Research - week 6 - 19/03/2019

Research thought process

How will the poster interact with the audience?
Context, will it be taken out of context, how to keep it in context?
Is provocativeness the way to go? or should I look into a non-provocative way to do this and compare and contrast?
what do I what to get across? Consent, maybe I should be more open to different angles of approach
Contemporary and 60's feminist art.

"What I was wearing" - Is an art exhibition was on display are clothes that people were sexually assaulted in. With a small written statement of what happened after or before.
should I look into something like this? Is a sexual approach to this the correct way to go about this?

I want to draw 2 provocative and 2 fully dressed in my test painting that I will be doing. So I can express both views before deciding what to do for my final painting. which is very contradicting because I am open for experimentation throughout this project and no having an idea how my final project will look because I want to be certain about what my final project will look like because I want to keep a lot of things in mind while doing this project because I am doing a subject of 'consent' which is a hard subject for some viewers.

take into consideration of 'male gaze' 'viewer gaze' 'artist gaze' what I view will not be the same as everyone else I want to avoid the mistake of miss communication and having too many ways of viewing the image and not having the message straight to the point.

I don't want myself to be seen as an 'object to view' I want to be seen as a 'subject' because that is what this painting is somewhat about.

My thoughts are very much all over the place but because there are so many things that can go wrong and so many ways it can communicate it. I'm not sure what way is the best way to communicate my message and develop my message.

therefore after my presentation today, Bex has once again informed me to 'narrow down' my question and change it again. though this does confuse me because I am doing what she told me to do last time which was 'make it more personal' which I have. so I'm not very sure what to do now and how to do my work.  As now I am unsure what she wants me to do, and it concerns me on how our views and ideas are very contrasting and not meeting at all.

Though the whole point of my project is to experiment with many ideas and concepts and ideas that I have. Test myself as an artist and be more theory based as I want to be more aware of what I am putting out and the messages I portrait as an artist and are my messages getting across.  I also want to take in consideration of the viewer and context. As I noticed a lot of my work does not have context and I'm just doing what I want without reason and context.

I want to be able to express my opinion and bring things to light to start a conversation, because I have a potion were I can do this.

I know what I am doing has been done before over and over again. though I do wish to do this in my own style and manner.
I also want to experiment a lot and test myself to make sure, that I understand context and delivery of the message. Also because I'm being contradicting with my work I want to make sure that it is communicating my message across correctly for the viewer. 

Bex has also told me to stop with experimenting and start producing, though this what I want to do. So I'm not sure whether or not experimenting with style and presentation is ok or not. The reason why I am not jumping ahead to my final project and how it will be presented, is because of how experimentation is a big key idea of my work.

I am also looking into more than one style, and this year I am pushing myself to be more developing with my ideas and not be so confined as I think that is important as an artist to be able to develop and be open to change and experimentation. Therefore this is why I will not take Bex's advice to stop experimenting as I think it is important for this project and for personal development.

I have made a study plan so I will be able to do what I would like to do and be able to finish it on time. While also having time to experiment and look further into the theory a\side and research side of this project as I think it is important because I am delivering a message and doing something that has obviously been done before.
