yes i have been working..

so here is jess, theme: OUT OF CONTROL.. and control in relationships, as she's my friend! sorta thing.. i wanted to do a painting which stood out more in my exhibition.. so i did this, tihnking i was going to do two other ones as well. buuut it turns out i didnt have time so. i might do one other one as i have a photograph of mieke doing an 'out of control' face, when we get backt o school, and have the painting going on at home as well. but i think this might be enough for one project.. im not sure.. yes? no? p.s. the photograph is pretty bad as my camera broke and i used the webcam haha.. the colours are less dark and dirty actually..

alcohol & the jazz age 1920's

ok so here are some images i stole from pauline, taken at various parties. i really like the effect the camera made, a bit too pink on some parts but i can fix that. i was thinking they portray the use of alcohool in making people lose control of themselves, and the blurriness can relate to being under the influence also. i found an extract from The Great Gatsby which describes one of the parties which i think portrays the use of alcohol in the prohibition period of 1920's, where everyone was just starting to have fun. the use of colour and movement imagery goes really well with these images. i was thinking therefore for my next project to make a photoshop composition of these images, where the forms are all blurred and the colour is very prominent, and maybe stencil some of the extract from The Great Gatsby over it..

yes?

oh and it also ties in with the project which im doing now (control in relationships) as ive done a nice big painting close up of jess crazy face. these photos are also of my friends, so therefore its the control you have over your friends and their control over you.. as well as the alcohol business..
