Pretend play & magical thinking

TA-DA!! It's a princess!! WAIT! No, it's a binder. What is it?

You see the princess or the binder? I applied surrealism to this binder. Now the binder is alive and became a princess!!! Surrealism means "super-realism." It allows simple objects to transform into something alive. My inspiration came from all the binders I have in my room. I wonder what I can do with binders. I chose to transform the binder into a pretty girl. 

I chose to use a white binder because it seems pure and pretty. It also portrays a lot of space. The "girl" have a few positive space. The eyes, mouth, and tiara are examples of positive space. The "girl" have a lot of negative space because her "face" is bigger than the facial features.

Twist & Sketch

 I went to the supermarket and I looked around. The first thing that I saw was the fruits and vegetable section. I walked around there and the vegetable wasn't very appealling. Maybe because they are mostly green. I moved over to the fruit section. I really like fruits, so I picked fruits. Some of the items on my list were: apples, grapes, kiwi, oranges, pears, pineapples, strawberrries, blueberries, starfruit, watermelon, banana, peaches, plum, melon, and cherries. There are so many different fruits and many varieties. Some fruit might have different forms as well. I really like the fruit section because it is very colourful.

For the sketch, I picked strawberry, pineapple, and watermelon to sketch. I chose these fruit because I like to eat them and they all have very different textures. Strawberry have the seeds on the outside which makes the outer surface bumpy. The pineapple has the spikes outside which makes it very rough. On the other hand, watermelon has a really smooth surface even though it looks bumpy. They all have different colours as well.
