First Year | LSAD Project: PLAY

[k00275297]

Project Statement

My project is based on the word "play".

I started out focusing my project on how play is related to body image and body confidence, and how society views it.

I felt I was running into a dead end with it, so I decided to explore my options by referring to the mind-map i created with my peer group at the start of the project.

I then decided to branch out to play through self expression and identity through makeup, fashion etc and focused on the makeup aspect of it, as I can directly relate.

Through this, I'm exploring play through self portraits, and I'm currently playing around with merging self portraits of me with makeup vs self portraits of me without.

Personally, using makeup allows me to both gain confidence and express myself at the same time, and I'm attempting to analyse how i feel in makeup and without, so i can project it into my sketchbook.

6. NOV. 2021

Playing around with self portraits, merging my face without makeup with my face full of makeup. i wanted to explore the difference in my appearance with and without makeup, as well as play around with the colour of the undertones of my skin

PLAY project

using hard pastels in my self portrait to introduce a little more movement. I think i'll attempt this on a self portrait without some makeup too , and see how differently i view and visualise myself

Working on completing more self portraits to help visualise play through self expressio, and in this case, through my use of makeup too :)

PLAY project

Self portrait to help further my exploration of PLAY through self expression and self discovery !

I'm thinking of doing self portraits in full makeup and then doing some with none at all, to compare them beside each other and possible collage them in the future

PLAY project

Changed my view if the word PLAY, and decided to branch out into self expression and self discovery through playing around with makeup, clothing and identity.

I started off with some beauty products near me, my hairdryer and makeup brushes as theyre things i use pretty much daily, and are an important part of my routine.

PLAY project

Starting this project out, I wanted to focus on body image/confidence and the availability of products towards certain people compared to others.

2.OCT.2021 PROJECT: RADIUS

With the theme radius, our peer group wanted to link it while remaining individual, to show our own personal radius that related to ourselves.

For me, my radius was everything I was able to see from the desk of the accommodation I recently moved into. Limericks a new experience for me, I've never stayed here before so I tried taking in as much as I could possibly see before me.
