Task 1: Art as Lens
REFLECTIVE STATEMENT
My focus for my folio was my favorite toy as a kid, Bert. I explored the toy through the different lenses investigated in class. For the folio, I have chosen the most successful ones to be able to show my divergent thinking, use of media, and idea development. My favourite toy as a child; Bert is used in a personal context because it has meaning to me from when I was a kid. It was a birthday present, and it was very fun to play with it. I took inspiration from artists like Michael Zavros, who places the subject of his paintings in different positions on the canvas in order to unsettle the viewer and change audience perspective.
