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.

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...
