Artist Statement:
A:
For my final project I will continue my work with my big idea of money. I will explore the various facets that coincide with money, such as poverty, greed, and power. I will be trying to express the meaning of what money means and does to people.
B: The visual strategies that I will employ for my final are those of human emotion, distinctive colors, and possibly the placement of words. Humans designate a color to a specific emotion (red= anger, green = envy, etc.) so the color of money will be incorporated to give off the feeling that the money is larger idea. I fee images of money are too openly giving away the big idea behind the work, but the use of dollar signs or presidents faces is a possibility. Humans connect to each other on a level that other things cant. The use of people in my final project adds a human aspect to the idea of money and how it affects humans every where.
C: I am not currently sure what context I want my final project to be used in. I have yet to decide if I will be portraying money as a good thing or a bad thing. Say I choose to portray money in a bad light I could invision my project in an add about the poverty that stretches across the globe. On the other hand if I portray money as a good thing it could maybe be used for a bank ad.
1) Christophe Huet and Koen Demuynck: Both of these men's works were simple yet still captivating and interesting. They chose simple images to combine and were still able to fully express their ideas which is what I will attempt to do.
2) My struggles with money right now have had a large influence in my final work. I see how having or not having money can affect a persons decisions and life in either a good or bad way.
3) The economic slump that America is currently going through makes me want to explore and express the deep effects money, or a lack their of, can have.
I am not sure what specific techniques I will use on this project but some I would like to possibly incorporate and find cool are:
