project 1- digital painting

So for this project the fruit I finally decided on is an apple. The reason I chose an apple is because 1. it is one of my favorite fruits and 2. it is one of the only fruits that comes in different colors. so when i started brainstorming ideas for this fruit the categories I decided on were color/culture and shape/history. I chose these categories mainly because I wanted to work with culture and history. When culture comes to mind regarding the apple the first thing i thought of was apple computers/ipods. I thought that this could be something fun to work with. Then after thinking a little more about it I thought about "the big apple". I think that this idea could be fun to work with. My ideas lead me to apple buildings and sky scrapers etc. As well, I thought of sleeping beauty where she bites into the apple. Then with history the first thing I thought of was adam and eve. I thought that this could be an interesting idea to work with. The categories of color and shape are giving me a little trouble. My ideas for color is to integrate yellow green and red in some way (since those are the three colors apples come in). As for shape, i was thinking of doing something with the bottom of an apple since it looks somewhat like a star or cutting an apple in half where it looks like an infinity symbol.
As for my process, I am a photography minor, so I plan on taking my own photos and integrating them into my project.
