My 7 Proposals

I looked back at my previous pieces and had troubles trying to figure out what exactly i wanted to do for my final piece in WASH. Then it kind of hit me as i was looking at certain ones. Here are my ideas:

1). For the uncomfortable video I used lighting and a dustmask to hide myself in the dark and breath heavily, Due to peramiters of the project I couldn't do what i really wanted to do with the video. So for this idea I was thinking of taking the original clip, and doing some video editing to it. Maybe taking the same video file, duplicating it, putting it over the same video but more off center and transperant. then when the darkness comes in I zoom in closer to the face. Oh yeah, instead of having the audio play normally I plan on reversing the audio and maybe some other effects to like a slight echo.

2).The next idea i had was relating back to the modular madness project. The peramiters stated that the piece had to be non-representational, takes up body volume, etc. Well I was actually thinking of using Playing cards once again but making a representational object blown up out of proportion. But the question i came up to now was, what was i going to make. Well i wanted to make something that delt with cards and the main things that came to my mind was Casinos (las Vegas), Magicians, and Alice in wonderland. So i thought that doing a more fictional based piece would be more fun. Like actually make one of the card soldiers out of cards. If i do not go for that idea i may use the cards to make a Magicians hat and the cards spewing out of it with a stuffed rabbit in the middle.

3).Markmaking intrigued me more than what i thought it would when we did the exercises in class. Well every idea i came up with for the markmaking project was representational to an extent, so i think if i were to go with markmaking I will probably create a piece where you can actually make out images using markmaking. To boost the contrast of the piece of thinking of only using Black, White, and Red. I was thinking of doing a a sillouette of a man that is being burdened with all his problems at once.

4). Looking back at what i can remember of how i did preformance wise i felt that i could have done a lot better. The preformance i think i did the best on was the One word preformance. For that one i used my accordion and said the word "tips" as the minute went on i became more desperate as the tips where going to buy me food to keep me alive. Well I felt that tips was an appropriate word for the play but maybe a different word would have been more effective. Like Poverty, Starving, Famished, Suffering. SO i had the idea of redoing this preformance and instead of using one word using four words; Tips, Starving, Suffering, Dying.

5). Mapping project for Lecture was fun, I enjoyed making a game out of it. But that wasnt the original idea i actually had. The original idea i actually had for the piece was creating a sculpture of my back maybe out of paper mache and then drawing the road map of my life down it. WHy the back though right? well my back has been injured the most of my body, Ive had scoliosis for many years, and i never stop those problems from stopping me doing what cant be done with those injuries. So the map would actually be leading from me finding out about my back problem, to all the injuries and the times ive been told i cant do something cause of my back but i did it anyways.

6).The recent color project was enjoyable for me becuase of how i acutally like working with Confeti and this project was pretty similar to it. I would redo this project and go beyond what we did. I would do my style of confetti and create a series to go with it. It will be one picture; A smiling face in the middle, sideways angry face comming off of one side of the smiling face, and sad face on the adjacent side. Each face will be colored in based upon their emotion. and i was thinking of doing this on something bigger like maybe a four by four or a five by five or bigger.

7).a farewell speach as my monolouge
