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

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.

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.
