Developing Through Images.

DEVELOPING THROUGH THE IMAGES.

This image above is an extract from my sketchbook. The photograph shows one of the manipulated photographic pieces and thoughts with drawings. The photographic image on the page is of the two images, one face laughing other myself twirling, I personally feel there is an eeriness to the image. Another thought is that where the mouth should be on the portrait, is where the skirt is from the full body. Insinuating sexuality, innocence.

‘Brick By Brick’

Another thoughts, the bricks throughout the image each tell a story, the stages throughout the day/night drinking process. Drawing of the stance, quite masculine. Comparing women & men. Masculinity.

(image above)
Although the light is reflecting quite badly off the photographic image on the left, you can still make out that it is another manipulation photograph. Again I have drawn on from the image, creating a different type of piece. Possible thought of a series of pen drawings.
‘EYES’ the eyes cannot be seen in the image from the portrait, there are a mixture of colours which portray different emotion. (Will carry on to the mood & emotion chart later on) The face is laughing but blurred into the other picture, cannot see it clearly but gives a certain creepiness. The mouth area has light, natural colours and tones coming through.

(above) The image is a close up of one of the photographs produced. Image of Masquerade mask, Negative, Darkness. Different colours to indicate different feelings, patches of emotion throughout the journey of being intoxicated.

COLOURS AND MOODS.

‘Colour without our realising it, can have a profound effect on how we feel both mentally and physically.’

Looking through the list from the link above, here are the moods I have picked out associated with the colours that I think would connect with the feelings and happenings from being intoxicated. Words you would associate when drinking alcohol from past/present experiences, including the aftermath of the drinking.

BLUE – Trust, Truth, Confidence, Loyalty, Depression.
BLACK – Power, Sexuality, Evil, Unhappiness, Sadness, Anger, Death.
GREEN – Generosity, Jealousy, Envy, Misfortune.
ORANGE – Energy, Enthusiasm, Flamboyancy.
PURPLE – Loyalty, Transformation, Cruelty, Arrogance.
RED – Love, Danger, Desire, Speed, Strength, Violence, Anger, Blood. Red Can ‘Evoke’ A Fight.
White – Humility, Youth, Good.
YELLOW – Joy, Happiness, Imagination, Dishonesty, Betrayal, Jealousy, Deceit, Illness, Hazard, Inspiration.

I am going to use references from the colours into the work. Linking up emotions and feelings by the colour scheme. Picking out which words describe and fit with the moods of the picture, to indicate some of the emotions of the photographs.
