Just WAW

research

So today i went into Paper Chase for my free coffee and hung in a corner was this circular shapes which i thought would go well with this project of movement and they looked so delicate.

Erin then told me that they were paper pom poms and i wanted to make one, here's how to do so.

Brilliant Ideas - Kimsooja

Eadweard Muybridge

The way that Eadweard shows movement is interesting. He uses a trip wire which tells the camera to take a photo and these are set up along the area where the movement is going to take place. The images come out so well and i feel like this may work well in either my own work or for the 2 minute film.

I also like the layout of the images. He also overlaps the images which give a good effect i would like to try both of these methods.

Research

I am going to first look into Nick Cave as I have looked and really enjoyed his work before, so I feel like this would be a good starting point.

This is a video of nick cave talking about his sound suits and how he came about making them.

He doesn't sketch, the object provoked the idea.

He moves the object around the body till it has found the right place.

The object identified within the piece.

He's a dancer and works with performers.

 'The suits came into being from what cave saw as Injustices in cases of racial profiling. the demeaning of people and of how they look'

 

His work just makes me happy watching it and I want to join in or create something that is as equally fun and playful!

 

While searching for nick cave on YouTube I can across 'Brilliant Ideas' what seems to be a channel about artists. I could watch them see if I can find anything useful.

Launch - Creativity in Motion

The project title is Creativity In Motion.
We are grouped with 2 fashion students and 1 fashion art direction student and myself and Frankie from my course. I am feeling optimistic about this project. I have a lot of ideas already and artists I have looked into before.

I have to develop a piece of work to do with motion and as a group we have to come up with a sub theme so that our groups work relates.

As a group we have to collaborate and create a 2 minute film, an A3 poster and a project summary. Individually I have to create a blog, evaluate each key point, a digital portfolio and create my final piece.
