Exploration Proposal
After already completing an exploration on the way I hope to look into and express corruption in several fields of the world we live in, I have decided that I would find it much more interesting to explore how different the world would be if the way we lived and our expectations of what was happening around us were different. For example what would the world be like if humans weren’t the most powerful force, but flies and other insects were instead or what if we lived in a world where drugs where openly supported and good for your mind and body.

The spray paint will be used to create the background or to give colour to large areas of my pieces. For the detailed area there will be fine liners in use along with smaller paint brushes for the detail. If possible I would also like to explore using air brushes to depict shading and finer details of the subject matter as well as to fade colours.
After looking through different aerosol artists and their work extensively, I have been able to acquire a range of inspirations to show off the way the artists used their spray cans and their control over the can in certain ways to add a 3D
