Sculpture porject
This project is linked with the metamorphosis. i started off looking at robert breer as he did animation and flip books.website about breer that i found useful
so i started thinking about flip books, its stock motion that changes something or makies it seem like its moving, this could be linked to metamorphosis, which is change.

this is a robert beer peice. its sort of like a a manual flip book on the wall. the veiwer just glides their fingers across to see the animation.

so i wanted to do something like a flip book. i did some research in to them. i found someone who instead of used paper, did their drawings on balloons, lined them up and then poped them.

game concept art

i made my zoetrope! the pictures i designed where inspired by the painting of actaeons death by titian. in this painting dianna the god turns actaeon into a stag , he then gets killed by his own hound dogs. for my zoetrope, i made six cells which i then repeated. i drew a human head morphing into a stags head. i was quite pleased with my draws and the fact my zoetrope works. it was quite confussing to make though.

such a confusing video :(

evaluation of titian work.
so far i am pleased with the work i have done for the titian project.

 

this is my sort of sculpture idea for the titian work. it was based on the painting of  Diana and Callisto. i first started thinking about how it was unjust what happened to Callisto. and how women over the ages have been treated as a 2nd class citizen.

the hands that dangle down represent Jupiter or men in general. it is about them pointing the blame at the women and sort of thinking less of them.

i could of coloured the hands in to make them stand out more. at one point i was debating about using gloves molded into the shape using plaster. but then decided against this an it would of been too much weight for the small piece of wire to support. next time i could try make one to cater for plaster hands, as it would give it a more 3d/real affect.

this is the next part of my sculpture. the bird trapped in the cage is to symbolise Callisto and the unjust that she faces in the poem. i chose a dove to symbolise her purity and innocence as she was tricked. for the cage idea i sort of took my inspiration from Mark Wallinger. his work for the titian painting was sort of don't get caught looking. i like the work her did with Diana in the bath tub. Any way for this piece you have to look in to see what it is.

this is the base of my sculpture , which also acts as the weight. on this i have scribbled words that are linked to my idea of women and i guess the end result of rape. on there is written: baby, 2nd class, result, rape unjust, women and suppressed. over this slab of wood i took a picture of a fetus. showing the baby that Callisto carries.

overall my sculpture was to show the stages of the painting and the end result. in the picture above you can see the the bird cage abit off level. this would be something to improve on for next time. but all in all i am quite happy with my work.

 

 

 

 

3d sculpture

 For the sculpture project me and Isabel worked together. Before we painted it a changing blue colour. it was splattered with paint and didn't really have much thought in it.

this is what it looks like now. i prefer this to how it originally looked. it gives it a more rounded off finished look. originally our sculpture was suppose to be linked into water and water features. so i think these colours are quite appropriate.

This is the inside of our sculpture. i thought it looked interested and could make a sculpture in its self. when the cement got pushed through the chicken wire it created these sort of stalactites of cement.

pschedelic art proposal

Proposal for psychedelic art.

For my essay I want to look into the psychedelic art movement and what influenced it. I started by doing a timeline to find out where psychedelic art came from. For example, the 1950’s teddy boys, 1960’s hippies and LSD. I then looked at lots of examples of psychedelic art. I look at artists such as John Hurford, Stanley Mouse, Victor Moscoso, and Wes Wilson.  Whilst looking at psychedelic art , I saw that it was influenced by paisley design and the art nouveau movement, so I have done some research into both of these.  I have look into the reason as to why psychedelic art was created, the rebellious side that the movement has and the impact it had on society. I really like the use of vibrant colours in psychedelic art , so I have looking into kaleidoscope patterns , because this was influenced by psychedelic art.  I would like to get a look into paintings that are of a total contrast just to compare the differences.

Review on monday 8th october 2012
john's lesson
i enjoyed todays session. the start when we were talking about different stage layouts confussed me abit. but i'll try to get my head around it. for the rest of the session we statred on exploring and producing our ideas.

these are some pictures of todays session. i enjoyed todays session.

about womens rights
history of rights
picture 1 picture 2
picture 3
i sort of want to link womens rights into my work.
they used to get accused of witches
couldn't vote
not equal pay

just thought!!!
that painting could be linked to womens rights!, she had no rights, like women through out history

for johns Monday session
the painting that interested me most was "Diana and Callisto". i don't think it is a painting is one that most people would chose to do.
when i read about the painting, i think it is quite depressing. Callisto didn't want any of this. Jupiter uses his power in a bad way. to me this painting is all about injustice and how people with power abuse it. for this project i want to look in to powerful leaders and the way they handle their power, e..g. Hitler. politics, kings.  the painting is also about trust and trickery , in the way he deceives her.  its all about exposing the true and the consequences of the truth.
when i looked into the work of the three artists that were working on the titan piece. "Mark wallinger" seems to have done some work called state Britain, which is about freedom of speech. its quite an interesting piece, which could be lot of linked to the ideas I'm thinking of
about mark wallinger state Britain
an interesting take on this piece, would be, change the figures in the piece to those of real people. so you could have Hitler, or some one who abuses power as Jupiter. someone who has been exploited as Callisto, and set it in a modern day environment.
i found some interesting paintings by Ruben depicting Jupiter. but there in my sketch book, but its interesting to see how other view him.
another idea i quite like is expressing the injustice through words. one idea i came up with was a sad woman, and you can see the fetus inside her, well the shape of the fetus and then in the fetus some sort of words about injustice.

these are my sketch ideas.

concept art
this is just so examples of conecpt art. it seems to focuse more on the landscape and where the game is played. for my snail game i need to forcuse more of the backgrounds.

this was a quick sketch idea for one of the characters in my game. i useed the layout paper and colour pens. its ok for a sketch , however i wish i had blened it more, i think i used the wrong side of the paper

jupiter was a powerful figure in the paintings. even though he was a god, he does not show  the compasion that is often associated with gods.
