I would like to do a project based around the ideas of emotions. I've been on the emotion thought-train recently, due to my Interpersonal Communications class and a recent project I did for my drawing class.
I wouldn't mind doing images in color, but I would like to explore other ways to express emotions and moods. Like facial expressions, and maybe do a stop-motion video that runs through them. I would also like to explore the idea of using things other than the face to express emotions, like a room or the weather as co-factors to the mood set with a figure in the frame. Maybe some without a figure.
One specific idea I had in mind was a plain background with six figures - all the same figure, all wearing different colors of clothing, to represent the ideas of the six primary emotions as defined by my Communications textbook: fear, anger, sadness, joy, surprise, and disgust. And facial expressions to match. I could have my model wear a white t-shirt on a black background so that I could color in their shirt. The figures would be collaged together so that they are in one frame.
I could also explore the idea of showing no emotion at all. Like, someone being surprised at a party and they didn't react to the attempted surprise.
