20/03/12
Seminar Given to Art History Class Feedback:
Egija:

• Nice drawings
• Like that you been looking into different techniques of work
• Your work with ps is interesting (ps = pshotoshop?)
• Showing 3 faces but in reflection more 
• Comic book
• Consider looking back like some demons etc (history)  - in the past people thought shape shifters (related to my changing alien) were as real as anything e.g witch craft..and in art history we looked at a painting with a woman laying on a bed with a gargoyle looking fury monster thing sitting by her...although my alien is not really going to be much of a scare thing

Emma:

• Comic - focus on split personality of alter ego ( continuing to psychologically analyse while surveying alter egos( superheros)
• Looking at more conventional + unique characters that may not sure 'real' human form - deviates - from typical stereotypes  - ( my revesara alien)

Experiments Done:

22/03/12
Im my Fmp time scale so far i had planned to do some research which included looking at Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, gABRIEL bA',  and j.H Williams....However i have done all of my research for up until week 3 but i am a little behind with annotation which i plan to catch up with by next week. Also i haven ended up doing other things which i had not planned or thought about doing before such as creating a logo design for my Comic book company and doing experiments based on some Noir comic covers i looked at. I am pleased that i have started with experiments as i have a habit of making every one of my experiments into a final piece but now i have learned to just leave things which may not be completely relevant to my brief.

I just need to be more focused in order to be up to date with annotations, i am up to date with my journal which i'm happy about.

I have decided that i will be having 3 characters which will turn into six...the heroes and the villains...really there are 9 since my theme is Heroes (the good) Villains (evil twin) and the Ordinary ( the heroes and villains in their ordinary state.... but i will be one of the characters...

It will be me and two other people, i wanted it to be a discovery of other peoples personalities as well as my own and it will be a more exciting adventure if i am taking part in it...in a way it is like I am becoming a child again getting to be in a comic book which i construct and get to do what i want and in a way i am giving the other two people a chance to be who they want and do what they want....

Next week shall be the first class critique and I aim to show my idea development what research I have been looking and and the experiments that i have done so that i can get feedback on how I am doing so far... Am I going towards the right track.

Questions I plan to ask the class are:
 Would you prefer an online comic or hard copy?


I might cut down the number of characters to 2 so i will end up with a maximum of 6 individualistic characters..... the main thing is just to show 3 different personas so it would not matter if I took part... i shall leave myself out of the comic book and base it on two chosen people...
