15. 11. 2021- 21.11. 2021
Object1: Re-concept and modelling
Object2: sketch and modelling
I hope to use the library a bit more next week.
OBJECT1
As a hanging object, the plastic bottle is not visual enough and it is a very personal object. The next step in the project is an abstract but recognisable image. The material for the hanging object is to try ceramic or model clay.
SUPREMATISM Explained
Suprematism
Term coined in 1915 by Kazimir Malevich for a new system of art, explained in his booklet Ot kubizma i futurizma k suprematizmu: Novyy zhivopisnyy realizm (‘From Cubism and Futurism to Suprematism: the new realism in painting’). The term itself implied the supremacy of this new art in relation to the past. Malevich saw it as purely aesthetic and concerned only with form, free from any political or social meaning. He stressed the purity of shape, particularly of the square, and he regarded Suprematism as primarily an exploration of visual language comparable to contemporary developments in writing. Suprematist paintings were first displayed at the exhibition Poslednyaya futuristicheskaya vystavka kartin: 0.10 (‘The last Futurist exhibition of paintings: 0.10’) held in Petrograd (now St Petersburg) in December 1915; they comprised geometric forms which appeared to float against a white background. While Suprematism began before the Revolution of 1917, its influence, and the influence of Malevich’s radical approach to art, was pervasive in the early Soviet period. © Grove Art / OUP
Structuralism and Semiotics
Words that evoke feelings
I will think about what I often see and what often happens in my daily life.
-It gets dark very early and the days are very short
-Crows and seagulls
-Pigeons
-Foxes
-Lots of yellow leaves
I then spoke these words to the others and asked them how they felt about the word. The final choice was a black sun, a raven, a white rose and a white bird.The final choice was a black sun, a raven, a white rose and a white bird. These words also have many different meanings in British culture.
IF THE RAVENS LEAVE THE TOWER, THE KINGDOM WILL FALL...'
The Tower of London
Eleven ravens dancing round a black sun.
Readjusting the balance in a new environment to pursuit of pleasure reduces pain.
OBJECT2
This is your Text paragraph. It’s a great place to add a description of your business, your site or what you do. Use this space to add information for your users, write about your philosophy or your journey and define your distinguishing qualities. Consider adding an image for extra engagement.
THREE IDEAS
What is the value of an object to us? How much of the value is taken up by function?
Does the object serve a function or an emotion or something else?
Does more functionality mean better design and satisfaction for people?
TEAPOTS
I would like to try to break down the idea that more features in a product does not mean a better product. I wanted to choose teapots, which are very common in life and are important in British culture, but also in Chinese culture. This common habit also represents a common sense or stereotype. I wanted to go for a humorous approach to answering the question I posed.Products that focus only on functionality don't always seem to be better designed. Functionality can mean not working well.
SPOONS
Is the spoon an item used by one person? Can I have sex with someone while using it? Can an object be used in different ways by different people looking at it?
I would like to make a spoon with many heads and then look at the item with different people. Everyone came up with different ways to use it, which I thought was interesting. An object can hold a lot of possibilities.
CUPS
A cup is used in life as a container. What are the possibilities if the cups are combined or if second-hand items are randomly selected and combined again?
