I started my 3rd in-class project today. I had gotten this idea before break started, but I hadn't really solidified my thoughts. I was inspired by an NF song in which the lyrics are "Somethin' funny’s goin’ on up in my house/Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out/You know, pack my cart, take a new route/Clean up my yard, get the noose out." When I listened to those words, I envisioned a person with a house instead of a head. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to give this mental image I had created a tangible quality; I wanted to make it into Art.
We don't have very long for this project, so I am going to keep the main body very simple -- maybe just a black outline of the contours and light shading. I was talking to Coach Hall about collage, and he suggested incorporating a photographic element. I would like to use photography for the small figure balancing on the knee, whose purpose is to write words onto the house as if giving it a new paint job. The concept is revitalization; "home" (as in self) improvement. I will likely model for both figures. The house will probably be plain, but I carefully planned the dimensions because I want for there to still be an element of realism in the dimensions, plus I like the idea of distorting the perception of depth. For emphasis, think that the small person will be the only thing in color. I have not decided on what exactly I will be writing on the house, but something original. It will likely not be a poem (as I usually write), but more of an essay or reflective piece. I went ahead and designed the house first so that I could base the dimensions of the two people off of it. Hopefully this plan works out well. I am hoping to create something simply crafted yet powerfully designed.
