Topic Two: Pattern and Ornament, Part 2 of 2: Research Assignment #2

Research Assignment #2 
 
Despite the blog post and the explanation in class I think I still had a bit of trouble with what this assignment was. We were talking about ornaments and designs, at least 3 different definitions of patterns, and repeating patterns and it was all so much that it just got jumbled in my mind and I was not 100% sure which images would count for this assignment. I tried asking around but the other students actually seemed to confuse me more because they ended up trying to explain to each other their own different understandings so I took a variety just to be safe and separated them into sections. They begin with more general flat patterns which is what people usually imagine and gradually move on to more carving and filigree type looking ornament.

Toilet Paper.
Toilet paper actually has a lot of really pretty patterns and there usually is some sort of texture, I'm not sure you can see it in this image though.

Shoes

I enjoy this repeating pattern.
 
 
 
I will zoom in so you can see the designs better but then look fake zoomed in too close so I had to show this one to prove I really did see it in my normal life. I was in my car with Stephanie Lock and stuck in traffic when I took this image.

WARP: Topic 5; Telling Stories: Comic Poetry

I read two of the mentioned linked pages completely. One about C-Comics and one about the "In Pieces" book by Marion Fayolle . Ultimately I decided to cover a piece by Marion Fayolle where there appears to be a couple that are engaged in a romantically intimate situation before separating and the apparent masculine figure then touches a dress on a tertiary figure which stains his hands blue and provides some sort of proof at attempted unfaithfulness or infidelity or perhaps it is proof that the initial feminine figure did not really know this secondary figure who is now marked as a sort of deviant. Figure one then appears to slap figure two, evident by the handprint on the face of figure two, and then end in a form of separation be it permanent or temporary. A lot of the works on this page and in this book appear to be about feminism, identity, sexuality, gender and gender roles, and similar themes.

Topic Three: Rhinoceros, Part Three Portrait and Propaganda   I chose to do the assignment on my mother. As soon as the assignment was given, I already had a multitude of ideas and immediately started sketching thumbnails. I knew right away that I wanted to do a bunch of pieces in different mediums; everything from collages to videos. Unfortunately I was unfamiliar with most of these methods and did not have time to learn them all. I also initially wanted to display my mother smiling in her portrait and then have my propaganda piece depict her as a stern, authoritative figure. I still wanted my message to be structured the same and similar in concept "The mother you should be" but I realized (as we discussed in class) that because society really only has 1 way to positively depict mothers and motherhood and what it should be, If I did depict my mother as this strong woman who ruled the household with an iron fist (and she does, our household would fall apart witho...
