The consequence of using plagiarism in my work:

Using plagiarism in my own work could result in multiple actions being taken wheather that be a essay that will be submitted for approval.. This can also extend to copying a image by drawing the same as another artist and trying to pass it off as my own .Most importantly that my work could not be submitted or would be rejected and making achieving a grade impossible.Breaking copyright laws in higher education (such as university's) could mean failing my course but could also result in being kicked off of my course and in most serious cases being taken to court, if the victim of plagiarism decides so.

Introduction:
In this essay I will be speaking about historical artists such as Dante Gabriel Rosetti and a new comer to the art world named Tara Booth. I shall be talking about the very movements they considered themselves to be in looking particularly closely at the Pre-Raphliteand the equalist movement to what lengths this effected their work considering factors such as the political,social,and religious elements.

A look into the work and history of Dante Gabriel Rosetti:
Dante Gabriel Rossetti became part of the movement group named the pre-Raphlite brotherhood. The brotherhood was formed of seven artists including William Holman hunt,John Everett Millais, And Rosetti himself. Like the other members of the group Rossettis intentions was to emulate the lush scenery and fair maidens of the medieval times. In his work these pieces would often be filled with illuminating colours which would have been used in the era this was his way of recapturing or more accurately reproducing the glorious figures that would often be seen in churches. This style would later be known as romanticism which was largely used in the brotherhood.
Rosettis main choice of medium was in fact paint on canvas which most of work would be done on though he dabbled with other medium including Pencil sketches, Wood cut illustrations, and one  decorative art piece.
Rosettis work was Highly influenced by his religious views.Many of his works of art had hints of noble and religious disposition.this could be Connected to the oxford movement,a movement also known as the Tractartion movement,which looked towards recreating Christian traditions.
Other elements that effected Rossetis work was the ever developing European symbolist movement which was a nineteenth-century art movement consisting mostly of poetry and other arts(such as painting)Using this movement later on in his life Dante began to take his work into the direction of physical Eroticism.His paintings in themselves and gradually the women in them became more chacterized by dense colours.
looking deeper into one of these pieces,prodomentally one of his most well known pieces 'Lady Lilith'(1867). Done using watercolour and gouache on paper Rossetti set out to capture the allure of a women physical appearance. In this painting in particular he included a long ginger haired figure named Lilith ,whom would mostly be found in Jewish ligature and beliefs often spoke about when referring to the story of Adam and Eve .In said literature Lilith was known as Adams intended wife or mate whom refused to submit to him so as result was banished and replaced with a new counterpart names Eve.Rosetti would often include Lilith in his work and also sonnets which would be dedicated to her.
My personal opinion on this piece is that it is by far one of my favourites he has done. Partly down to the beautiful mass of foliage and flowers in the back and foreground bringing in a strong element of romanticism and also using the typical English perception of  'delicate flowers' .
Another point in the painting i enjoyed was the composition, the shoulder slightly uncovered oe exposed giving a hint of flesh which could give a more seductive or suggestive meaning. Also nothing the posture and how Liliths hair falls down at one side of her shoulder , i feel this gives the picture a dash of elegance and once again shows off the neck and the pale complexion which lilth was known for having.

Tara Booth
While not as well known as the likes of Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Taras growing popularity on social media websites such as Instagram,Twitter,and Etsy have began to raise her notability .while taking this into account there is still limited information regarding tara so all sources are taken from her direct words.Taras work would mostly feature characters and women(usually herself or the people who would be seen around her)These people would often be seen interacting with themselves or other people.Also would be seen interacting with the environment they were in.Unlike other artist whom use humans and body in their work hers differ in the way that they are cartoonish and simple yet are fitled with patterns.Many of her people donning large black thick eyes and big round red lips.

One piece in particular Titled 'peeing in a romper' being one of my favourites she was done so far. The image showed a illustrated tara in a pattered romper attempting to un do it so she could urinating.The image concludes with Tara sat on the toilet completely naked looking agitated.The comedic effect of the facial expressions (which can always been seen in her work)make sit even better and more personal for those whom have experienced the same.i personally feel that this piece shows interaction at its core maybe not with humans but how we interact with objects.Much like this image Taras work revolves around expiernces and what we as humans expiernce whether that be how we interact with ourselves or how we interact with other people.Expanding on her idea of expieranences tara appears to target those of women looking at simple tasks we do(some of which would seem minute )and express our annoyance.Many of her paintings express her character as being one of free body(showing her walking around nude or as she pleases).This leads me to believe that her work could be considered in either the feminist or equalist  movement especially when  looking at her piece titled 'My body my choice' done with simple acrylic paints.

Comparing and contrasting the two
While both artists lived in different eras and were considered in different movements one thing that connected them is the people who were as the centre of their work,the women they captured,the way they acted,and seen by others.Comparing Dantess 'Lady lilith' and Taras 'My body,my choice' could suggest that both strive to create women who are strong and free willed.And while their paining styles may differ they still get across their message just as strong

masking tape method (how to help guide)

1,left:Example of the type of tape i would use this is my main method
2.Right;final piece/Example of what i hope to achieve
Idea and explanation:
below is a link i found that would help(aid me) when trying to create smooth lines or shapes,This is very much relevant for my work at the moment as i am trying to get smooth shapes edges and line (this feeding into my idea) but hasn't worked so far due to my very shaky hands (Thius is mostly due to anxiety.Thus why i haver thought about using masking tape as a aid as i can not correct my shaking problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDV6x1_Nhrg

problems with t his method have cropped up.Mainly due to my own stupidity,For example sticking the tape on to tight and then resulting in having to rip the tape of and then ripping the piece: example below:

