Final project Research / Ideas

Final project

I started to research and began to think about ideas for my final project that can be relate back to the topic. this is difficult as i see flaws in each idea, and what ever my final idea is it has to be perfect example of my work.Each idea  i thought of was to simple, plain or ordinary. I am looking for something shocking and attention grabbing.

These are my ideas so far:

The development idea is at the top of these image, this would be the development idea of 6 and 7.
Where its about barbie life after ken, there will be bits of the narrative behind it and this is of the many developments i will do. Over the easter holidays i will be developing or adding more ideas into to my sketch book and adding research as well going to galleries such as the matt's gallery.

My Written Brief - Final Major Project

Written  By Paige Phillips 

Final Major Project Title: How Isolation and Victimization can impact negatively on an individual and this in turn affects the group

Progress and Achievement

As I have learnt to use IMovie, final cut pro as well as to make installations (Use the tools to make the piece) and I learnt to print on fabric, so I will try different materials.

Pathway Choice

I have chosen fine art as my pathway a it is set to your mind and what you feel than a product for someone else needs. As well as art is shown as a creative subject that I enjoy, as through my work you see what I feel, think and want in life.

Project Proposal

My aim for this project will be to capture people’s social independence or identity (a phrase I am using to refer to those who have become outcast from society). There was a lot of work I have done on social interaction. I wanted my final piece to include this on a larger scale. The feature that I might include in my project could be reaction, communication, mental health and I will be developing these subjects more.

My work will be based around Installation and video or film but will be look at other mediums. For this to work I will be visiting some gallery’s such as Matt’s gallery and Chisenhale gallery. The artists I will be researching are Mike Nelson, Barbara Kruger, Susan Hiller and others as I work on the project. For this project I will be looking into Installation, sound and videos this are the main mediums I will look at but I might have ideas involving some other mediums.

Also I will be looking at movies, video, book and games for Inspiration and development of an idea. Some of thing I will be researching on are Creepy Pastor, Steven King, Scream, Mazes, Weird or Scary atmosphere and Classic horror films such as Nightmare on elms street, Friday 13^th, Night of the living dead, Halloween, Dusk till Dawn, this one is also postmodern and I will research into these films and the subject matter.

Horror is the sin of isolated, victims and other that I will touch on later in the project. From this I want a dread to go over the view as they see the relation to my work from the horror genre. As I will be looking at peoples social independence affects all parts of their life’s and others that are closer to them. So from this I am going to pull apart this project to give it more of a darker meaning to social independence as I break down the subject.

Evaluation

I will be recording my progression, feedback and my reflective writing within my blog and my sketchbook. I hope you use the horror genre with social independence to create a new sense of independence created by fear, isolation or a deeper meaning.

This is what i have done and now i have to take it down to take it home to finish it off. i also did sowing as well today but did not take picture i will be developing this over the next week or so.

This is the development from day 2 and as you can see inside as well as the out of the teepee you can see different supports, longer legs and less legs.

As i had to extended the legs i used glue and screws by making a halving joint.

DAY 2: Teepee

DAY 2:
I had to redo my teepee and make it bigger (taller) to fit one or more people in it standing. so these are some picture i have taken today. so tomorrow i will put the fabric on it and make it more stable at the top of the teepee.
day 3 will be up later to night or tomorrow morning.
