For my first assignment of third year, I’ve been tasked with bringing together a collection of Objects with artistic proporties, objects that mean something to me and why, So in this project I have chosen ten objects for my fantasy collection, in terms of style, creativity, meaning and overall purpose, thus giving me ideas on how to explore it.
For my collecrtion I have picked:
- Drew Struzan (Movie Poster art)
- Ai Wei Wei (Lego Portraits)
- Leonardo Da Vinci (Medical drawings and Invention Schematics)
- Movie Props (Various Movies)
- Comicbook Artwork
- New York City Landmarks
- Robert Welch (Knives)
- Doc Marten (Shoes)
- William Burges (Welsh Architect)
- Macbook Computer (Apple)
There will be seperate blog posts going into full detail about why I chose them and they mean to me.
What will be my creative approch?
From picking all ten of these choices, I’ve decided that the best approch to combine two of them together, this is so they can both show off their unqiue style together.
Here are some examples:
- I’d take Da vinci and all of work and painting and combine them into a Drew Struzan style poster, this would allow me to show off this paintings and inventions to show first glance on what his work and legacy was about, sort of how Struzans posters showed first glance to the people before they even saw the movies he advertsied.
- I would create Da vinci style schmatics of my favourite movie props, and replicate his style of sketching, the coffee stained styled paper of his drawings, almost in a way that he built them, (e.g: A Lightsaber, The Flux Capacitior, Freddy Kruger’s Claw Glove etc.)
- I would create lego brick style paintings of New York Landmarks or possibly create 3d printed pixel pieces (with painted patterns) that magnetically attach to a framed wooden board with magnets.
