Description
This is my half-term's work and final piece.
Thank you to my art teacher, Miss Steel, and my class for helping me with this; giving me their opinions on my ideas, and commenting on the final piece
The coloured version: [link]
How does this relate to your theme 'Tangled?
Development:
I liked the idea of materials like string and fabric wrapped around the body. I researched into mummification, because it's a familiar topic to me, and I enjoy studying it. I then looked at mummification in photography and fashion.
Experimentation
I experimented with pencils to draw from reference photos; white pencil on dark paper to draw a ribbon (which I'll upload shortly), and even tried to make a collage of a ribbon (which I did not manage to finish due to it's rubbishness!); and used felt-tip pens in my less dominant hand to create a tangled outline. We also did mono printing, which I found all right, but I didn't like drawing into the polystyrene... felt weird.
Recording
I took photographs of myself wrapped in garden rope, like a mummy - even before I wanted to do something relating to mummification. I chose to stick with drawing in ordinary pencil, because it's my strongest medium.
Presentation
I mounted all of my experimentations up, with annotations, clearly explaining why I have done/drawn something the way I have, on four separate sheets of black a2 paper.
Final Piece
This is Lady Justice in her own scales, to represent tangled emotion. Her clothes and the larger scale version of her are wearing loose clothing which is tangled. A chain and ball are around her feet - I chose this to represent irony; they're weighing a Woman of Justice down and that the actual chains are tangled. The sword she's holding is Sting from Lord of the Rings, which has a tangled pattern on it - plus I love Lord of the Rings.
I chose Lady Justice because there was one thing that reminded me of mummification. Her blindfold. It's a single piece of flowing, tangled material that is wrapped around her eyes. There need not be lots of tangled materials to show that this relates to mummification and the Tangled theme. The research behind it, and its simplicity makes it a very strong piece in my own eyes.
