What is my project about?

I am approaching the project from a strange angle. I have decided to not choose a particular theme and just to go with the random ideas and images that appear in my head. This gives me a chance to take many more approaches which I find exciting and more in tune with my artistic character and the manner in which I work. However, this might not impel a sense of development that would appear with one basic theme but I am willing to see how it goes and take a chance. I hope this helps make my work a little more personal. I have this urge to make everything I do relate somehow to me and my experiences. I feel it has more honestly as a result. Infact, one of my favourite quotes is "The only purpose of painting today is the discovery of lost secrets." This was said by Derain and had a profound impact on Balthus, one of my favourite painters. This signifies a lot about the art I make. If i cannot feel the connection then I simply disregard it. Strangely enough, a lot of the art I made in the first semester which I hated I have know grown to love. I find by living with it for a while I grow accustomed to it and gain an understanding of its abstract nature. I discern that art is something that one must not just look at but live with. So much can be left unsaid if you just view a work for five minutes and then never look again.
