Sewhat

Here is what i have made for the cat walk Sewhat. I loved making it and it was the easiest thing i have made and i did wish that this is what i had made for my previous project, metamorphasis but if i hadnt of made what i did for that project i wouldnt of thought of this. 

This is simpally made from circles of wire with material glued to it, with a whole cut in the middle so i could put it on or get into it. the bottom 3 hoops are made the same way but are held up with elastic. I have made the top hoop elastics like suspenders (i think thats the name) where they are hucked up around youre sholders and the other 2 are attached to the top circle.

The movement of this is wonderfull and everyone loved it but wearing it just is completly different. 

Bellow is a photo of the bottom of this costum with the head of my previous work. the onlt thing that doesent work with this is that there is too much blue it needed  the orange to comeplete it and make it stand out that bit more.

Sewhat getting ready. I decided that because my head was being shown with this costume i had to make it become apart of it. i rmeebered that the alternatove miss worlds had big hair so i asked if someone could make it stand up but to one side. 

Once i ahd done my first walk my hair had flatttened and wouldnt stand up so i asked the same person if they could sort is and this is what happened, i think it looks better and bigger. 

The next problem was my face. What to do with it? My idea was to do over the top drag make up but none of my peres thought it would look right because its not a drag act, someone sugested shapes or a shape painted on my face and to be fair it doesnt look half bad.

Final touches! 

I thought about adding things into my hair to make it bigger and  we had made some springs and so they went in and they added to the look. 

Here is the video of the whole run that i had asked someone to record for me. 

Revisiting the 1920s

Surrealism

2 manifestos one made in 1924 and the other in 1927 both created by breto 

Dada was an influence for surrealism 

Surrealism was first mentioned in 1917 

A video called les mamelles de Tiresias (the breasts of Tiresias) is where the name surrealism first came about, the birth of surrealism.

A man okayign a woman with boobs.

20th century art was taking the mess about boobs and arses 

International Paris exhibition

Vladimir mush - a surrealist artists who creates work now but it out dated that time has passed what relevance has it now? 

design ideas

i have hand drawn some designs that i could out on some t shirts and here i have put them into photo shop then on illustrator i have added them to a t shirt template. from a distance i like them but I'm still not sure. i think i need to draw out some more ideas and then try doing this again. out of the 2 i have here i like the 2 toned bunny ones either of them. 

tablet drawing

Doodling on my tablet I created this little penguin and I have decided I wanted to try and use this image as  a t-shirt design.

Logo ideas

on my tablet i have tried out different ways of writing wire line or line wire, either the full names or the 1st letter of each here are some of them. 

Logo?

when i was thinking about my logo i stumbled across these on the internet and thought that if i could create something simular but not as complicated it would work really well 

water colour paiantings

i decided i wanted to try and paint an idea i had but i could only find my watercolour's so i put into google watercolour paintings and it came up with these and some simular to this.

i really like how they all drip so i am going to try encoprerate that into my painting using watercolour

idea

some or most people hate seeing other people hugging or kissing in public so i had the thought of having 2 people hugging or kissing in public and it having a sensored sign over it.

 

its kind of no one can feel emotion in public, so i could do the same with smiling, frowning ect.

the late 50s hamiltion produced this work and in the 90s was asked to remake this art work but for the 90s

Mind map

So that we can all decide what we want to do and where to go with the installation and my ideas. I have decided to stick with the feelings idea with trying to make someone feel a certain emotion so I'm going to have to research into what makes you feel what, different smells ect.
