I will complete tasks from slides today. This consists of:
-a description of my project proposal
- researches on both an old aesthetic and a new one and use primary images.
-answer questions: what skills have you learnt already? what skills do you want to learn and why? what do you want your work to be about?

I may further develop this into how women were represented years ago contrasting to now by looking into paintings and photography of women- were they empowered or sexualised and has this changed?

I was particularly fascinated with the old trends in general and how they are different now- but also how old trends have influenced new trends? By aesthetics and trends this applies to fashion trends, photography trends (e.g. photography for magazines, posters), architectural trends (how exterior and interior design aesthetics have changed), and old art vs new art. This is my surface visuals and this will develop as i go- however i have a  brief idea in my project proposal and response to the answer below "what do you want your work to be about?".]]> 2021-01-12 13:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078404102 Old aesthetic research 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078520191 Firstly, in order to fully understand the old aesthetic i had to research it- i chose to research the 50's- from this research i realised they were very into vivid colours. I saw this through the fashion, art and room decor as pictured below.
The fashion for women were often big round dresses with stockings. Alot of these dresses were bright colours and pattered- often polka dots.
The interior design layout has definitely changed now, however back then bright colours were also in trend. Alot of the houses had wooden panelling.

Gender roles often consisted of women being housewives whilst men were head of the house and were the income providers. Women were often represented in the media as slaves to men, which can be seen through the overly- sexualised images of them solely to please men. They were typically seen as failures to men who couldn't earn money, and their hard work as a housewife was never appreciated. They were seen as stupid, as seen on the image below of a women opening a ketchup bottle with the caption "you mean a women can open it?".]]> 2021-01-12 14:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078574334 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078636892 2021-01-12 14:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078636892 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078640663 2021-01-12 14:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078640663 New aesthetic research 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078677418 Nowadays, a lot of the modern designs are a lot more simplistic, cleaner and sleek. This is called minimalist aesthetic- this lifestyle is supposed to feel like a breath of fresh air, and a calming atmosphere.
Fashion can alternate from many different styles in 2021, as people are free to express themselves. However, i wanted to delve into the simplistic, neutral colours theme. This style is very popular at the retail place i work, Zara.
Interior design is very modernised, but usually sticks to a neutral colour scheme, with hints of colour. This means that the design is not completely washed out, but also not overpowered with colour.
Photography now tries to focus more on empowering insecurities rather than poke fun- through trying to capture the beautiful side to it. Insecurities may include skin colour, weight, gender, acne etc. 
Art can vary a lot, however the newer styles are a lot more minimalist such as line art, and militaristic digital art. Below i have included secondary images to represent this, but also my own primary images.]]> 2021-01-12 14:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078677418 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078788341 2021-01-12 14:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078788341 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078790027 2021-01-12 14:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078790027 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078790827 2021-01-12 14:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078790827 Primary image 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078792052 2021-01-12 14:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078792052 Primary image 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078795382 2021-01-12 14:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078795382 Primary image 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078798186 2021-01-12 14:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1078798186 Feedback kafui_avornyo https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1086712286 This is coming together very nicely.

