Art: Searching for inspiration for Time Painting

With the theme and chosen sayings, I proceeded to look for inspiration. I went online, on google images, and used my chosen sayings and the word Time as the key words/phrases for my research. The following images are ones which I would like to base my painting off of. Each or two images represent one of the chosen sayings. The sayings are indicated alongside the corresponding image(s). All images belong to the artist who created the piece, but it will not be always indicated because I might not know the artist and/or the exhibition it belongs to.

Art: Brainstorming for Time Painting


For art, my classmates and I were assigned to do a painting. Although we were to not simply paint an object such as a bowl of fruits, but paint a theme. After thinking and throwing ideas around with a friend, I finished with three possible concepts; time, corruption and the natural illusion/phenomenon of rainbows. With those three ideas I wrote and drew up my first brainstorm of my painting (refer to the 1rst photo). This basic brainstorm allowed me to eliminate my subjects from three to one; time. With Time as my theme, I then proceeded to make a second mind-map/brainstorm (refer to 2nd and 3rd photo), which is not complete. This brainstorm has allowed me to decide that I will be painting six smaller perspectives of time, based on common sayings such as Time Flies. The mind-map is not complete for I am in the process of searching for references/examples (paintings, images, and artists) to visually base my painting off of.
