This is the first completed page for my personal investigation. It's just a simple mood board with a few pictures I found online that gave me a few ideas on how to start my PI. I would love to add more to it and I have found so many more pictures and ideas however, I relied on using the schools printer and due to being out of school because of Covid-19, I haven't been able to print off any new pictures for my sketch book. What I will do is upload all the photos onto my laptop and create some sort of collage/online mood board so I can show you the sort of vibe/mood i'm aiming for in my PI.

The above photo is the Birth of Venus which is the painting i will be interpreting by Botticelli.
The below photo is Samson and Delilah by Peter Paul Rubens which is the other artist i will be researching.
I found this picture on pinterest and it really intrigued me so I decided to paint it myself. I used a canvas board as my surface and used oil paint as my medium. I have another post about the process of this painting (https://aimeeshieldsart.blogspot.com/2020/05/painting-timelapse.html). I think what intrigued me most was the emotion I felt, you can see the amount of pain in this mans eyes. I hope that I will eventually find the original painting so I can read about its backstory but for now I will just interpret this picture my own way. The only thing I can think if as to why the man has a nail in his head, is that this picture is possibly religious? The blood pouring from his head makes me think this could possibly be a painting of Jesus as he wore a crown of thorns before his death. My painting may not be an exact copy of the reference however I am still made up with the outcome as I think it still conveys the same emotions, which to me is the most important factor.
