For this project I’ve decided to go with Latvian folk tales. I chose this approach because I was born and raised in Latvia. The folk tales always interested me when I was younger. My ideas for this “theme” were mythology, but I wanted to change it slightly as a way to explore my culture more. My ideas are still being generated; however, I’m thinking of bring the folk tales to life in my own style. So far, I’m unsure of which artists to use as my country doesn’t have many artists that interest me. For the artists, I’ve looked up two who’s work interests me instead of relating to my specialism. My two current artists are Helena Lose and Silvija Treice. I intend on mainly using digital art and hopefully test out animation. I will also try my best to do a watercolour piece which will be based on the art I’ve seen in many folk tale books. For other research I asked my mum for opinions on which parts of Latvia and its culture would be the best to choose. For a final outcome I’m hoping to do a digital piece or even an animation of a character.
