TARGETS PARADE

1. I want to expand on my costume design ideas by using different materials to cut & paste such as I could use newspapers, magazines, scraps of material, etc.

2. I am going to use digital technology to develop my costume designs by editing photographs of my already made cut outs. This way I can easily change the colour of the costume without spending time cutting out all different bits of paper and I can screenshot the development of ideas.

3. To make sure I think about what materials I would be using if I was to be actually creating the product
4. Look into Futurism

PUSSY RIOT

BAGHEADS MISS ALTERNATIVE WORLD

Saul Steinberg
I came across these masks which I thought were really interesting. There's something I find scary about these masks, I can't point my finger on what it is about these but they are oddly scary.

CUT AND PASTE

Whilst working on the cut and paste task I began thinking about the expectations of woman and how they had to do all the household chores and stay at home whilst men would work and have more of a social life. Men would look down at women. My nan was in an abusive relationship with my mums biological dad and it hits home on how men was and still can be.

I find it difficult trying to be automatic I kind of prepare what I am doing, luckily I don't plan out every step. What I do try to do is think about is the arrangement of the images in what they mean also if I start with black and white photos I feel the need to continue with them and don't introduce other coloured images. So far I like what I have done but I want to add more without thinking about what it will look like too much .

UPDATE: I had a look on the computer how my blog looked and I saw the photograph of my work in big and I actually really like how it looks. I kind of like how minimal I made it but I believe I should add a few other images on but finding the correct pictures to use is important to me.

AGHHHHHH! Reading through these articles and information I find it so difficult to take it in and understand. I'm struggling and it's really frustrating trying to find the information I need. As soon I here or read what it's about I will feel like an idiot because I will remember it.

POP ART THOUGHTS

Whilst watching a short video about British pop art I felt really excited. I feel as if I should have been alive when Pop art was born. It felt so out of the blue Allen Jones come out of nowhere with his sculptures. I think his work is great with how many questions can and have been raised, whether they are about women being slaves or maybe they are about sexual fantasy's or fetishes, there's so many possibilities and they cause
