For my term project I plan to make an assortment of paintings and drawings. They will all be a continuation of my previous work in both mediums. I am used to painting large abstract pieces with many layers on them. That work is mostly inspired by Willem de Kooning even though I am not working primarily in abstract figure painting; my stuff is conceptually leaning closer to pure abstraction.
The other kind of painting I plan on doing is shifted more towards impressionism and it will consist of portraits and figure paintings.
As for drawing, I plan to make a series of made-up fantasy maps. Like abstract painting, this is something I have been doing for years. The archival lore and stories to be found in a simple birds-eye view is very gripping to me. It feels as if the viewer can change the context of the maps history to fit whatever they enjoy the most. That's why map-making has always been fun for me and the time it takes is rewarding.
Since there are nine weeks left in the term I plan on having four of any of the above options completed by the end of week 5 on May 2nd. One of the in-progress pieces is very large which is why it's not six or ten completed works. Each week I plan on doing progress checks with the pieces that aren't done. For the second half of the term I will do the same thing and by the end of week ten I will have at least eight projects done by May 30th, some of them being between 3' by 4' and 5' by 6'.

This is very exciting! I am curious after seeing previous maps of yours how you will push the envelope with your next project
