For our final project, I found it so hard to choose an idea to work on. My problem is that I come up with so many ideas, but I hardly ever follow them through. So, starting with fourteen different ideas for this assignment, I finally narrowed it down (taking into account the resources and materials that I have) and have decided to create piece called "Impressions"
This consists of a mixture of mediums: video, photography, sketching and writing- capturing the impressions of a person through these different methods of art. The video is capturing what we see through a lens and with motion, which is different to what we see when we are given a frozen image, that is too, capturing the subject through technology. The sketch will be showing a persons interpretation of what they see and what they associate with that particular subject matter, which is further demonstrated with the writing aspect of the piece; describing what the artist (in this case, is me, even though I don't consider myself as one) see and feel in regards to the subject, which cannot be displayed through video or photograph. With these four modes, it can challenge a viewer into thinking, that while the video and photograph record the subject accurately in appearance, which mode is the more truthful.
The explanation of 'Impressions' will be continued with my final submission.
Meanwhile...
So far I have created a 40 second video of the chosen subject and have taken many photos of them. This is one of the photographs taken:
Methodology of the 'Impressions' experience : If I were to have an exhibition space, it would be set up like either of these options:
And the other walls of the room would be filled with sketches or writings of the viewer, so when they would visit, they can create their own impression of the subject and add it to the exhibition. This would also highlight the idea that every single person leaves some sort of impression on the people they meet, which is what art really is all about: leaving an impression.
I have yet to sketch and to write, which will be the task over the next few weeks.
