Dance

    I was able to go to a dance class and take photos of the dancers dancing. I wanted to do this so i could focus on their movement, primarily the movement of their skirts.
 Luckily for me, for this dance they wore brightly coloured skirts. I got some various photos of the skirts movement when walking in different directions and spinning. I really like the photos where the dancers held their skirts and moved them in motions that captured a circular shape; the shape looks very interesting as it shows a vicious yet delicate movement, and each dancers was unique.


       It would've been useful if i could have made the dancers try certain poses or movements that i wanted to see to be able to draw from. However, i plan to do another photo shoot dedicated to this so it is more in the image that i imagine in my art.Additionally, having another person to take photos from a different angle would have helped as i moved around i missed opportunities of planning good angles to take photos. I am also hoping i will be able to do this photo shoot again at a ballet class as the more delicate type of dancing and stretched poses would be interesting to draw, as well as suit what i am imagining more in my image.

Crete: Drawings

    I took a sketchbook with me to Crete, on the plane i doodled this out of boredom. Using coloured pens i created random patterns and lines to draw out the front of a girl. Then using black Biro i added outlines and scribbled her hair and over onto the back of the page. To me this shows a process of turning boredom and negative emotions into creativity and art. The scribbles become less and eventually turn into the colourful patterns before fading completely. I really like the idea conveyed in this drawing, however i dont like the basic cartoon style as i think it shows my lack of drawing skills. The whole piece looks like a doodle and a bit messy. Especially with how the scribbles come out of the hair. I think recreating this with paint would create a better outcome. Instead of patterns it would be a strong mix of bright colours that is faded together like a light cloud. Compared to a mix of black and grey at the back with drips and harsh lines. I could also add some delica...

Final Piece Pt.2

  I used the artificial flowers and broken glass to hang from the ceiling. I wrapped them in wire and used a hot glue for more support. I hung them from hooks with the long spike flower in the middle as i view that one as the most poisonous as it does not deceive the dreamer by looking colourful. Its just hidden amongst the other flowers. I wanted to hang these from the ceiling to act as a dream catcher. The broken glass represent the sharp barrier the dreamer makes to protect them self from the anxiety in the real world.      A friend of mine said that the installation looks like a waterfall which i thought was interesting due to its sharp nature. Additionally, how waterfalls are peaceful and feed the plants around them as water is needed to grow. In the term of dreaming the waterfall could represent triggers that feed into the daydream. To develop this i need to consider a way to conceal the installation to create a barrier. I could use purple or blue fabric th...

Paint Pouring on Flowers

      For my final piece i bought artificial flowers to use to create a dream catcher to hang in front of the wood canvas. I decided to use artificial flowers to convey how dreams are not real but also how a dream doesnt die for a manipulative dreamer. I chose the spiky flowers as well as i remember seeing similar plants in Crete that i took a photo of. This plant doesnt look gentle, welcoming even. It difficult to touch showing this guard that the dreamer put up to protect them self from their day stress.    I decided to pour paint on the flowers in the same colours on the wooden circle to represent the emotions of the dreamer that take over their reality and create their dreams. Originally, i wanted to pour paint on them in a way where the drips would dry whilst falling from the plant. However, i did not have the resources to make that happen as well as decided it would be too heavy on the plants, covering them too much. Again i wanted the blue and purple c...
