For my project theme my topic is France and the colonisation of Francophone West African countries. My aim is to create a film to educate people; possibly a powerpoint too so that my film isn't too long. My outcome prototype I plan to make on Saturday is creating my own physical version of a former currency from Guinea called Guinean Syli as there is a lot of history behind it that not many people know about due to the fact that the story behind it has been scrubbed from the internet and hidden from the media. For my project I want to use fabrics, paint and chalk to achieve what I have in mind.

After investigating various sculptural and textile exhibits, I want to experiment with tactile materials such as paper, straws, wool, and cotton.

I am researching sustainable materials like wool or metal that could be used to make Himmeli-like structures.

Initial experiments should lead to outcomes of shapes, which are then used to develop ideas for the final outcome.

I'm looking to develop the final outcome, which is an object for the interior or displayed in interior space.

I'm currently considering communicating my "outsider" status through Himmeli or creating a practical interior decor outcome series.

Last week I spent time visiting museums and exhibitions to get inspiration and further delve into my theme of female empowerment and the beauty industry. For my project want to focus on the beauty industry and beauty standards women are pressure to upheld and the magazine culture that has influenced this.

I want to utilise magazines and research these through time since early 2000's to see how the columns and articles in these influenced beauty standards on women and also how certain magazines would critise women in public eye. For my project want to look at how can use fabrics such as lace for print making and also how can use tulle and silk in my outcome and potential to print designs or patterns onto these.

FMP Project Statement:

In my project I aim to create a short film. In it I will delve into the perspectives of various Black British Artists and their exploration of identity, culture and protest. I chose this because it relates to some of my other projects and is easier for me to talk about than a topic I'm not as well versed in. I will display different mediums of art, showing 2D art, photography and film, explaining the meaning behind their works, as well as the intent of their overall messaging and how that relates to the issues of their time. I may include excerpts from interviews they've done, giving more insight into their perspectives, and I'll compare and contrast these different perspectives to highlight the various conclusions each artist has reached. For art that I've seen personally, footage I've taken of it will be displayed in the video, using a variety of different shots.

I tried to create one concept today for the animation I’ll include my development in another post on here but I decided on using text in her eyes and using blurry transitions to describe the importance of appearance to someone suffering with body dysmorphia. The meaning behind the use of Transitions and the concept I came up with for using the eyes specifically is to connote that it becomes the only thing that matters and that people are blinded by the idea of the “beauty standard”.

(This won’t be the final outcome’s concept it’s just a draft I made on a small animation app I have, I drew each frame but the final out come will be digitally drawn or digitally coloured to make the visual more appealing).