Since i am studying two categories in one- old and then new, i have decided i will research artists that portray the "old" and respond and experiment with that, then research artists that portray the "new" and respond to that, but linking back to the old artist and experiments. I will link them by:
-contrasting the two artists and their messages.
-talking about the similarities between the two.
- for some art i will mix the two old and new experiments together- so that they are connected as one. I will do this by taking ideas from the old experiment (eg colour scheme, style, technique) and mixing with a new experiment to create one piece.
I will also try to research artists who experiment with both old and new.]]> 2021-01-22 12:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113739436 "Old" artist research- Erwin Blumenfeld 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113806764 Erwin Blumenfeld was a photographer who was born in 1897 and died in 1969, from Berlin, who emigrated to the United States, where he became a fashion photographer, working for Harper's Bazaar, Life and Vogue. His wok was particularly best known from the 1940s and 1950's, however i want to particularly look at his work from the 1950's.
I chose Erwin Blumenfeld to study because he fits into my old aesthetic for fashion in the 1950's, this is relevant for the "old" side of my topic.]]> 2021-01-22 12:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113806764 Photography for vogue of Evelyn Tripp- April 1 1953 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113937360 2021-01-22 13:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113937360 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113952234 This is an image by Erwin Blumenfeld of Evelyn Tripp from April 1st 1953, in the year when Queen Elizabeth II was a year into her reign, Audrey Hepburn would soon star, and Yves Saint Laurent was submitting sketches to Christian Dior in the hopes he might land a place in the Parisian atelier.
I believe this photography symbolises a day in the office, through the use of telephones, which was one of the only jobs women in the 50's were aloud. This photo shows the women looking very positive, which could be seen as propaganda towards office work presenting the women as happy with what she's doing, meanwhile many women were overworked, underpaid and bored.]]> 2021-01-22 13:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1113952234 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1114011191 The image uses very bright lighting to create the spring, fresh mood.

I particularly loved this work by Blumenfeld because of the neutral colours of the image. I feel as though the composition also fits perfectly, Pat is positioned well, being the only focus of the piece.

I feel as though this photo also mixes in well with the new fashion trends which i researched last week, so this experiment links to both old and new- it has an old aesthetic, filter etc but the fashion is modern.
I particularly liked the smooth texture of the piece, creating the softness that the colours bring too. I feel like this creates a calming fresh mood.
However, i feel as though i could've gotten the 50's fashion more on point than i did, it has very modern fashion trends- this would've made the piece link even more to my research. Next time i will consider finding or creating older styles of fashion. However, i feel this could also be seen as a positive as i have been able to incorporate my two categories of my theme into one experiment- old and new.
From this, i believe i can find a modern artist and respond to that, and then combine them both together and seeing what sort of image i can come out with and wether i like it or not.

I like the composition of the piece, how i am positioned however i could've improved the face proportions, i think the chin is too large and the lips are too small. I will know to improve that the next time i create a portrait. I like the bold vogue title, the dark title mixed with the neutral tones of the portrait, as it creates a dramatic effect.
However, i believe the face could've been improved by fixing the proportions. To do this, i will fix the shape before painting to prevent this from happening again.The tones could have aswell. The tones were too grey toned and i wish i had warmed it up now. Next time i will include a red into my skin tone mixture.
From here, i would love to study modern vogue covers and compare the two, as the new part of my old and new topic.
From there i want to explore the fashion more. I am going to watch The Queen's Gambit to get 50's fashion inspiration.

He is 26 years old and born in Georgia, America. 
I decided to research Tyler Mitchell because i wanted to show the modern vogue covers in comparison to now to show the old side to my topic and the new and compare the two. ]]> 2021-01-28 16:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137266209 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137311637 I particularly loved this photo he produced of Beyonce with flowers in her hair for the Vogue September 2018 issue. I loved this because of the colour of the flowers, i think the colour scheme makes a youthful and pure feel, as white represents pureness but the flowers give a feel of freshness. 
I also love the how the title is beige from its typical black, which reignites the pure feeling of calmness instead of the striking black. However, this therefore takes the attention away from the title which could be seen as a negative]]> 2021-01-28 16:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137311637 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137462584 This is also a photograph i liked of Harry Styles in issue December 2020. I liked the filters used on the cover, very much retro toned with darker blues. The slight grainy texture also gives this look aswell. However i would've not had the balloon in his face to have his full face in the image]]> 2021-01-28 17:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137462584 comparison 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137530981 From the 1950's Vogue issues to now, there are many differences. Beauty standards were very different, which is evident in this image. In comparison to Erwin Blumenfeild, his artwork particularly photographed white females wearing modest clothing. Whereas Tyler Mitchell has captured things that would've been frowned upon back in the 1950's. This includes black models (as seen on Beoynce's picture) and men wearing dresses (as seen on Harry Style's picture). I believe this can be seen as very powerful to show how the media can influence what should be normalised in modern society. Whereas in the 1950's, views were still very racist, homophobic and misogynistic. 

