Why literature and Painting Go Hand in Hand

reason 1: Deviation

Negative space is used like the positive space in painting. Forexample in cubist paintings, Braques used the negative space like the positive space to give the illusion of a new world of simple shapes in the House at L’Estaque. As shakespeare’s play Antonio and Cleopatra, used the noun boy as a verb of playing in the scene of Anthony accusing Cleopatra of playing with his reputation.

Reason 2: Deixis am Phantasma

Retrospective and prospective memories,the past and the future, are depiction of memories and imagination to create a fantasy world.House at L’Estaque includes observation and imagination.He simplified the complex place into childlike and simple shapes in oblique tension.

The heart of Darkness includes memory of natural scenes and imagination.They were facing fog as if they are burried in a cotton ball.

Reason 3: Visual Perception

Whether an insect scurrying on the lofty porcelain , burried in a cotton ball, an emaciated man or demons in the wilderness, Conrad managed to capture this feeling and engraved images inthe reader’s world. Tension asif the sloppiness is about to drag the viewer in this unsteadiness in the House at L’Estaque.

Reason 4: Emotions

Both Heart of Darkness novel and the House at L’Estaque painting evoke fear and unsteadiness.

Why depression sometimes leads you to art making

11 Aug, 2023

Reason one: Your need to express even when it is full of mistakes. Expression in art has therapeutic experience.

You are proned to expression whether it is color, story, dance ,song , act , ... Breaking rules is not crime to you especially when you are beginning the journey. This journey will give you a vocation and fill your heart with aspiration

Reason two: You embrace all books related to art and self help unlike before

Your library is full of different books .Your shelves reflect your passions .

Reason three: Embodying your struggles with depression in your journals and intention to turn it into a piece of art

You write journals then you decide to turn it into a painting, music , sculpture, movies....Some sort of images and sounds inspire you into different projects.

Reason4: Chaotic thoughts lead you to produce a different world.

Thoughts never end pushing the inner imagination .Dreams, hallucinations,dreams , fantasies reflect the symbolic unconcious.

Reason 5: You are ready to show your works to your friends and family after a long tough isolation.You communicate about your passions.

Reason 6 : depression pushes you to more possibilities and aspirations .

You love your domain but discovered when healing you are more than your expert field.

Reason7 you want to create a shelter away from your study field .

You are studying some tough subjects for a long time and now see you later ,a journey is waiting for me .

Reason8 You need a new bellows to give you the passion of living ,because when you think of your domain , many bad habits you recall.

Reason 9: You feel you have been acting the whole time, because the rough habits you inflict them into yourself and merciless academic regime can no longer work. You need carefree attitude.

Reason 10 You want to be the ruler of your world, bored with following others' rules.

Reason11 you need achievement and satisfaction feelings which raise your dopamine levels and destress yourself. No longer the toil exists on the sympathetic system" fight and flight".Balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems is achieved

Reason 12: Experiencing spirit world or as the poet Eliot says Spiritus Mundi from where your ideas come.

Ways to fill your sketchbook

When researching for pictures through the internet, the visitors have rich ideas to apply.

I found the combination technique helpful and it has two types : two objects into one element ,or pictures combination into one subject.

Example 1:

A sitting girl + creative fish = painting about spiritual company

Creative fish = fish + art tools

It was dated back to my beginning of drawing .

Example2:

Girl + tree= nature inspiration and flow of ideas

Example 3:

Girl + stairs +windows+ door + dandelions +umbrellas= homely affection

Example4

Girl +mountain +waterfall =feminine energy, mother nature

Example5

Living room + fruits= fruitful home

These drawings are produced from google pictures I chose. It is holding onto the walls while Iam a beginner ascending to the desired outcome or the baby steps of crawling before running.

Applying a heterogeneous mixture of pictures results in aesthetic symbolism witnessed by the viewer and analysed ,combined with the real world and life experience. Such an aesthetic experience can make viewers see the fantasylike structure

First , install any pdf viewer or any specialized app for saving books like read era

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.readera

Second, look for free websites that offer books for free like pdf compressor ,pdf coffee, vlog epub, noorbook ...https://www.noor-book.com/en/

While you are searching for books for free you will find many free websites and websites that needs payment.

Donot get discouraged and keep looking for free websites. Write the title of the book and the free website's name, which worked for me sometimes as a shortcut.

Step 1 draw your hand from observation and pictures

And basic shapes

Step 2 : drawing fabric folds from observation

Step 3 still life drawing

Step 4 colour studies of a trees, waves, and clouds as an imitation from artists

waves and hills and rocks also grass are great topics to start with.

Such topics like hands from observation, trees , clouds and waves are simple topics to start with as an imitation like pencil maestro for they are simple follow with.

Proceeding in my imitation , I started with landscape and animals imitation from free udemy

Courses and pictures, and videos.

Step5 See cartoon illustrations and study them from udemy ,allison and any other online resources.

Step6 is from my imagination and my own objects and pictures . When you practise more and read, your imagination runs wild.

These are the first steps of a beginner that pushed me into the next level. Imitation and observation of collected objects like a shell to observe or take a picture of me sitting on the floor and observed some reflection pictures. Hopefully these steps will benefit you as they to me .

As a tip divide your copybook into composition, value and colour theory, perspective, anatomy and facial proportions collecting information from different online resources, books, articles and YouTube. This approach helped me develop my artistic knowledge including udemy and allison courses.
