Famous costume designer- Eiko Ishioka

Changed designs.

My 5 completed LSG designs.

My 3D project so far...

This is a completed bodest from my first trial, I have now made a second one using wire as well as modrock, I like the way it has turned out so far and I am going to paint this in the same style as the first, I really like the way the lines look and I think this mirrors the way Egon Sheile draws, it has been hard to convey this in a 3D form but I think it works very well!

Continuing on from my previous post, i have changed it from courses to contact information.

I think this works a lot better and is more aesthetically pleasing. 

Here is my first LSG design, i was going to put the courses on the back like ingredients to the ketchup, but i don't like the way it looks as i think it looks too busy, so i am changing it.

Specialist techniques- What i want to do at the moment.

At the moment I enjoy these things at college in my art lessons:

• 3D sculpturing with wire mesh, paper Mache, clay, mod rock, as I didn't really do much of it at school and its fun trying new things that I haven't done before.
• Life drawing, as again I've never tried this before and I really enjoy it and I think I'm quite alright at it.
• Painting, as I've been doing this from primary school and its always been a passion of mine.

These are some of the things that I would probably not progress on after college

• Graphic design, as I struggle with it and I feel that I'll never be amazing at it, and I don't enjoy it that much.

Here are some career paths that I would like to take:

• Technical costume design.

From looking at popular Broadway shows such as the lion king and war horse, I am very interested in the costume design and the way humans use the costumes as a form of puppetry, to portray how the animals move, walk, run etc.
from watching a video of Will Pearce who is Head of Puppets and Masks for London's West End production of The Lion King, who graduated from Wimbledon's BA Technical Arts and Special Effects course in 2003, gave me an In sight on how some of the puppetry works, whether it be simple string puppet or a complex technique. He spoke about the constant maintenance of the puppets on how often they have to take new casts of the performers for their costumes.

Here is a video of the Handspring puppet company, war horse, it shows how the people inside the costume portray the movements of thee horse, to give a convincing performance.

Creative advertising.

I have found these images that create a little humour, this gages their attention. all of these designs have been cleverly planned out so that the audience will understand the humour that the designer has incorporated into there design. I can take influence from these popular designs to use in my own work.

 

Abstract work inspiration for peace room.

The colours in this are very vibrant, this gives me inspiration for my work.

I find this one realty interesting, I like the look of the texture and I feel like it looks like a city skyline, this makes it more interesting as the viewer is trying to find out what it looks like through there eyes.

Surrealism- LSG

Here are some images i have found in relation to our LSG work, for our second design we are looking into surrealism, here are some images that will help me in my research. Slavador Dali was a highly famous surrealist artist, some of his work is included in these pictures.

Alix's work

I really like her line work and I think she consistantly produces good work.

Donkey

This is the donkey that I have sat on today, it is a lot different to working on a easel but I don't mind it, I don't think it changes my drawing style but the others said it did to there's.

Latest skeleton drawing.

This is my latest skeleton drawing, I think that this is the best one I have done and looking back at my work I have really seen the progress I have made wich proves that practice makes perfect, I really like my line work in this and I am very proud of this.

The Tate modern.

Thomas Hirschhorn and Germaine Richier

Opening the Transformed Visions wing are two sculptures that explore the hybridisation of the body.
The central room in this wing looks at the tension between the bodily and the abstract in the art of the 1950s. Living through the physical, moral and humanitarian crises that followed the Second World War, artists were faced with the dilemma of how to make art in the shadow of catastrophe. Wary of false idealisms, some artists engaged more closely with the physical materials of art-making, while others focused on the body as a site for transformation. The surrounding galleries examine ways in which the figure has continued to be the bearer of meaning, protest or renewal in the face of conflict and disaster. There are also several rooms devoted to the elegiac and sublime, with immersive works in which form and colour allow direct emotional engagement

I think that this will influence me in my assignment for 3D as he is very similar to alberto glacometti work that I have already researched.

The V&A museum

Thttp://www.vam.ac.uk/content/exhibitions/exhibition-horst-photographer-of-style/about-the-exhibition/ Here is a certain collection of art I would like to view, it is the Horst exhibition, this is a group of photos form the photographer Horst P. Horst , I really think this would help me in my 3D sections as our assignment is the human form and portraiture.

The Surrealist art movement explored unique ways of interpreting the world, turning to dreams and the unconscious for inspiration. During the 1930s Surrealism escaped its radical avant-garde roots and transformed design, fashion, advertising, theatre and film.
Horst’s photographs of this period feature mysterious, whimsical and surreal elements combined with his classical aesthetic. He created trompe l’oeil still lifes, photographed the surreal-infused dress designs of his friend Elsa Schiaparelli and collaborated with the artist Salvador Dalí. He shared with the Surrealists a fascination with the representation of the female body, often fragmenting and eroticising the human form in his images.
His most celebrated photograph of the era is Mainbocher Corset (1939). Decades after the photograph was made, Main Bocher himself expressed his admiration for Horst’s virtuosity, writing,

‘Your photographs are sheer genius and delight my soul … each one is perfect by itself.’

 

This work just appeals to me so I would like to go and view this.