However, as a similarity i will say that society have still not fully accepted these subjects and racism, sexism etc is still very much a problem.
Image-wise, trend's have changed. Blumenfeild has captured more bright colours, skin was often paler and the style was very modest.
Mitchell however captures modern trends, which has more neutral toned down colours, this is seen as more peaceful and minimalist. ]]> 2021-01-28 17:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1137530981 The Queen's Gambit 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1140577922 To help get an idea and inspiration for 1950's fashion, I watched a few episodes of The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. The Queen's Gambit is a 2020 American coming of age period drama based on Walter Tevis's novel in 1983, which was based between 1958-1968, so the fashion styles are very much dated to around this time.

Also the colours are varied, but always muted. For example sage green, mustard yellow, coral are all muted versions of primary colours. I think this brings a gloomy mood; all the colours seem a bit of a duller version to colours. Nevertheless, i love how the outfits are feminine as they fit well and tailor to women curves. However, this may have been a subtle way to show this through the very mysogynistic times of the 50's. I feel as though alot of these outfits are similar to the Coco Chanel aesthetic with the black border, so they may have  incorporated some 1920's fashion.
This research is relevant to my topic because it helps me get some more ideas of the fashion i am referring to. 
Eventually i will be studying the hidden inferrences and messages between womens fashion in the 1950s vs now, however i want to get an idea of the fashion before i study deeper into that.
From here, im going to create a response to this, then, i'm going to study a modern fashion, and create responses experimenting with materials. To keep this research relevant, i am going to link The Queen's Gambit fashion, ethier by combining the responses or by comparing and contrasting.]]> 2021-01-29 14:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1140840279 The Queen's Gambit, experiment 1- outfit paring 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1158400272 I decided to create my own outfits using inspiration from The Queen's Gambit, using the app "Combyn". The 1950's Vogue covers also helped pick these outfits. 
I felt this was relevant to do because it helps me use my iniative to create 50's fashion. 

The first outfit i decided to use some colour because Alice still wears alot of muted colours and polo shirts. I think the mood is very joyful and is a youthful colour scheme.

I chose to use houndstooth pattern for one as this was very popular in The Queen's Gambit, mostly worn by the character Alice. I feel the second outfit is a bit gloomy colour wise, but professional, with a printed texture.

I am glad i found this app as i believe it will help create outfits since i am studying alot of fashion. I believe this will help plan outfits and show i understand research.

From here i am going to study a modern fashion artist. I am going to focus on an artist rather a photographer/fashion designer so that i can experiment from that research. I am going to incorporate this queen's gambit inspiration within my response to combine the old and new style.

Typically in the 50's, it was a very sexist era, and these types of art were enjoyed by a male audience. Although it showed the beauty of women nudity, and encouraging women to stop following society standards of staying "modest", it also created an unreliastic body standard for women, which probably had a contribution to the increase in body image disorders today. 

This research was relevant in my project to go into more depth than just the fashion. It was still relevant, as this artist shows nudity through the choice of fashion. 
From here, I am going to create a response to this piece.

I love Sarah-Jane Spicer's work, or @art.bysj on instagram. She is a small artist via instagram who paints nude bodies. 
I chose to study Spicer because i wanted to compare 1950's art and portrayal in comparison to now- are women more empowered by public nudity or sexualised? 
This is still relevant research as last time i researched into the promiscuity shown through the 1950's art.

