As creations made for purely personal interests, OCs are an excellent elevator pitch to talk one creative to another, opening up opportunities for connection in a world where communication is at our fingertips but personal connection is increasingly harder to make. OCs encourage meaningful interaction by offering themselves as muses, avatars, and story pieces, and so much more, where artists can have their characters interact with other creatives through many different avenues such as art-making, table top games, or word of mouth.
In this thesis, I explore the worlds and aesthetics of many creators and their original characters through qualitative research and collaborative art-making. I begin with a short survey of my creative peers, asking general questions about their characters and thoughts on OCs, then move to sketching characters from various creators. I focus my research to a group of seven core creators and their characters, whom I interview and work closely with in order to create a series of seven final paintings of their original characters.
The following paper will explore The Analysis of Sorority Interactions & Engagement During an Event for the purpose of Barrett, The Honors College Thesis Creative Project. My topic will be explored as a Creative Project with this document being written documentation supporting and explaining the creative project along with research, reason & findings from the event. The event itself stands for the majority of this creative project as that is where this written report gained & sourced its survey results from. An analysis of the event taking place and the attendees themselves created data into the ever-changing event industry. Specifically, a creative project like this shows the importance of events in everyday life especially the need for events post-COVID-19 restrictions.
