Imagery x Embodiment
Angela Zheng How can I incorporate satire to capture humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule through the use of animals? Exploring artists like C.M. Coolidge and Lucia Hefferman, led me to the idea of using imagery to appeal to the human senses and connecting human-like features onto animals. Using my experience with the pandemic and online classes, I created a piece where animals are shown attending class on Zoom; not only did this piece allow me to show the animals embodying human activities and features, but it also allowed me to incorporate bits of humor to the individual animals. Throughout my 15 artworks, I experimented with mainly colored pencils because it allowed for precision and control of details. |
