Practice In Action - Portrait and a 6 word narrative
This is a live project of “100s and1000′s” at the BMAG. Designed to encourage the younger generation and public to become creative thinkers, culminating an exhibition with an interactive workshop. My response within this project will encourage visitors to think from an alternative perspective.
The aim for the portrait piece is to reinterperet a painting, sculpture or any piece within the gallery as a portrait. Bringing it to life by exposing the narrative from within the image, as the outcome an A4 portrait as a high quality print upon cartridge paper. I will analyse the chosen art piece identifying a character that I will focus upon to develop my ideas and progress towards my alternative piece.
For my six word narrative I shall have a six sided box (30cm x 30cm) to tell a story in six words on each side of the box. A narrative developed by the portrait , analysing my selected piece and portrait created to build a story and bringing it to life. Incorporating typography which should be significant on all sides using the six words and I should compose a short narrative of 200 words maximum.
The final part of this live brief is the pop up shop. I shall create one book (Zine) plus six postcards which I have two weeks to produce to present in the Curson pop up shop for our pics to be for sale, the money going towards our next project.
