Since we were allowed to select any topic that interested us, I intended to choose a theme that I could easily identify with. In the end I settled on the 'Emotions' theme. The main reason behind this decision is that I consider myself highly emotional and creating a series of works related to my inner emotions is something I have wanted to do for years. The topic "Emotions" has always been an interest of mine However; Until now I had no knowledge about it. For this task we had to conduct extensive research on the topic. As a starting point, we were presented with a time-out research exercise, in order to explore the topic within a time limit. Additionally, I used the points listed below as the 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 with structure. 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 main aspects of emotions, the physical and the psychological. I analyzed the relationship between the feeling (psychological aspect) and the 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; so I delved into the variety of emotions I possess and how they can be distinguished. From the physical aspect, I thought I would focus...... half of the 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. Therefore in the others I replaced the colors with lighter ones. All in all I managed to achieve my goals in this project. Thanks to this project, I gained much more knowledge about what causes an emotion and why we have feelings. Additionally, I was able to experiment across traditional and digital media to create my final illustrations, which perfectly highlighted the theme.
