Doll Movemnt


    I hooked some wire to the doll and spun her around in front of a light to create a shadow. The movement of the doll was difficult to create a smooth, constant spin due to not having an easy grip on the wire. To fix this i need to make the wire more stable and hang it from the ceiling. I was intrigued by the shadow on the wall as it is not of a solid form and thought it would be an interesting way to show the dancers in the singers dream. For instant using the canvas painting of the singers face and creating shadows to dance across it. Furthermore, i would like to pour paint on the felt dancer and let it drip to show how the dreamer has succumbed to living in the fantasy.


    I used the felt dancer to attempt a mini final piece idea. I hung the dancer up using wire and held a plastic circle above her. Then i proceeded to use wool to wrap around the circle to create a cage. I found this difficult to keep clear and think it would work better using wire then weaving the wool between the wire around the doll. The wool represents rope that would wrap around and have paint poured down it. However, before considering this idea further i would like to try it with wire.

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...
