FMP illustration body language

After reading and using the informative pieces of information of 'The definitive book of body language'  a took one of the photos i had taken of random people on the street and drew illustrations after i did that i wrote the descriptions of the people. i was influenced by Dorthy Iannane she expressed her feminist view through illustrations that formed a story board.  In one illustration i had drew it in black pen and in another i used blue water colour, it made the piece united and emphasized parts which showed how they connected. what didn't work was the presentation in my sketch book as the writing covered part of the drawing. If i had the time i would have developed the illustrations a bit more and experimented with different colors and compositions. From these two drawing i hope to carry these to the end as i enjoyed and felt that these represented body language as well as effective. i was surprised by the response of the drawings i wasn't sure f they would come across as well as i hoped but i was proved wrong. In the next stage im planning to take ip the style of Richard Hamiltion work.

FMP The Definitive Book of Body Language

The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease. I have chosen this book because of the reviews. It is a very detailed book which I had to condense to get the information that I found more relevant to me. I had also noticed that I picked up the behaviors of  others around me and it made me realised that when I take photos of random people I had to look out for the most striking body language. It also made me realised I am to focus on the clothing because of the reaction someone gives the and the way someone responds.If i had enough time i would have got peers of mine to re enact this postures and question them or others if they realised if they act this way or would they do it differently if they're aware. what didn't work with this research is that i felt that i hadn't gone into much depth. I had only touch the subject but as i was taking the photos i had notice what people was wearing and they way they had positioned them self and had come to the conclusion that the way people dress them self effects how they're with people and how they react with others.  My next step is to give examples of how people behave and do short videos of people and think about how someone presents themselves.

FMP steps to becoming friends

My project will be about how two people become friends; I will be studying their body language through books I've read. I will be also be looking at Tim Walker and Nick Knight because of how they exaggerate within their photos and emphasis the story they are trying to tell. I will look at Sally Mann who produces  raw photos and the chemistry within the photos really show a story behind each piece. I have picked two females who haven't met before who have contrasts as well as similarities, they will meet and I will document the  progress. By this it will allow them both to build a relationship. At the moment I have an idea for the final photo shoot but the environment will be in the idea of where people meet e.g. coffee shops, university and secondary schools.
My project have flaws so I have decided once i have researched and visited galleries that i will develop my idea to become solid. I will hoe to look in to artists to explore the depths of body language as artist and produce a signature theme to go throughout the project and will see the process of the theme. I hope to create something that might not necessary make a person to understand what is trying to come across but to make you think and relate .

F.P Trend

The focus for the project was trends we had looked run down areas that could have started a trend and bring this area to life. We had chosen Stamford hill, it may not be as run down but it was known for a reputation of having a big community of jewish people. The aim was to introduce feminine feminist too contrast with the community that is already there. But by this we wanted the two parties to get along and have the idea that this trend was developed within the area, so the idea of pretty jewish girls that mix with the Jewish tailored clothing
We had looked at ‘dirty girls’ on youtube which had inspired out hair we had all looked at ‘pussy riot’ who was a feminist group who had used a church as a demonstration.
For the final we had use 3 models we varied the height and colour skin to make it inclusive to everyone. The article we had included their ideas on feminism and about their lives. The point is to encourage tat anyone can be part of this trend and be included .  

F.P sportswear

For fashion promtion the focus was on how to promote the sport, i had researched into horse ridding for showcase and for racing . i had looked at magazines which was more sexual where as when i was looking at Zara Philps and her range was all sensible. From personal experience i knew i had access to horse ridding equipment . So i had decided to mix the old with the new. where horse riders tend to use neutral colours i had decided to use bright colours.
i had used an old whip horse riding hate and gloves. i had an issue with the props as they were to dusty and too small. i also had a few problems with lighting till i had turned on the lights and then shut the curtains. i had still edited the lighting contrasting and brightness. overall with the plain background and simple approach to the promting a editorial effective .

F.P Deconstruction and Reconstruction

For this project the focus is on the deconstruction and recreating a new piece with the pieces we had made. i had not really paid attention to to detail until this task. I had firstly cut up a shirt, jumper, a dress, smart pair of trousers and jeggings, each material had created a different texture making different shape and patterns.
once i had decided from the pieces if material form thedeconstrustion i had decided to make a cloak i had decided because from the trousers the material was stiff enough to be the base and  from the dress the chiffon had created asort of flare for the top and also a piece of embroidery to add to the finishing touches. out of the the rest of the left over material i had turned them intoflowers which was basically scrunched up and sewn by hand to create them.
after the feed back i had then thought of a theme that would compliment the piece . i had thought of a fairy tale theme. I had to think of a way to get the scene across by not overshadowing the main attraction. I had used a cut out tree to create a shadow and used it as the background for my model. i had use one of the roses as a prop which is held up in the model hand, so the attention was on the final piece i had edited out the plug that was in the background adjusted the lighting brightness and contrast to make the picture much clearer.
