Pilgrims, Native Americans, Turkeys, and Pie!

Well, I have absolutely no idea what I will end up doing for my final portfolio project.

BUT!

For the purpose of this blog response, I am going to propose something that I may try to do. I was thinking I could make a comic strip, including a super hero going through all of the main themes that the units have presented in this class. Since it is our last project, I think it would be nice if I could make it into a real book, not just a single sheet. I could get more accomplished and make it a more thorough account of our experiences in New Millennium.

As for the work that matters to me, I am just going to pinpoint some of my most recent inspirations. I enjoy all of the different art forms, but lately, I've gotten inspiration from Japanese prints, specifically Hokusai. I am working on a project in my fundamentals of fashion project, and these Japanese prints are acting as a huge inspiration for the color palette and the silhouettes of the sketches. Music is important to me as well. I recently found out about a nineties band, US Maple, and I've been intrigued by them for a couple weeks. Perhaps somehow these things will influence my final portfolio project !

Have a good Thanksgiving, everyone! I will not see you in class because I'm leaving early!!
