CPS Week 5 - Objects are not Exhausted - Earth's Pillow !

By Arindam Chowdhury

Theme 

Interact with a non - human object and use its characteristics to interact with the environment

Context

During the cps class, Max showed many different works of artist and game designers who explained the importance of objects and how we don’t recognize in our day to day activity the characteristics of those non-human objects, how they interact with the environment and what connection can be depicted from their act, this gave an idea for me to show my interest of sneakers as a subject of this week's topic

Method 

I used a sole of a sneaker depicted as a pillow showing how commercials of big shoe brands boast their new innovation talking about soles that provides maximum comfort to our feet like a cushion. Illustrating this comfort and interaction between the feet and the earth I started sketching the sole depicting as if it acts as a pillow for the surface too!

Response

This illustration is an interesting way to relate two subjects on how they interact and add value to each other showing a connection which has a meaning to it.
