In order to allow the audience to see the world where “Journey to the West” takes palace, I’m doing research on the jade empire.
The Jade Emperor and who resides with him in the Heavenly Palace
I want clouds to move and float to cover the palace and the landscape but once the user moves their mouse the cloud will float away.
They will look something like the three pictures.
I plan taking inspiration from the forbidden city in Beijing, China to create what the Jade Palace would look like.
There were some art pieces in the museum that I enjoyed and some that I had a hard time relating to. Some of my favorite artists are Yun-Fei Ji and his large watercolor painting High Noon, his piece is related to what I am trying to do for my BFA but my work will be a retelling of a novel with a lot of Chinese folklore characters. I love how he depicts the characters, the compositions, the colors, and the lines and how much energy the piece has. There wasn’t a lot of pieces that were similar to how I would like to project my BFA but I already knew how I wanted to present my work already.
Yun Fei Ji’s work
Lastly visiting the Gallery was also a nice experience and I’ve learned so many things from Condessa Croninger, she made the experience extremely enjoyable and I loved her high energy personality. I’ve never thought about the differences between galleries but because of Croninger, I learned so much on how to make a good impression on Art Directors and basic manners to form a business between a commercial gallery. Carrey was also extremely nice and the advice she has given was so very helpful and motivating.
