Section 1: Inquiry Connection
Explanation of the guiding question or concept
Requirements: Inquiry statement (1 sentence), 2 Visual Pieces (your choice) and 100 words MAX
Inquiry: How has the integration of technology influenced human emotion for better AND worse?
Writing: My artwork explores how technology impacts emotional relationships. I aim to depict the contrast between connection and isolation. The robotic and human hands symbolize our desire for connection, while smartphone imagery highlights mediated interactions. Abstract patterns represent unity and fragmentation, and muted textures blend organic and artificial elements, reflecting the emotional duality I aim to capture in my artwork. (59 words)
Section 2: Connection
Cultural, historical, artistic, personal influences with critical evaluation.
Requirements: 2 Visual Pieces (one from each section) and 100 words MAX
Artist Connection Options:
Yayoi Kusama’s use of repetition and reflection symbolizes infinity and emotional depth. Her organic patterns and artificial lights inspire my exploration of technology’s impact on human emotion. (26 words)
Personal Connection Options:
This sketchbook page explores technology's dual impact on emotion. Family photos reflect connection through video calls, while subway sketches depict isolation. Global imagery highlights technology's cultural influence (27 words)
Section 3: Experimentation
Visual evidence of material tests, alternate compositions, sketches.
Requirements: 1 Visual Pieces (your choice) and 100 words MAX
Writing: I experimented with glowing effects using various materials (colored pencils and oil paint) to symbolize technology’s influence. Repetitive patterns represent isolation, while shading explores emotional depth. Oil paint worked better for this project to give shine to the piece. (45 words)
Section 4: Creation
Visual documentation of ideation AND creation of the artwork
Requirements: 3 Visual Pieces (your choice) and 100 words MAX
Writing: Vibrant light symbolizes connection, while muted tones and digital patterns convey isolation and emotional depletion, blending human and digital elements. Thumbnail sketches helped refine composition and balance between organic and digital themes (32 words)

Battery Symbol (Top Center):
"The glowing green battery represents emotional and social energy being recharged through fleeting moments of connection in a crowded, disconnected world."
Figure's Expression (Center):
"The upward tilt of the head and relaxed face convey relief and fleeting joy, contrasting with the surrounding tension."
Crowded Background Figures (Surrounding):
"Blurred, muted individuals symbolize the isolation and lack of communication in a crowded digital age."
Window with Condensation (Foreground):
"The streaked condensation adds a physical barrier, reinforcing the idea of separation despite proximity."
Color Palette:
"The warm tones on the central figure contrast with the cool, muted palette of the background, emphasizing isolation versus connection."
Composition and Frame:
"The subway window framing focuses attention on the individual’s emotions while symbolizing societal entrapment."
Section 7: Reflection
Challenges, successes, and self-evaluation of how the artwork aligns with the inquiry question.
Peer Feedback Form
Teacher Feedback:
Requirements: 2 Pieces of Evidence
Writing: My personal reflection is that I explored technology’s dual role in connection and isolation. A muted palette emphasizes isolation, while the glowing battery and central figure’s expression symbolize fleeting emotional recharges. Peer feedback improved composition and details like condensation. Future work could explore abstract digital patterns to deepen the emotional impact.
