Original brief-For my FMP/Starting work

Original Fmp ideas:
For my FMP project I have decided to try make us less cutlery (elements of shindogu have been inculded)most of my sketch work is in my folder but I have a example of one of the test cups I have made:

With this pot I included uneven textures and bumps.This would make it almost impossible for some one to use this cup as all the liquid would spill out of one of the sides. This is,of course, not even close to my final design but is still a idea. I shall be waiting till I am able to paint it.My thoughts are that if I use acrylic paint I can then paint over the pot in horrible,murky colours.This will add to the piece and make it so that no one would even want to pick it up.

Some close ups of my first idea:

A close up of the top part

*please note that on my past drawings of this idea I have measurements on how big my piece should be.This is only a example and most likely will be bigger.

other logos and possible directions pt2

Some logos that i shall be taking into consideration when making my final logo better.The puma one links into the leaping bunny(or in this case cat)idea.

Final logo idea PROUD PETS

This logo ended up not being my final one as i wanted to make it more simple.I have drawn to the bases with all my designs to ensure a fluid and bulky .

Constructivism(wikapedia)

Constructivism was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning in 1919 and was a rejection of the idea of autonomous art. The movement was in favour of art as a practice for social purposes.
Constructivism first appears as a positive term in Naum Gabo's Realistic Manifesto of 1920. Aleksei Gan used the word as the title of his book Constructivism, printed in 1922.^[1] Constructivism was a post-World War I development of Russian Futurism, and particularly of the 'counter reliefs' of Vladimir Tatlin, which had been exhibited in 1915. The term itself would be invented by the sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo, who developed an industrial, angular style of work, while its geometric abstraction owed something to the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich.

Who was Raphael

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.
Following his death, Raphael's movement toward Mannerism influenced painting styles in Italy’s advancing Baroque period. Celebrated for the balanced and harmonious compositions of his "Madonnas," portraits, frescoes and architecture, Raphael continues to be widely regarded as the leading artistic figure of Italian High Renaissance classicism.

Highly romatised.

The name Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood referred to the groups’ opposition to the Royal Academy’s promotion of the Renaissance master Raphael. They were also in revolt also against the triviality of the immensely popular genre painting of time.
Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, who urged artists to ‘go to nature’, they believed in an art of serious subjects treated with maximum realism. Their principal themes were initially religious, but they also used subjects from literature and poetry, particularly those dealing with love and death. They also explored modern social problems.

Exquisite corpse

 "Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau." ("The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.")^[


The technique was invented by surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called Consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder André Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching. Breton said the diversion started about 1925, but Pierre Reverdy wrote that it started much earlier, at least before 1918

The World War I Pamphlet Collection developed from two sources. The Greensboro Public Library donated a selection of pamphlets that were added to the Library’s holdings of United States government publications of that period and topic. While the assembled collection spans the entire war, the publications date from 1912 - 1931 with the bulk of the materials concentrated from 1914 - 1919. The collection was processed and cataloged during 2001-2002.

 

Many of the Dada artists such as Ernst, Arp, Picabia and Miró were attracted to surrealism because of its interest in poetry or in its anarchic and unconventional approach and all of them provided illustrations for Littérature. As Arp explained, ‘I exhibited along with the surrealists because their rebellious attitude towards “art” and their direct attitude towards life were as wise as Dada.

Surrealism was a movement born out of the remains of madness and terror.  After the Great War, the writings of an obscure psychologist in Vienna, Sigmund Freud suddenly seemed relevant

The French poet, André Brenton, is known as the “Pope of Surrealism.” Brenton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto to describe how he wanted to combine the conscious and subconscious into a new “absolute reality” (de la Croix 708). He first used the word surrealism to describe work found to be a “fusion of elements of fantasy with elements of the modern world to form a kind of superior reality.” He also described it as “spontaneous writing” (Surrealism 4166-67).
