SB3 Persons of Note | Starter Task

To kick off the new brief, we were given a *~mysterious~* new task where we had to pick a famous person and make an image that portrayed them, without their face or any type.

I started making notes and I immediately froze up, all the people I could think of were just of personal interest and I was worrying that no one would care about who I picked? Basically group tasks really stress me out.

So I think that really blinkered my thinking and as a consequence, my outcome was a bit naff. But it's only a mini thing…don't worry..don't worry…

I had loads of people in mind, but in the end I just went for making a picture of Yayoi Kusama. Bold, striking, and colourful.

Even though at the time this task made me want to vow to never pick up art materials ever again, I suppose the point was to think of how people can be depicted through symbols, motifs, moods, objects, etc, and not just through their likeness.
