The first picture is of my eye that I used a mirror to help position it. I photoshoped it so that only the colour of my iris is seen while everything else is desaturated. The next photograph is of a drawing I did; the words display feeling and emotion. I added the shading around the perimeter because I think it gives a sense of darkness closing in.
Reflection: The reading I chose to reflect on my creative act this week is A Way of Writing, by William Stafford. This reading talks about his creative process towards his writing. I believe that creativity is an individual and unique trait. My creativity is persuaded by my environment and experiences that I undertake every day. This past week has been a hard week on me and sometimes I feel alone, even though I am not. My act reflects my emotions; I wanted to convey a deep and perhaps dark imagery and bring words for others to understand on a different level. On page 617, Stafford writes "...the world remains always ready and deep, an inexhaustible environment, with the combined vividness of an actuality and flexibility of a dream. Working back and forth between experience and thought..." This quote reinforces my idea of how our creativity is brought out through our experiences and environment that we are involved in every day.
