AP piece 2 process 1

 Media: acrylic and painting board Principle & Elements: perspective, shape, pattern, color Process: brainstorming and thumbnail Idea: Kitchen is a very ordinary setting, a place where we will be at almost every day. Since there are no much difference between the kitchens in different houses, one abnormal sized/shaped object will be easily detected and shall make the viewer feel weird and uneasy. I choose to stretch the dining table out while all the other parts of the kitchen setting stay mundane and regular, and turn all the chairs backward against the table in order to create a feeling of strange and unknown, which unknown creates horror.

 Sorry this is not done yet because I started over, I will continue to finish this over the weekend. Process: When I actually start to paint this piece, I realized that the original composition was not the best plan and does not deliver a sense of horror. So I decided to start it over by painting the canvas with black acrylic paint with some texture. I also redesigned the composition, making the bed extremely small instead of extremely big, because small beds tends to make us feel more uncomfortable. Media: the media I use has not changed, acrylic throughout. Element/principle: I added the element of shade to express the light in my painting.

  Media: Acrylic painting Element/material: composition, color, texture, perspective Idea: Bedroom ought to be the place where one feels most comfortable and secured, but it is now distorted and creating a sense of discomfort. Also, everyone’s bed is basically all organized in a same/similar way, so an unusual way of setting up bed makes it easier to trigger the feeling of unease. Process: brainstorm and thumbnail
