2 weeks of fun!!!
(and hard work, of course;))

ENGAGING- that's the word I worked with for the two weeks . During the first week we got familiar with typography- the endless possibilities of presenting the words! That's what we were asked to do as well- present our word using typography only (illustration was introduced in week 2).

I got really engaged with the project ;), thinking laterally  not literally ;) and here comes the result, or the resultS I should say......

All the letters have different size, texture, feeling, smell, taste, look, make various sounds- very enagaging! 







The second idea - a game that a viewer is engaged with







Old school,  game- like typeface

paint-ed

It's been really tough 2 weeks but really rewarding at the same time! 
I've always loved looking at the paintings- in galleries, museums or books, and when painting at home, always found it relaxing, almost like meditation. During these 2 weeks we spend in the studios doing painting exercises, I've learnt a lot- about painting but about myself even more. There were good times, satisfaction and joy but there were tears, frustration and anger as well.... Painting will always be close to my heart, I'll always  see it as something free and spontanious. And I'd like to leave it this way, as my escape...
