Week ending – 12 December – Time Out

Due to personal circumstances all projects were put on hold. 

Week ending 5 December 2014 – Development Ideas

Studio Practice 2

The Conversion of the audio recording was achieved with the help of tutors.   The sound recordings wav format converted into MP3.  It’s a kinda magic.  

The MP3 audio format conversion cannot be downloaded onto the blog. The technical aspect of audio recording is proving difficult and time consuming.   As the  time plan is ticking I will need to decide on the audio aspect of  project. Tick tock!

Analysis

Development Ideas - Textiles

 Textiles colours, pattern, man made or natural have cultural associations.  These cultural associations trigger :

·         universal memories

·         Unique personal stories

·         Threads of life

Textiles  obvious, visible Symbols links to Barthes Mythologies.   The “everyday" Semiotics.

Textiles – Reverse Applique

Layers of recycled textiles creates a vivid palette.  Reverse applique both conceals and reveals abstract layers of textiles.   The emerging recycled textiles mark the passing of time.  The narrative of changes in textiles recalls or captures memories. 

Evaluation

The final presentation may have more than 1 art work displayed.  I will consider alternatives in  development

Strengths

·         3 d folds conceal and reveal

·         Photographic image – symbolic of identity and memory

 A possible weakness with personal images as this is unique story.

Development Ideas

3 Dimensional Folds Mannequin

The photomontage of clothing created an abstract background. The abstract background was the border frame that gave depth to the composition. The composition layout allowed the viewers eye to rest on the negative spaces by isolating the focus onto the central photographic image.

Textiles - clothing

Baby’s 1^st Hat

·         Evolve memory – a sense of the person and place. 

·         The relationship formed – something of the past in the future-

·         attachment formed a security. 

·         Layers that interconnect universally

QR

A layer of QR audio communication would give a dynamic avenue for the composition.  The audio can be absorb into project and increase the ability to communicate the theme of identity and memories.

Contextual Studies

As the deadline for the draft essay approaches I need to put the meat on the bones of the extended essay proposal.
