brainstorming ideas for exhibition set up

Ideas for set up include framing pictures I have shown or sticking and placing them onto the wall behind while placing my pots in front (which will be included ad completed by this time as I plan to work overtime).
I sketch the set up and place it below:

This will all depend as well on my space which I will be getting but all being  well it will be okay.
I feel like adding some.hunting or some dangling decorations will look nice as well and maybe make them nipples in some way(like little nipple droplets coming down from the string so people.will walk up to them and notice.I want some of the drawings on the back of the walls to be in simple black biro and done to a high standards and stu k squarely on the wall (I will adjust these in photo shop if needed and.maybe print out the pictures.I used before and paper clip them together.
Ideas also to draw in thick balk pen on printed paper or pre painted paper so my designs can be seen over or under a pattern.

If I have enough time I may make a few cards(thank you cards that can be placed on my table)

music I plan to have while my exerbtion is played:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9z0bUK-gQk&list=PLbnEDjTFeFo1FTOXcsJuHIIScP88Hc_f-
The reason I want this music to be played  is because:
1.The music itself relates to my theme and to the topic I wish to potray
2.Because the band, Le Tigre , are known known for its left-wing sociopolitical lyrics, dealing with issues of feminism and the LGBT community. This also goes well.

Vortisum Edward Wadsworth

My idea for my vortsisum piece came from a picture done by Edwards Wadsworth.This piece was very exciting to me as the closer you look the more you can see(e.g people and stairs). I am hoping to use this idea in my final piece .
As I have been doing some land based research around the college (especially in the engineering). While I was there I saw a range of different machines and cogs that were connected to machines.This has given me the idea to construct a vortsist body out of machine parts(and possibly people at work on the machines). This would symbolise that the human body is like a massive man made machine.
I shall be devolping my idea further but I am very happy with my conclusion so
far.

Machine parts example

My idea:

This is my final idea. I will be making a copy of this and deciding what shall be the back ground picture ( I will research machine and mechanical ESC colours )

I will either stencil the design or paint the picture a colour.

The futurism manifesto (link)

We have been up all night, my friends and I, beneath mosque lamps whose brass cupolas are bright as our souls, because like them they were illuminated by the internal glow of electric hearts. And trampling underfoot our native sloth on opulent Persian carpets, we have been discussing right up to the limits of logic and scrawling the paper with demented writing.
Our hearts were filled with an immense pride at feeling ourselves standing quite alone, like lighthouses or like the sentinels in an outpost, facing the army of enemy stars encamped in their celestial bivouacs. Alone with the engineers in the infernal stokeholes of great ships, alone with the black spirits which rage in the belly of rogue locomotives, alone with the drunkards beating their wings against the walls.
Then we were suddenly distracted by the rumbling of huge double decker trams that went leaping by, streaked with light like the villages celebrating their festivals, which the Po in flood suddenly knocks down and uproots, and, in the rapids and eddies of a deluge, drags down to the sea.
Then the silence increased. As we listened to the last faint prayer of the old canal and the crumbling of the bones of the moribund palaces with their green growth of beard, suddenly the hungry automobiles roared beneath our windows.
"Come, my friends!" I said. "Let us go! At last Mythology and the mystic cult of the ideal have been left behind. We are going to be present at the birth of the centaur and we shall soon see the first angels fly! We must break down the gates of life to test the bolts and the padlocks! Let us go! Here is they very first sunrise on earth! Nothing equals the splendor of its red sword which strikes for the first time in our millennial darkness."
We went up to the three snorting machines to caress their breasts. I lay along mine like a corpse on its bier, but I suddenly revived again beneath the steering wheel — a guillotine knife — which threatened my stomach. A great sweep of madness brought us sharply back to ourselves and drove us through the streets, steep and deep, like dried up torrents. Here and there unhappy lamps in the windows taught us to despise our mathematical eyes. "Smell," I exclaimed, "smell is good enough for wild beasts!"
And we hunted, like young lions, death with its black fur dappled with pale crosses, who ran before us in the vast violet sky, palpable and living

futurism (model work)

My idea for my model work is to use the ideas of Futrism to make a 3D model. I shall combine shapes (waves)  to build up a image(which is one of my images that was drawn on Tuesday. I use the shapes to make simple parts of the body obvious like the hips.

