EGO THOUGHTS COMPOSITION

[意识]

Below are my selected composition that I narrowed it down. Playing around with the composition and details that symbolises me, I did not forget the design principles which i learnt throughout my whole Foundation 2D module.

Having in mind what i want for my overall look, below are some composition that i selected. The colours used in mostly all the composition are contrasting with each other and it also follows the colour scheme that the Chinese used based on the primary research that I was researching on.

EGO THOUGHTS

Koi fish are a common symbol in the Chinese culture. Many of the attributes of the Koi symbolise several lessons and even trails individuals often encounter in life. The koi symbolises power, energetic , confidence and it also symbolises the ability to fight against odds just like them having the ability to swim against currents and even travel upstream.

 

Drawing and painting the koi fishes before doing composition, the selection of colours for made me play around with the symbolism of colour. certain colours represent certain aspects or outcomes in life.

Phoenix plays the same as the koi fishes. Phoenix in the Chinese culture represents women, confidence of women and the ability to conquer.

After my primary research, I played around with composition.

Below are the composition, not forgetting the colours contrast and also the principle of the design elements.

WHAT DOES EGO MEANS?

“In this question, ego is a noun that means your consciousness of your own identity. Your ego is your conscious mind, the part of your identity that you consider your “self.” If you say someone has “a big ego,” then you are saying he is too full of himself.”

 

Assignment 3 is all about confidence and also the way of expressing myself in a unique way. Am into the Chinese characters and the ideation of how the Chinese culture evolve. Below are some illustrated paintings i did during my process and ideation.

EGO INITIAL PLANNING (Pt 0)

Before I finally found my inspiration, I was having mixed thoughts on what should I do for Ego. Inspired by ink diffusion, i had plans on making my whole ego set with abstract pieces but it ended up with no sub headings to represent me at all. Below is my initial planning~~ playing along with inks, oil painting and also wire bending to show the construction and flow of the overall canvas.
