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.
