In project four, I would like to explore the idea of digital painting on top of recent film photos, create a digital art scrapbook. In many of my art history classes, I have learned about the divide between folk art or crafting (such as quilting and scrapbooking) and high art or fine art (which encompasses painting, digital art, sculpture, etc).
In exploring this divide, I would like to create a project that includes both aspects of digital art and crafting. Recently, I decided to develop some film photos that I took over the summer and fall, which included birthdays, summer days, and quarantine activities. In choosing these photos to create an art scrapbook, I am trying to meld the past with the present, or in a way create a sense of nostalgia. This project will be primarily done with the programs: photoshop, illustrator, and Lightroom. If I had to summarize the theme of this project in three words, it would an abstracted family nostalgia.
