Week 3

During the Easter break, I manage to undergo some experiments that allowed me to evolve my idea on children destruction further on. So I invited children and gave them paint and paper and to be able to do whatever there heart desired. Then from the pieces of art they created, I used some of the shapes and manipulated on photoshop to creates rough designs. It worked well but after my tutorial my tutor helped me realised that they created something, they didn't destruct something as I wanted it to portray.

DAY ONE

Start of the week, as I mentioned that I had a tutorial, I was able to show the work that I managed to have done so far and I think these are useful as it allows another perspective on your theme and how you can look at it in another way. It was really relevant as it opened my eyes on what I had done, I forced the idea to quickly on children when there are different aspects of destruction, like emotional destruction; relationships, war, etc. At the time when thinking about destructive children, I was thinking in my head that it would be much more fun and not as serious as looking at war, etc. What I needed to do next was to understand how it feels when someone breaks up with you, or when people destroy your personal belongings, destruction of society?! So I will develop on further with these ideas and begin to do some stand work and designing. 

DAY TWO

With the useful feedback I received I continued to look at destruction in the army and different wars that I am familiar with. World War II was the most outstanding as how the war ended, one atomic bomb ended all destruction between countries. This reminded me of a poem I had researched before for English Literature, it was called; August 6, 1945. I continued analysing the poem and the context behind it.

DAY THREE

The next day I thought I'll try something new and learn how to knit, learnt the basics at the start, I would say i am not the best but I still tried and created some samples that related to war, the after math of destruction from the holes and blood splatters only done by thread nothing else. Weaved in red thread and shaped like a blood splatter, in a small section. From the swatches I am going to go ahead and do some photoshop manipulations layering the samples, enlarging/shrinking, twisting/ making it thinner, etc. To modify it in anyway possible so that I am able to develop and do some designs but drawn this time, from the shapes gather from the page.
