Today the Coofebs got to meet Margaret DeLima. I at first I thought the she will be so intimidating and all business because her writing makes her sound so intelligent but she was inspiring and had so many great ideas. So the big project that we are doing is going to make an artwork of the seven sins and get to auction them off for a charity event. I've always been into charities and donating so I am looking forward to donating my piece and hope to finish it off. From the art works that she has shown us her work seems to come from childhood memories that seemed to be in her mind. But one thing she said really stood out to me and is very true. The power of the art seems to dull well you look back. The fire that has you so motivated to make the art fades after a while when you look back at the artwork. Sometimes it is easier to explain the art after you let the fire die down but when you still have the anger or emotion inside your artwork the art seems to be strong and bold like it represents your feelings.
The idea I have its to make the sin of pride be represented through a puppet hanging. Animals can also represent some of the deadly sins. Like a snake for envy or a seagull for gluttony. So the animal for pride would be a peacock. With this puppet I will incorporate some of the peacock features so it will seem like puppet morphed with a peacock to represent pride. From that the meaning is the this sin can only be control by man and how this sin can not work alone.
