In most studios there are paintings in work, windows, usually a lot of space, a small mess, many artistic tools, and in a few a ladder. I think that artist often have many project going at once, which explains for the mess, variety of tools, art work incomplete, and the small mess. I think that artist have windows and plenty of room so the creative is not captured in a small dark room. It would be difficult to think creatively and of new ideas if you are constantly trapped in a small room looking at the same thing everyday.
In the slide show, we saw how art work can be related to the artist's studio. For example, Alexander Calder, he make mobiles that seem to be flying, and his studio is on top of a hill and has huge window. In a way, it feels as if his studio is flying as well. Many artists accommodate for their disabilities. For example, Frida Kahlo, her physical "studio" disappeared when she was bed-sick. Her art often showed symbols that represented her situation.
When I look around my "studio," which is my bed room, I see a lot of pictures, bright colored pillows, an open window, and a rather large pile of clothes. I like having a large window and bright colors, because I do not like feeling trapped in my small room. I like the feeling of a room feeling open, free, able to breathe.
