as the viewer who will see my work.
