Tutorial

I had a group tutorial which I involved Tasha with seeming as she filmed the video and was also my model you could say, for the piece. I showed the film to my the rest of the group and my tutor and they all proclaimed that the film and even the stills of the film were a lot more interesting then the still photograph itself. 

The video was also deemed more successful then my paintings and Polaroids  I should stick with my ideas of process and perhaps color but perhaps take my painting away from the canvas and start applying it to people and objects!

I should start with taking Polaroids and using videos of the people as a document.
This for me is a lot more exciting, I feel the video, seeing the process is a lot more interesting then painting from my Polaroids  My Polaroids shouldn't be the most important thing in my project, they should be a means to an end.

This doesn't mean I have sidetracked majorly from my project because I am still focusing on paint, photography, process and color. I am just viewing it in a different way.
This also means I can start looking into Performance Art, all these aims are very much about Performance. As well as the juxtaposition between traditional methods of painting and media - such as photography and film.

IDEAS:
  • Taking the painting away from the canvas
  • Juxtaposition between painting and photography.
  • Paint onto the person - documenting using either film or photography.