-i like the neutral colour scheme, it creates a pure and calm mood
-i like the shape of the piece, i feel the composition fits well
- i like the mark making of the brush strokes and the splatter that brings a rougher unblended texture
however, i dislike some features:
- i dislike the thickness of the dark outline, this could be fixed next time by using a smaller paint brush
- i wish i had done the skin colour less yellow toned to make it seem more real to actual skin colour, this can be improved next time by adding violet paint to neutralise the yellow tone.
-finally, i could have blended the colours more and will do this next time by working at a small part at a time so i have time to blend it before it dries.]]> 2021-02-25 15:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1241450367 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1243351085 2021-02-25 21:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1243351085 Kathy - 26th Feb https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1244841749 Hi Jess, - there are lots of good ideas shown in your research here, and I think you're onto something interesting with the idea of how fashion, and "fashion illustration" can walk a very fine line between "empowering" women and "sexualising" them.  Your research examples show this very well. 

How would YOU feel today if someone painted you in a 50's style " sexualised" way? What way is appropriate to draw/paint women and fashion today, in a way that empowering and NOT "sexualising" ?]]> 2021-02-26 11:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1244841749 Kathy - 26th Feb cont. https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1244852630 In terms of the artwork that you're generating from these ideas, I like that you're exploring both traditional and digital techniques, and that you're recording the development of your work through several linked stages - well done.
To make this even better, I think you need more quick, experimental sketches and drawings, rather than a few very "worked on" paintings.  I like how your later acrylic paintings of nudes has become much looser and more expressive - I think that's more interesting then the very graphic look of the "Vogue" cover piece". 
Well done for working from primary photos you had taken of yourself - that's a good step.  Try this process again, but this time take a lot more different angles and poses, so you can choose the best composition.
Plan how the outfit and photo composition can be empowering.

Then do a series of 5-10 quick sketches, (10-30 mins), experimenting with different photos to see how they translate into drawings, then take the best of those and experiment with different approaches to developing these creatively to show your intentions visually. Don't spend more than hour on any of the developments - at this stage we want more, quick visual ideas, to help you choose what you want to refine later.]]> 2021-02-26 12:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1244852630 Experiment 1-Helena Wierzbicki, marker drawing 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1244985622 For this piece I decided to try experiment the same piece as the response i created to Sarah Jane Spicer, however using Helena Wierzbicki's style. For this I used copic markers. I started by sketching it out with a pencil then outlining where I wanted the different colours.
Overall I was unsure on this piece. I liked the concept, however I think the pen came out a bit patchy and unsaturated 
However, I liked experimenting and combined multiple colours, it brings an unbeat mood. It is unblended and gives it an almost abstract look.

Although to improve the patchyness I will do a couple layers of the markers. I also want to experiment without the black underline on the breasts as i think it looks messy.

For this drawing I used reference from my candle again. I used fine liner.
I like this drawing because it’s simple but fits in with the new minimalist aesthetic which links even more with connecting the “new” part of my theme old and new. 
I think the lines are very bold which gives it more emphasis
To improve next time I think it would be effective to add some markmaking- such as cross hatching, dotting etc]]> 2021-02-26 13:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1244997944 Process 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1252760693 I thought i would go back to regular body shapes as oppose to abstract, to see which i prefer for my final piece.

https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2020/10/missguided-however-you-nude-empowerment-body-diversity-positive-inclusive/

From my research from articles and my own knowledge, times have changed a lot. Mostly, nudity is very much realistic in 2021. Instead of women showing off airbrushed, photoshopped photos, the intent is different than the 1950's- nudity is usually to empower and normalise insecurities. For example, the missguided article shows off women with stretch marks, darker complexion, bigger sizes- all of which were shamed in the 1950's. Nowadays, alot of the target audience for these nude models is aimed at women and impressionable young girls, to show that these insecurities are normal. However, this is not just the case. There are two sides to women nudity, and as much as there is a side to please women insecurities, there is also a side that is to please men. Although, this isn't always seen on a bad light as much as it was in the 1950's. As much as it still creates an unrealistic standard of bodies that many women won't be able to live up to, and creates a standard for some men, it also creates many jobs for women, which many women only take on if they are fully comfortable and feel empowered by nudity, unlike the 50's, when women's feeling were not typically taken into account, as the government system didn't help out much with lower class females and this was their only hope regardless if they were comfortable or not.

