Fine Art
I really enjoyed the Fine Art taster which revolved around found objects. Firstly we used old shirts and created different shapes with them. We did this by tying them together in various and unusual ways and wearing them or attaching them to an object, in this case a window which we were told to 'protect' in some way. This was a group piece and from it you could conclude that we are trying to stop protect ourselves by stopping people looking in or protecting the window by not allowing anyone to get near it. We then had to think about the shirt itself, its life, where it had come from, who it belonged to and how we had come to have it oursleves. We then had to create a 2D piece from this portraying what we had thought about the shirt. As mine was from a charity shop my thoughts about the shirt was that it had been forgotten, left behind and that it was unwanted and slowly losing its connection with an owner, it was becoming lost. I therefore tried to depict this in my piece using prints from the shirt, emulsion and ink to cover up and disguise the fact that the shirt is there, losing itself.
After we used the shirts we had to bring another found object in. I bought in a pair of shoes that i no longer wore. Again we had to think about the life of the shoes. The words that came to my mind when thinking about the shoes were mainly journey, cheap, dirty, used. i thought about all these words together and came up with more of a performance piece where it shows the footprints of the journeys i have taken in them and me leaving the shoes behind as they becomeeven more broken and unwearable. I also created a more sculptural piece bringing in the laces that the shoes never had and using the words that i had written down to start off with.
Again this project is the one i have found most enjoyable as i like to think about the meaning of things and the message they might portray. I also like the way an idea can develop and change into something you had never planned to do in the first place.
