Hippie Artwork

This is kind of a continuation of my last post. (Also, my train of thought is not fluent)

So, I’ve defiantly decided I want to work with hippie style art.  I’ve always thought it was fascinating and unique, and I want to explore it further.  I always doodle mandalas, and hippie suns in the corner of my pages and I want to focus working with this style on a bigger scale.  Some of my inspiration pieces include some of the following.  I don’t intend to copy these pieces, they just gave me an idea of colors, shapes, and mediums I want to use.

 

I’m not quite set on what theme or central idea I want to focus on yet, but I know I want it to be something along the lines of what brings us together as a world.  I want to focus on things we all have in common.  World peace is a super broad topic, and I want my idea to fall somewhere within it to further explore the whole hippie artwork idea.  I just want my artwork to represent something more educated than world peace.  World peace is kind of ambitious, I don't think at any point we fill fully achieve world peace.  So as of now, I’m thinking I want to focus on what we all share. We all share a world, we are all human, we all share the same sun, and the same moon.  However, we all fight, nations don’t get along, war engulfs countries, and death is used as a bargaining chip.  Through my art I want to focus on how do we share so many things, but brawl about so many others? How can we be so similar, but so different?
