So yesterday I still hadn't done my creative act, but I was thinking about what was said in the lecture about the artist wanting to escape this reality and live in their own. And I was thinking about how everyone lives in their own reality anyway, since we interpret the world privately inside our own heads, and how that gives reality to thoughts and ideas that exist only to ourselves. More literally though, I thought about, if people could choose their realities, their physical realities, how they would shape them and inhabit them. So I thought I would draw my own.



I used chalk pastels, which I had never done before, and I found them quite a bit easier to manage than oil pastels. I drew in layers, smudging them lower layers, and leaving the upper layers be, which is what I normally do with pastels, and I think it came out nice, the colors were what I wanted, and the figures were automatic shapes, because I thought I should throw in a more subconscious interpretation of how I look at people.
