Year 1: Term 2: Project 6: The Nature of Things

After having a crit with my tutor and peers, we discussed that for my final piece, i should make posters using the characters and information about the beach and sea, out of wood, hardboard and paint. I should then go down to Dungeness and take photos of them next to the objects the characters came from.

Here is the preparation of the posters:

Year 1: Term 2: Project 6: The Nature of Things

I came up with a few new ideas for my characters:

1. Is to create recycling posters using my characters to appeal to children (As there is a lot of rubbish dumped on the beach of Dungeness.

2. Is to create a activity pack using my characters, so that when children come down to Dungeness they have something to do.

Below is the examples of my posters for recycling and the activity pack for children:

Year 1: Term 2: Project 6: Nature of Things

Project: Nature of Things

Brief: Explore the area of Dungness. Look at the things you find; think of their origins, real or imaginary, history, memory, meaning, trajectory.

Make drawings, maps, photographs, recordings, diagrams and notes on site.

Take this information back to the studio and create narratives, for instance; type, film/sequence, drawing, text, sound or performance.

Here are a few photos i took of Dungness, i found it a very strange place to be in.

The only idea i could come up with after visiting Dungness, was that i saw faces in some of the pieces of machinery, wood and rubbish and thought of turning these into characters to create a story.
