Hey There, Here's What I'm Going to Do Here

My last chance at art in college is coming up fast. Next semester, the rest of the senior art majors and I will have our senior shows in May. The show is part of a required class at St. Olaf simply called Senior Studies. Since I'm not sure what I want to do, but know that I want it to be very involved and well researched, I'm going to start now. This blog will become a place where I brainstorm. I'll still try to periodically post other stuff here as well, but I hope next semester I'll be able to focus all my creative energy on this one project.

Very rough list of some things I want to do for Senior Studies:
-Turn the stuff I think about and draw about in my sketchbook into a fake religion. This is the core of the project.
-Focus on developing my vocabulary of characters, objects, and symbols rather than do something completely new
-Spend time looking at the aesthetics of religious art from all over the world. I hope to in some cases directly reference religious and iconographic art in my project.
-Learn about the current and past relationship between these three things: religion, marketing, and art. Anyone have book suggestions?
-Make the final project a spectacle, not just a set of drawings or prints.
-Stickers
-T-shirts
-Digital Prints
-Drawings
-The work will be personal, about my own experiences with religion
-The work will be about video games
-The work will be about religion
-The work will be about politics
-The work will be about mass media

That's all for now. I gotta hit up the art supply store right now and grab a fresh sketchbook.
