Perspective

 In my perspective project, I took it as how people look at their world and what their perspective is on life and the world around them. Before I started this project, I asked people how they read: LIFEISNOWHERE . The majority of people said that it read as, " life is no where" while some small children and one classmate read it as, "life is now here". so in my project, I could really find out who's glass is half empty or half full. 

 I chose to just write the letters together in block letters so it was easy to read and wouldn't take away from the idea of the viewer to not really think about what they are reading, so that it's more of an instinct. A lot of people that were reading it would say, "life is no where" and then try and correct themselves saying "life is now here" trying to decide what they wanted to say or not. However, I always looked at what they said first when I asked them what they saw in my art. I chose to paint it on wood because I liked the texture and how "lifey" it looked. 

I chose to use the gradient so people who read it as "life is no where" had the element of black but then people who read it as "life is now here" had the green to represent life and balance it out to where one color wasn't causing an impact on the viewers' decision and thought process. Towards the end of my project, I noticed the wood had a shiny element to it so I sanded everything that wasn't painted so the letters would pop more. 

What bothered me about this project is that after someone would read it in whichever way they thought it was meant to be, I told them what the other option said also, and they would say, "what is the right answer?" There is no "right" answer. There is not one specific way an individual should think about life. There isn't a certain outlook everyone should have. Everyone is different and has gone through different things in their life to get them to see the world in their own way. Everyone has their own perspective on life and that's what gives the world diversity.
