A week at home
This week we have had reading week, and I was quite looking forward to going home having a nice relax and catching up with some old friends. After the very busy and stressful previous term all I wanted to do was have some fun and have a good time, because I didn’t really get much of a chance to do much else in the past few weeks.
However, where I had not done a lot for our project fashion, art and culture, I felt the need to catch up and have actually spent most of the week doing that. I always feel the need to have everything done right away and I do not like to leave things that I know I will have to do in the next few weeks or days. Therefore, I got started on that, with my research and I feel that I have enough background research now. I looked into all the different subcultures, and found exciting visual images and pictures from each of them. I also found out about their attitudes, beliefs and value systems, and what makes their subculture what it is. I have chosen which subculture I am going to use for my piece and now just need to look at this more in depth and find out some new and interesting things about it.
I want to start taking my own photographs, using the word emotion as the title.
I want to learn about different people’s feelings and emotions and how this leads them to do different things and take different actions.
I want to use this information and put this into different shots in different stances to see what emotions are conveyed. I want to try taking some photos in the style of the EMO subculture. Using black and white images and having one section highlighted in colour. I think this is quite effective photography style and one that I may wish to use for my final photo.
Also this week I have started looking into what question I am going to use for my critical studies essay. When we first got the list of questions one really stood out to me as the one I wanted to do, but when I went back and looked over them there were about 2 or 3 possible questions.
I have now chosen the question, which relates fashion, clothing and gender. This has always been something that I have been interested in and I think having a personal interest will make this more approachable and will be a lot easier for me to write. I have started making some points on the sorts of topics that I want to write about and have started doing some research from different websites talking about the role of gender in fashion. I am hoping to start writing this essay in a couple of weeks, once the fashion art and culture project is really up and running and I can take my focus away from that. Hopefully it will only take a few days to write, so if I can gather all of the information that I want to use by two weeks time that should put me in a good position to finish writing that and have enough time to work on my other piece.