In conclusion, modern nudity still needs improvement and it seems as though it has an even brighter future, however much has changed from the 1950's and it is used as a form of empowerment and embracing insecurities.

-The outline- i made it more steady and a smaller line. This made the piece more defined and more put together and neat.
-i also made the lines closer to the shade i filled it in more so it blended a bit more and wasn't so much of a contrast, to make it appear more muted.
-Finally, i added crease marks, tones all to define the piece more. This helped the proportions also, as it seemed more accurate to my body once definition was added, it wasn't just a straight body, it had a curve which also adds to the realism.
Overall i think the improvements made big differences. I am going to focus on creating a new response and combining these together.]]> 2021-03-15 12:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1310437057 week 10-15/2/2020 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1310603906 -do a final contextual response, and the message behind my final piece

I referred back to sarah jane spicers artwork to help inspire this piece, as she is one of my favourite artists i researched. 
My intention is to combine this art and the work above into one piece. This will help my direction for my final piece as i am going to have to combine old and new together for my final piece.
I am happy with the outcome and i love the abstract look.

Throughout my project, i have alternated from old to new. Towards the end, i looked into how nudity was percieved in old and new. 
I established that nudity is seen as a power move, to show imperfections, and is mainly targetted towards women with insecurities from what they see via social media. Essentially, nowadays we are working hard to destroy the perfect body image that we created through social media and media outlets like playboy, pornographic content and photoshopped photos.

However, although social media was not around in the 50's, the idea of nudity was shamed upon, and if it were flaunted, it was purely just for men satisfaction. In addition to this, Playboy magazines were created in the 1950's, along with pornographic films. However, this was a time period where sexism and misogyny was at its peak, and women nudity was only beneficial to objectify women. Regular, non sex worker women were still expected to cover up in public and were shamed upon. 
This is why whenever i have referred back to a 50's artist or my own 50's art, they have been covered in some way, and always more covered than my 2010's+ art. I want to show the message through my art that nudity should be shown for empowerment and to be realistic with imperfections, rather than to please one gender and one gender only. I am going to do this by combining my "old" and "new" artwork, and contrasting the perceptions then vs now.]]> 2021-03-15 14:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1310985080 Kathy - 15th March https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1311121593 Some very clear explanation of your message Jess, what other visual development work did you do last week? - focus on how you can communicate your message VISUALLY, and work on refining that.

In reply to your email: 
I'm not sure artist research is really the best thing for you to be doing right now - you already have some strong artists that link to your theme well, so I would think you could try to link back to them again instead.  I would summarise that really at this point, new research should be kept to a mimimum, unless you have something very specific that you need.  

At this stage you should be working with improving and refining what you have already experimented with, making your links clear and using your own, earlier work as inspiration for in-depth exploration.  If you worked through the activities last week, then you will have already started this process.

I felt it showed the message that not every body is perfect in today’s society and the abstract art shows that through the curvy lines and the shape. 
I also want to incorporate the ‘old’ and I felt Gil Elvgrin  work could incorporate greatly here, I am thinking of incorporating one of his elements of a piece for example a piece of clothing he used. I’m going to try and alternate two initial designs and develop them and chose my favourite.

