Initial Ideas - Art
Art and Literature
How do words shape images in our head? - Colourful descriptions; imagery, metaphors, similies, personification etc. What appears in your head when you read?
Books I've Read:
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Ken Kesey, 1976)
- Lord of the Flies (William Golding, 1954)
- The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde, 1890)
- Beloved (Toni Morrison, 1987)
- Dracula (Bram Stoker, 1897)
- A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess, 1962)
Intertwining Art and Literature; Wielding the pen/paintbrush to express oneself and ideals, flaws within society?
-
Parody
Cambridge Dictionary definition; "writing, music, art, speech, etc. that intentionally copies the style of someone famous or copies a particular situation, making the features or qualities of the original more noticeable in a way that is humorous"
Can be criticism/satire of an otherwise sensitive topic (politics, for example?) - how we use comedy to cope with difficult situations
-
Media featuring parody musicians: Weird Al Yankovic, Spinal Tap, The Hee Bee Gee Bees
Parodies are sometimes a testament to how timeless a piece/idea is - e.g parodies of Grant Wood's American Gothic; people replicated the work with different characters, for promotional/comedic/satirical reasons
Perspectives
A way of looking at something, both figuratively and literally.
-
Negative Effects: How perspectives (opinions) may escalate or spiral; quarrels, break ups, war, distress
Positive Effects: Strengthens bonds between people, encourages empathy and the ability to put oneself in someone else's shoes, guides people to look outside of themselves
How depth and perspective are created, and what effects they may have, e.g Dutch Tilt mirrors a sense of disorientation, confusion
Perspective also means the true understanding of a situation; looking through an objective lens (whereas someone's specific perspective is subjective)
Domes
Dome structure, or something with a dome shape; structure
Famed buildings with domes: Taj Mahal, United States Capitol, Dome of the Rock, Florence Cathedral, St. Peter's Basilica
"Dome" in terms of slang - bald head, "off the dome" - something done spontaneously
Breakfast
'The most important meal of the day'; unity with food, the positive effects of breakfast - why is it called breakfast? Breaking fast?
Preparation for the day ahead - breakfast may dictate emotions, motivation, productivity and your state of mental wellbeing
Why might people miss breakfast? Not enough time in the morning/ no motivation to make a meal/ no appetite? How can it affect their day?
Collections
Fascination with collecting objects of similar character - size, shape etc. How collections originate, the person's relationship with the thing they collect
-
Artists who have incorporated extensive use of collections in their work: Bill Woodrow, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas
Domestic Life
How it's evolved throughout history; relationship between parents, children
Types of Families: Extended families, nuclear families, single-parent families etc.
Nostalgia in domestic life? Smell of food from the kitchen, sitting down on the sofa with the family
Barcodes
Machine-readable codes in the format of numbers and a pattern of parallel lines of different widths - a visual representation of data
-
-
Barcodes could embody consumerism - Fight Club, Shaun of the Dead feature elements of anti-consumerism