Artist reference Nina chanel abney

1*

2*''At first glance, Abney’s graphic colorful style might recall modernist painter Stuart Davis, but her subject matter is distinctively contemporary. Abney’s narrative paintings and collages—filled with a pulsating mix of color, text, and figures—swiftly tackle topics related to race, gender, and politics. Dreams, personal experience, and conversations inspire her works; police brutality has figured prominently in recent paintings, leading many to associate the works with the Black Lives Matter movement. The artist has gained steady momentum ever since a fierce MFA thesis show at Parsons in 2007 that caught the attention of her gallery, Kravets Wehby, and the Rubell Collection, which led to her inclusion in the important traveling exhibition “30 Americans.” Her works were recently shown at the Whitney, and this can be seen as part of the artist-run super PAC “For Freedoms” at Jack Shainman and in Jeffrey Deitch and Joseph Sitt’s outdoor street art exhibition Coney Art Walls.'

This quote was taken directly from the artist bio on the website that has been referenced below. i felt it was relevant to include as it suggest her style of work.As well as this it also references similar artists Or more artist she takes after) while this is great i still believe her art is her own.

Artists Methods/mediums:
prodomently paining

Initial thoughts:
Much like my last post i had set my self the goal of finding artist similar to my self whom i felt i could use in junction with the AMW ( alternative mrs world)idea.Automatically this piece and artist struck me,Not only because of the figure and without question the diversity, but the shapes and figures that can be seen in the background. My favourite part of the picture as a whole would be the grass the simple shape that to the onlooker could be interpreted as grass,While some shapes in the background are not as obvious this is exactly what i am looking for when trying to get inspiration for the content in my art,Over all this piece is great to me.

What do i take from this image?:
This image may not realate as such to alternative mrs work but i do feel however it links in with my theme of human interaction and human space in general.Mostly due to the actual matter the picture deals with women and nudes and humans in general. while this may not be a strong connection the image layout alone is enough in my view to continue to look at this artist.

*2'Working across painting, sculpture, embroidery, and tapestry, Khatibi envisions scenes that emphasize primal impulses and power struggles among human beings. “I am interested in the male-female interaction, and the thin line that exists between our fears and desires,” Khatibi says. Recent paintings follow a group of white nude females in exotic landscapes, where they commingle with wild animals—riding alligators, hunting rabbits, draping snakes and octopi over their shoulders. “My women are vulnerable and yet predators at the same time. They are also depicted within the same plane as the animals, who represent power, danger, and our primitive instincts,” she says, though she notes that the women have an ambiguous relationship with power, violence, sensuality, and one another. “I suppose they are all me—and they are all bits and pieces of us all,” she offers. Khatibi’s works will feature in solo shows this fall at NICC Vitrine and Super Dakota in Brussels and The Cabin LA in Los Angeles.'


This quote was directly sourced from the a reputable and correct course. I felt it was very nessasery to mention as i have experimented with similar/same mediums as the artist.


Artists methods and mediums:



Initial thoughts:
While looking for artist who illustrated similar to myself and ideas for general layout i came across
Saman Khatibi who's colourful and all most pre raphlite work attracted me; I found the two images to be polar opposites of each other (not just because of the bright blue happier perception of 'No ones going quietly') but because of what the women depicted in the two paintings could be seen doing.Skinning animals and the dead carcasses of animals really pushed aside the initial thoughts of how beautiful the images were.I feel both these paintings try to get across how we in the past days interacted with our surrounds and what we would call food (though i myself do not indulge in  this type of act).

What do i take from these images? 
while these images do not hold a massive influence when it comes to my theme of space i feel i can look at the genral interaction between the figures and also the chance to take my work in less plain content and give the viewer a more uneasy feel

looking into the space we interact in ideas

The basic ideas

As i was wanting to take this project in a different direction to what i had initially planned i looked into human interaction (The space we inhabit). I first listed all the most generic places where we would interact with someone or most likely take up their space.Wanting to also think into personal space a lot more.

http://www.medicalbag.com/business/waiting-rooms-of-the-best-medical-practices/article/472455/

images for reference taken from the links listed;

My initial thought was to look at common places that included space (and my idea of it). The first was the doctors including places like the Dentist, options,waiting rooms, and even interview rooms. These ideas came to my head most because of the fact that i myself had been in many of these places and had had to have sat next to some one whom i would either rather not sit near/or sat next to some one i otherwise would never think to engage 9in.Many times i could feel like my personal space/or personal bubble was being invaded thus bringing life to my FMP idea.

Starting my ideas off:

I also wanted to bring in my idea of abstract and my illustration skills so i stated expanding my thoughts;while trying new medium i decided to mack up one of my ideas this was a quick image 

the result was something i was very happy with;

This image was made in a lecture and contains sides of tables,shapes,human form pieces constructed into abstract.To put it simply i took elements of certain objects or people and drew them up. concentrations more on the lines of the body.

I enjoyed this idea so much i decided to carry it on further (MOST OF THIS WORK CAN BE FOUND IN MY SKETCH BOOK)

Carrying on my idea of shapes and line i decided to paint up some ideas (feeling that not only was this good practice but would be great 

 my portfolio work.

What helps the most;

A critical part of my work has always been observing people and the environment this project still continued such observations.But i did not feel inclined to do so i felt joy.

alternative mrs world ideas(and experimentation)

For my first idea i started to look into shapes(and the space in-between them) also pulling in my knowledge of prisms and shapes(which i had been doing about in maths).I wanted to pull in shapes and the people that inhabit these shapes (e.g people being inside shapes either trapped or inhabiting).

For a start i looked into general shape ideas i sketched the out (so that i would have a good reference below are some of the pictures used:
