Uncurling Video

   I wrapped this piece of paper string round itself really tight then let go and watched it uncurl. I was first intrigued by the triangular shape created when it unwrapped and how it jumped up. Overall the unpredictable shape it creates all together. I could re create these shapes in other art pieces as i found the action of the development interesting. To me it shows the mind of a daydreamer bursting out and taking control.
    I took this photo of the string afterwards. I wish i took a few more photos at different angles as this doesnt show how the string has popped out due to take the photo from above. I really like the uncurling shape as it reminds me of the tunnel in Coraline, which i view as depicting similar things to daydreamers as at first she chooses the "fantasy" world as it is more fun until she realises the other mother wants to keep her trapped there as a ghost. I really like the shadow around the edges of the red as it is incredibly dark and the looming shadow is quite subtle until the end, showing how it slowly takes over your mind.

Paint and PVA Glue Experiment Continues

      Using the same mixture i used for the second net experiment. I dripped the paint on the acetate. It looked really beautiful when it was wet, especially how the colours mixed and moved together. Unfortunately i lost the detail slightly as it dried. The colours became more dull and the mixture was weak which showed once dry. There is still really nice sections like the yellow turning green in the blue and how the blue crosses over to red. Unfortunately, some drips broke when pulled up due to the weakness.    To improve this i will make a stronger mixture and build up the drips with layers so they are thicker.    I decided to use a different PVA glue which worked really well with the paint. However, i used it differently so didnt find out if the first PVA glue was the mixtures problem. I poured PVA glue onto acetate which had some yellow and green print marks on. I did this as the glue picked up the colours on the back. Then i painted on the glu...

Mark Making

    Earlier this week i was doing some spray painting and using a plant pot to stand the object on. Once i had finished i discovered i had created lines on the pot that faded out. I fell in love with the bright colours together and lines they had created. The way the colours faded out together softly into the natural pot reminded me of the ideas i thought of when on the Island of Spinalonga. The ruins and bare bricks with brightly painted colours over the top, or dancers in colourful skirts. Spray painting could be used to create movement in the skirts.     I wanted to focus on mark making and using basic small materials such as string and tape. Using a yellow highlighter, i created random lines on the page and added some small pieces of tape. Then using a piece of string i lay it down creating loops mimicking the shape of a dancers body. Using charcoal i scraped it over the page. I aimed for the charcoal to cover the highlighter but it still showed throug...