I will be using this picture as a example 

I will be making this into a 3D model afterwards. I will consider using card and paper. 

I used this picture for my model of the body,this is the model so far:

If you look closely you can see the begging of the rib cage.

Next I plan to paint some of the pieces,this will be done so the darker and lighter parts of the body are more obvious.

life drawing continued

Updated drawings. I researched how to draw hands (mainly by looking in magazines like OK and other life style).I also studied breast shapes as I found my drawing before to be quite oddly shapped. 

The first drawing at the top went well and I really like the shape of the back and how I had started to shade certain features. Although it does appear to be a little long I shall have to try drawing backs in my spare time. 

The second drawing has both the same positives and negatives as the last one.

life drawing (From real model)

First time using tablet on a real model. First two pictures need major improvements specially the chin and hands. I will be doing some research on these two things that I struggling. I am impressed though with the body proportions though as I usually struggle with them. 

Futurism and vortitsum

What is futurism?
Futurism iswas an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It emphasized and glorified themes associated with contemporary concepts of the future, including speed, technology, youth and violence, and objects such as the car, the aeroplane and the industrial city. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia, England and elsewhere.
(Taken from Wikipedia)
Examples of artists:
Gino Severini, Luigi Russolo, Carlo Carrà, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni.
Example of artwork in futurism style:

This painting was done by Gino Severini 

Gino Severini, 1912, Dynamic Hieroglyphic of the Bal Tabarin, oil on canvas with sequins

What is vortitsum?

Vorticism was a short-lived modernist movement in British art and poetry of the early 20th century.[1] It was partly inspired by Cubism. The movement was announced in 1914 in the first issue of BLAST, which contained its manifesto and the movement's rejection of landscape and nudes in favour of a geometric style tending towards abstraction. Ultimately, it was their witnessing of unfolding human disaster in World War I that "drained these artists of their Vorticist zeal".Vorticism was based in London but was international in make-up and ambition.

Example of Artists:The eleven signatories of the Vorticist manifesto were:

Richard Aldington

Malcolm Arbuthnot

Lawrence Atkinson

Jessica Dismorr

Henri Gaudier-Brzeska

Cuthbert Hamilton

Wyndham Lewis

Ezra Pound

William Roberts

Helen Saunders

Edward Wadsworth

Example of artwork:

life drawing (from real model)

This was my first attempt at drawing a real life model.U found this very intresting and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

My first two attempts were a lot better though I didn't manage to get a picture.

life drawing (using iPad sketch)

While using A iPad I realised how much fun it really was. All the tools were so much easier to access then in real life. I had a larger range of colours to choose from which felt better. I am definitely going to be using this in the future.

Life drawing (painting with hands)

These were the finished pieces of ny attempt to paint life models by hand.I think in the second picture I made a mistake on the jaw. But otherwise thus style really appealed to me.

We were shown artists work that used methods,  similar to what we did,  Matisse's paintings  were the ones that I took a liking to the most.

 His work looks blended and techtured.

Here we see some of his most famous pieces, above is a portrait called' The Green Line' which was modelled by Mrs.Matisse.

life drawing (continued)

Update of life sketches we did today. I have been able to use the stick and chalk method Al orb better today and have managed to get some contor into the last picture.

Sculpture work continued

Yanboru Boiken Mask: East sepik province,Papua New Guine
,19th Century and before.

I thought I could try link my sculpting work with these creative masks. I feel that the fact they relate to the animal I am using will help

Barbra Hepworth. Pt,1

Henry Moore (Sculpture)

best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art.

His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces.
(Taken from Wikipedia)
Here I have selected a few of his most well knows pieces:

When doing my sculpture work I will consider the body shapes and the way he portrays the female body.

life drawing Pt.2

I feel that my newest Real life drawing lacked the detail I usally put in my work.I did not finish the ribcage.One thing I am impressed with is the facial features.
I used slight shading on the back and face.my next target is to try focus on ribcage and try and draw the curves on the bones. A fellow class mate gave me the iidea to draw shapes for the body and the work on the detail.

We were told to grade(so to speak) another person's work. I picked another class mates 

Drawing. I was impressed by the fact she had managed to draw all parts of the body , even the ribcage, which I would like to be able to do myself.