I didn’t spend loads of time on this Because this was a more quick idea. I like the idea and I think the coloured pencil could be less patchy. I am going to watch a tutorial and re do this in the future if I think it is my best idea from the two to learn how to make it look better, maybe use different materials. 
What went well:
-the colours are very expressive, spread the message of imperfections and curves
-the lines are very curved to emphasise the imperfect bodies message

I am going to experiment this idea however with different materials, and see which is my favourite. 
What went well:
I liked the mixed media of the graphite and the colour. I think it contrasted each other which was very fitting to link back to my original theme of “old and new”- it shows a clear contrast between the two
-I like the graphite shading, it creates a tranquil mood as it’s very soft. I am not typically confident with graphite 
-finally I like the abstract of the body and the curved lines that I think express my message well.
Even better if:
-I cleaned up the abstract lines a bit
-I watched a tutorial on how to use graphite better as I am not very confident

I really like the final outcome and i prefer it over the real life drawing.
I am going to experiment with one other material and then pick my favorite, then do a final detailed piece.
What went well:
-i love the contrast of colours- it emphasizes the colours
-I think its alot cleaner than the in real life drawing 
- i like the shadows which add definition 
Even better if:
-i added more definition- more shades, i will do this if i take this piece further for my final piece
- i cleaned up some of the lines even more- i will do this by erasing and adding pen to these areas

However, i am glad i still experimented with it to know what materials to use.
FINAL PIECE DECISION:
I have decided my favourite material was digital art. It looked the cleanest and i am the most confident with it.
I am going to keep the same idea however spend more time on it, make it more defined and think about blending the colourful body and graphite together so it isn't as harsh. I will decide if this looks better through my progress photos.

I think this creates an exciting mood, as there is so much going on in the piece. I also like the composition of the piece in the middle, and how the background is quite bare, is it doesn't take away any attention from the women, who is the centre piece of the drawing.
However, if i were to critique anything, it would be the colour of the background, I feel a black would've fitted better, as the red blends in with the colours a bit too much making it not stand out as much as it could.]]> 2021-04-03 12:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1379411963 Broken Women 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1379412845 2021-04-03 12:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1379412845 Solace 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1379413107 2021-04-03 12:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1379413107 Final touches:2 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1379424986

In 1970's, Havard and many other higher education didnt accept women. Money still was 63p compared to every pound of a man per hour.
They organised a strike, during rush hour, sponsored by feminist organisation NOW, in which 50,000 gathered in New York City.

I did this by printing the two pieces and ripping a bit and sticking it on.
I surprisingly liked the outcome, because of the contrast of colour between them both, and the raggered lines of the ripped paper gives an imperfect look about it.

Although, to improve i could've added some more bits on, including more black and white ripped parts elsewhere, to blend it.]]> 2021-04-05 13:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1383091429 Gil Elvgrin, experiment 2- Collage work 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1383093283 I decided to play with collage work for this piece. I like this design as it what i have stuck on definately contrasts to the black and white background, but to improve i should have included Fire Belle's shoes.
The red sun behind Belle represents the fresh start- almost like a fresh day- to womens future and rights, which sits on top of the women's victory article. The flowers also represent this, a brand new corner for women. Belle on top of the article is a visual representation of free women.

I took the choice to not outline the breasts black and i think it looks alot better.

What went well:
-i like that the colours contrast the background so much
- the unusual shape brings a sense of modern bodies message
Even better if:
The colours were more different from each other so they contrasted more
-Adding more detail
I feel this is a great contrast to modern feminism compared to my research on feminist research decades ago, realising that much has changed since, as art and photography expressing imperfect bodies is now spread, not hidden.]]> 2021-04-05 14:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1383379059 1.Outline 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392418123 I started by sketching the outline of the piece on a canvas.]]> 2021-04-07 16:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392418123 2.Colouring 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392419609 I then used red acrylic to colour the body]]> 2021-04-07 16:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392419609 3. Problem Solving 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392421718 I ran into a problem- that the paint was appearing quite uneven and patchy. I decided to add a second layer.]]> 2021-04-07 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392421718 Henri Matisse experiment 1- acrylic paint 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392423878 Here is the complete piece- with the second layer on paint and the foot that i forgot to paint on.
I really loves Matisse's art, so i did an experiment in a red colour. I think the red is really striking and emphasises the body even more.
I think this is a big contrast to Sarah-Jane Spicer, as it is alot more of an unnatural shape, but follows the same idea as Helena Wierzbicki, of the unrealistic body, which almost infers that bodies were not created to be perfect.

