Since we were allowed to select any topic that interested us, I intended to choose a theme that I could easily relate to. Finally, I opted for the theme “Emotions”. The main reason behind this decision is that I consider myself very emotional and creating a series of works related to my inner emotions is something I have wanted to do for ages. The theme “Emotions” has always interested me. However; I had no knowledge about this until now. For this task, we had to conduct in-depth research on the topic. As a starting point, we were introduced to a time-out research exercise, to explore the theme in a limited time. Additionally, I used the points listed as a basis for my research. The first step was to research the essential elements and functions regarding emotions. Subsequently, I explored the psychological, cultural, political and moral aspects of emotions. To help me generate ideas for the final project, I used various thinking tools, which encouraged me to think deeply and helped me think more in a structured way. Each of the three thinking tools used during the process allowed me to generate 3 different concepts. My final concept revolves around two of the major aspects of emotions, the physical aspect and the psychological aspect. I analyzed the relationship between feeling (psychological aspect) and reaction (physical aspect) because I have always found it fascinating how we tend to associate emotions with body postures and facial features. Each emotion is represented differently through our bodily functions; that's why I studied the variety of emotions I possess and how they can be distinguished. From a physical perspective, I thought about concentration... middle of paper ...... different characteristics taken from the different emotions presented. For each illustration, I placed a watercolor background to create some texture. Two of the illustrations depict my sister happy and elated. These emotions are quite similar, which is why I used the same person to represent them. After printing the first illustration (yellow), I realized that the colors were too dark and the final image became less understandable than I expected. That's why in the others I replaced the colors with lighter colors. Overall, I was able to achieve my goals in this project. Through this project I gained much more knowledge about what causes emotion and why do we have feelings. Additionally, I was able to experiment with traditional and digital media to create my final illustrations, which perfectly showcase the theme..
