 This is an updated version of my Project. The center focus of my project is hair and the creative expression/ free will that is has to offer. Also the cycle of hair, which can include the clue of hair growth, the cycle of creating a hairstyle, and the cycle of learning to love you hair. I decided to stick with an abstract/ sketch book theme. I still have some work to do on this. My whole process so far has been nothing but trial and error. It was a lot of starting from scratch. In this piece, to create a more abstract piece, I used an actual piece of art that I made that was saved in my phone, and I like the look that it added to this piece. I will begin to work on iterations. I went home this week and the wifi connection here is a little wacky so I will try to post another update. 

 I decided to give my original theme another try. I want to do something more abstract since none of my images really correspond. I also want to add water, however, I don't think that I would be able to get a clear shot of water, so I may end up finding a brush to use. I am just going to continue to try things out until I find something that I actually like. I feel like I go through this phase with every project. 

 I initially chose images that dealt with black hair care, however, I struggled trying to think about something that I could do. Looking at the examples shown, every person had things that pertained to nature. I recently had to go out of town, and in the car, I started to snap photos. So far, this is what I have with the photos I snapped. In the beginning I accidentally cropped and moved the lid of the cup and I immediately thought of a drink spill. I did not take the picture of the drink spill because I did not know how I could possibly do that, one because I do not know how to and two, it would have been super messy. I don't know what I want the outside of the car (looking out the window) to consist of just yet. I am still testing things out.