To improve this even more, i believe another layer of paint could've fixed it more, as it is still a bit patchy. I think i can solve this by using another material, and seeing if the problem improves.]]> 2021-04-07 16:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1392423878 Process 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404268967 Firstly i did a sketch of what i wanted to do.]]> 2021-04-11 14:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404268967 5. Final touches 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404269582 Finally, i added colourful streaks into the hair, coloured eyes and the vogue title.]]> 2021-04-11 14:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404269582 Final piece 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404270493 In conclusion, I am happy with this piece. I like the abstract colours, and the detail on the face, it adds more definition and makes it more realistic. 
To improve I could have blended the hair highlights more, however I struggled in this area because the software I used is more for abstract digital art and vectors, so blending isn’t an option on it. I worked around it by lowering the opacity every layer and doing strokes. However, I feel it is still harsh. This could’ve been improved by adding more strokes and layers.

The hidden meaning behind this piece is the 50’s nudity opinions compared to modern nudity opinions. In the face, you can see it is black and white, this represents how society was towards nudity. It was very black and white, ethier you had a perfect body and flaunted it to men or you didn’t and you hid it. The body section represents modern opinions, how nudity is now mainly for women to see that everyone is imperfect and we flaunt imperfections, the colours and the different shapes represents flaunting your curves, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation and other imperfections. 
The colour peeing into the black and white face represents the movements society were doing to get to the place we are now. I also added the Vogue title, as the model seems very vogue-like, and vogue was one of the influences towards society today when it comes to female perspectives.]]> 2021-04-11 14:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404270493 How vogue covers helped the movement 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404283709 Typically, vogue captured pictures of women that were considered beautiful. It would show some covers that would've been controversial for its time (etc women in bikinis, promiscuity, unusual trends) which normalised it alot more for the time period. Vogue still continues to do this now, for example the photograph of Harry Styles in a dress, as men in dresses is shamed upon in today's society. ]]> 2021-04-11 14:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404283709 Example 1: Vogue december issue 1989 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404328799 2021-04-11 14:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404328799 Example 2: Vogue July 1953 issue 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404331087 2021-04-11 14:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1404331087 Below i will be answering the questions from this doc 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421263179 2021-04-15 14:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421263179 1.Context 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421266422 a. I believe it was, and i also think it was attatched i have highlighted in green what my intentions were and understanding of my theme.
b. I think it was achieveable and ambitious, however i have highlighted in purple "Every time i do research i will explain why it is relevant to my theme" because although i did not strictly follow this, i believe it was self -explanitory through my inferations and explinations. There were things that i didn't strictly follow, as they may have not fit in or restricted my ideas from progressing.
c. I have related the theme through giving constant contextual research, and explination the hidden message throughout all my experiments and research.

Research 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421435974 a. Yes, i have included my own images and referred from my artists that I've researched. I included my own images in my vogue response, on week 3, my candle on week 5, on week 2 in my aesthetic research, and week 8 on my experiment. 
I have also responded to all my artists i researched, and used their art as reference. Although, there was a slight barrier from using primary images, because i studied female nudity, and that would be inappropriate. 
b. I have mixed two artists styles a few times, this can be seen when i incorporated the vogue painting and added Gil Elvgrin touches to it. Another example of this is when i took my Helena Wierzbicki response but used the body of Sarah Jane Spicer's paintings. 
However, i used my own style by using materials i am confident in using, and incorporated the graphic and abstract touch that is my art style.]]> 2021-04-15 14:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421435974 context examples 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421450540 2021-04-15 15:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421450540 Primary image examples 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421805778 2021-04-15 16:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421805778 Incorporating two artists and my style example 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421828358 2021-04-15 16:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421828358 Incorporating two artists and my style example 19001100_3 https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421829488 2021-04-15 16:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/19001100_3/pvdguuvq4346t5qk/wish/1421829488 3.
