Has technology eg. the internet replaced Faith & Religion?
How today's culture has lost the messages brought forward by religion.
Just a thought.. Still linking alcohol into this project I am going to look into youth culture. How religion effects the youth culture today.
With the spirit of being young and making mistakes, the 'no responsibility', would it help if religion was more available to the youth?
Regards to work, how would we represent it to youth culture?
I done a quick sketch of the famous rock guitarist 'Slash' using pen. I also added the quote from the front of a leaflet I got given. Its simple but yet representing a message into now from the traditional side.
Would it change things?
I experimented on a couple of other drawings also.
The image above is just what came out of my head, a young girl who is meant to look plain and innocent. My thoughts are that alot of religious groups tend to target the weak. Someone who has had a lot of trials and tribulations in life and have no where else to turn to but to religion. I feel as though religious cults are quite powerful in how they work. I need to research more into religious groups and see if they actually are a good thing, as you do hear horror stories. I need more of an opinion on this matter.
The image above here is of a girl/boy who have piercings. I felt as though I needed to draw someone with facial piercings as I have many myself and feel as though I am targeted alot by many different religious organisations. I also wear alot of dark clothing so tend to be approached by many organisations and being asked many questions. I have also been told by a foreigner who was holding up a board for religion, to stop wearing black.
Why is wearing black a problem?
We fight for our own independance, we are all alike, yet we are targeted because of our choice in clothing.
The image istelf is drawn onto an A4 piece which is folded in half, as I thought of a possible idea of creating a booklet or again a flyer.
The image above here is the inside of the leaflet. It was just an idea, of what to put inside. The quote again, a chorus of lyrics from the song 'Devil' again, and using music notes around for if a youth was to pick it up would hopefully be interested in reading it. A quick sketch of a stereotypical 'devil' is at the bottom left corner with a skull and crossbones on his shoulder. This could offend someone, perticulary someone who is strongly religious. The idea is not there to offend anyone but just to point out, religion is all around yet it seems invisible and people dismay it, there must be a reason for this.
These images here are quick pieces I created using the words Mike had re written with Limp Bizkit songs.
'Limp Bizkit' are a NuMetal band who have been around for quite some time now. Deciding to use this band was so that if youth like us, who hang out in the same areas, seen or noticed this piece on a wall (could be made into big posters) then they would recognize the lyrics but also know that the original script was from the bible. Its just an experiment, hopefully which will lead on to plenty of others.
So with this project, we are questioning youth culture, related to alchohol and drugs. We are also questioning the morals of religion, bringing the two together, exploring both Alcohol & Culture.
My aims from now are to photograph more young people. I want to go to venue's and clubs and capture youth in the moment. I want to take these images and study from them, draw from them.
