This is my piece from class today. That is Mimi the pig who was intended to be a cat, then a mouse and just sort of ended up as a pig. It was interesting creation because I was so unhappy with how the mouse came out that I unconsciously chose to look at it differently and see a pig instead. After I painted mimi, I felt like my creation was complete and gained a sense of satisfaction (even more so when I created the background scene).
In reflecting on the exercise, I came to realize that the scene I created for Mimi was very representative of how I perceive myself. If you notice, I only gave her a little pen to live in and left all of this room for grass. It made me realize that I tend to think the “grass is always greener on the other side." I'm in this messyness of life and looking to experience the other side where, well, it is greener.
