Defining Fun Theory in my own wordsTaking various human natures like curiosity, the need to complete things, a necessity to be captivated, etc. and applying them to different tasks of everyday life to make them more interesting and motivating. What could be made into Fun Theory?Walking the dog can sometimes be a bit of a mundane task when I'm low on energy, or just in general sometimes. I thought about around 3 years ago when me and my dog Willow went to an event for a shelter. We went around looking for abandoned dog bowls scattered all around the lake and pretended it was a treasure hunt. (Not an actual photo from the lake) Willow loves squirrels too much. Whenever she sees one, she starts crying with excitement, and always wants to run up their tree. I thought about her relation to squirrels and looking for various things, so I decided once a day, to test our short memories and try to find things I adjusted, like some unsalted peanuts for the squirrels or pinecones, and we'll see if they touched them. Willow would let me know with a vigourous sniffing session of the pinecone and nuts.

On a first note, I'd like to say that I'm so glad that I know now who made the piece of paintings with just karate chops- I had seen the video many times throughout my life, but I never knew the story behind it. I feel finding artists with disabilities (like me) is something that I need to always be able to acess and see in my life. I was inspired to do something with my own mental illnesses and disabilities that was probably out of the box, like my drowsiness from anemia. I'm slowly developing a purposefully sloppy style- because I might as well fall asleep while working.
His story was amazing, and I did relate to his struggles. The way he created art and still does now is, like I said, very inspiring still. I made a gory vampire bat for Mrs. Schumann's pumpkin painting contest. I entered for scariest, and tried to make it look that way!
Then, I painted on the eyes and the wide mouth that would be impossible for even a flying fox to own. I also added a better outline for the scars with messy lines of crimson red. I added on ears as well, that looked kind of goofy. I put on a nose that would pop out, representing bat's weird noses With this I OBSERVED, thinking about gross things that would usually be on a.... rotting corpse. In this case, I thought of a few referenced and looked them up so I could be able to blend in and balance between weird and creepy.
Next, I added the wood chips from the pumpkin's stem onto the scars with a hot glue gun. |
