The song I choose for my sixth concentration piece was Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. The song is from the perspective of a school shooter. The songwriter of the group likes writing from the point of characters and wanted to write the song trying to get into the mind of a school shooter. For my piece to represent the mind, I did a geometric background with swirls. The shoes they talk about in the song are the Rebook pumps, so i put the back of the shoes as newspaper, since when school shooting happen, it creates a conversation about the story and about other topics, like gun control. I am not finished, but the rest of the plan is the paint the details of the shoes over the newspaper. Essentially, the newspaper is used for all the white that is on the original shoe, since I didn't want to have that much plain white. Some things I like about my piece so far is the background. It was different and fun to do. I wanted to have the design of the shoes to be more abstract and wild, to just add meaning to the craziness and confusion of the feeling behind the shooter.
