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...

Paint Videos

   Whilst doing some string pulling experiments with watered down acrylic, i filmed how the water acted and the paint mixed as i thought the movements were intriguing and the process of colour change.    In the first video the colour purple infiltrated the blue water i added to the page and as i lifted the page the way it moved, even danced in the water, was really fascinating and unpredictable.    I was using this paint to cover a face drawing i had drew previously using biro. I decided i didnt like it and would paint thinly over to show how the dreamer feels like she is drowning in her own mind. I feel like how the paint acted, before painting over the face,with the two colours was interesting as if they were performing to attract the dreamer before taking over her whole mind. I would like to film more of colours mixing and moving in water. Even though the paint didnt instantly react to the water being added i really like how the two colours of b...
