The Spring 2012 ArtCore Studio project is entitled “Color My Dreams”. The students are exploring various subjects and imagery of dreams (such as flying, falling, loss, happiness, safety, etc) , all either positive and/or negative. We are conveying this imagery through the use of projections and artworks created by the students to be set up as a “dream-like” environment, inviting the onlooker to step into their dreams.
The students have chosen to create imagery of nightmares and dreams. Colors that are associated with both the positive and negative are explored through sculptural, 2D, and video work. Warmer colors, such as red and orange, are associated with nightmares, and cooler colors, such as blue and purple, are associated with dreams.
The video projections created were made to represent dreams being projected from one’s mind. There will be an area for the audience to lie down and view some projections, as well as on the walls and various objects. The students will also be creating shadows on the live projection screen, over the video that was made earlier of them doing the same thing. This is meant to create a sort of “dream with in a dream”.
