Inspirations!

I always get inspired by looking at really old photographs. Such as I love seeing the different styles, trends, and how people acted. You can often tell someones personality by a photograph and I get different ideas through them. People in general inspire me. Often i find myself "people watching". I go and sit somewhere and just watch people.I get inspired by seeing how each person has a different personality and the way they talk and present themselves. Music also has a big impact for me when I'm working on an art project. If I work on something while I'm listening to pop, or rap, or r&b or something, I can't concentrate and i loose focus. I love listening to songs with meanings behind them, that you might not understand the first time you hear it. Regina Spector really inspires me. Her style of music is very different, and unique. I consider her a music artist because she has a certain style of music and she makes it her own. I always get inspired when I listen to her. Such as the song Music Box inspires me, because the first time you listen to it, it might sound weird and different, though when you listen to it again, you realize that she is actually putting herself into her song and making her voice as a music box. I think what inspires me the most is people because everyone is so different and they always give me ideas whether they realize it or not.

  1. Nice job Amber. A lot of people are inspired by music... a lot of artists especially. I hope that you can continue to "look" for things that inspire you in unexpected ways. Keep it up!

  2. Amber, I agree that Regina Spektor is fantastic (she's my favorite singer) and i think she's very inspiring. I also think that watching people, while it may creep those people out, is a very good thing to practice so that you can study how people move and interact with one another. it'd be a cool idea to base a project such as figure sketches based on that.

  3. I love that you and molly love Regina Spektor so much, as do I! You were the friend who introduced me to her music:) Also, the old photographs and people watching are very you, I love it. It's cool to see how similar music really inspires different people!
