All About Me! - Thoughts Becoming Things, - Isla Garcia, Mixed Media, 2025
This is a short video of the process of making an image for a school assignment, Isla’s first art class homework. Isla decided to assign specific colors to feelings. Isla then described circumstances or things that gave her those individual feelings. Isla then sourced images from personal photos and online references to build a composition by overlaying each color over those images. Once we found the images Isla helped make the overlays by using an Apple pen with the brush, eraser and layer tools on ProCreate.
Red = Anger, Orange = Excited, Yellow = Happiness, Green = Calm, Blue = Sadness, Violet = Confusion, Pink = Love, Brown = Nervous and Black = Fear.
Anger = If someone doesn't listen and keeps talking (online illustration of two figures, one has hands over
their ears)
Excited = Going on trips for fun (Isla burying Papa in the sand at a beach in California)
Happiness = Family (4th of July weekend family photo with Isla, Mama, Papa, Aunt Abby, Jackson, Gracie, Gigi and Grampy)
Calm = Laying on the couch / Looking at flowers and trees (online photo of a green garden)
Sadness = when people are mean to me (online illustration of a crying cat)
Confused = When people say mean things and then nice things (online illustration of a figure with hands in the universal sign for 'I don't know')
Love = Getting to do what I really want to do / watching shows and snuggling (Mama reading a book to Isla on a couch)
Nervous = First day of school (online illustration of a mom taking a teary eyed student to school)
Fear = Getting lost or doing something wrong (online illustration of a upset child looking at a map)
