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.

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...

DDTK Canvas Painting + Light

         I looked into how light changed the painting on the canvas. I discovered how the light shone through the back, losing the colour in the paint and showing rough brush strokes. The sections of the face that look incredibly light added a sense of loss of form as if the dreamer wasn't really in solid form and disconnected completely. I found that by moving the canvas away from the light, the painting faded similarly showing how the dreamer loses their identity and becoming a ghost.     I also took a video of the light moving in the reflection of the glass, similar to how the light reflected in the plastic frame of the film. I really like how it moves across in a line as if it is wiping the dreamers mind clean. I also like how the gaps between the glass breaks up the line sectioning it yet when looking at the video overall the eyes blur that line into one showing how many things influence dreams, building it up until it overtakes the drea...

Crete

  I found Crete to be a very beautiful and peaceful area. It had a range of picturesque places, that were colourful and soft, as well as run down areas that i found interesting as it shows different compositions of objects and textures. I found myself quite drawn to rough materials, also bright, solid, colours and patterns. This photo i took of the mountains, from the view of the hotel, i found to be very breath taking. The sun was beginning to set creating a soft gradient of blue to pink. To me the mountains dont look real as if it was a backdrop for an old film. With the mix of delicate colours and long distance helped to create a satisfying feeling for me as it appears completely artificial.    Additionally, this photo, taken in the city of  Aglos Nikolaos, of the sea has an incredible strong blue colour creating the majority of the background, making the orange flowers stand out brighter. The colour blue brings a peaceful feel as the photo appears o...
