Lips

some of my ideas..

i want to use bright viberant colours like the ones used here.

mosaic lips

 I want to base my project on on key aspect of gossip which is lips. Lips to tell lips to share lips to spread rumours etc. I want it to have a strong message and for people to understand but i also want to have other aspect to it.:
web of lies

grain of truth

white lies

green with envy

black hole

two faced

I want each piece to have its own background story

I'm going to use a broken teabag to represent my grain of truth, i will set up my piece so the grains are trailing across the scene. I want to use the web of lies as a design aspect of it, maybe have cobwebs or entanglements on my pieces. For the white lies i'm going to leave part of one of the cups white and write with white on top of it so that the viewer has to search for what it reads. Each of my cups will have a character. Two faced or green with envy. I don't have it totally figured out but thats the direction i'm going in.

Development to tea sets.

I first was looking at expression and the reactions of one when lying. I wanted to focus on making the main signs of deception. Evil grin, whispered gossip, hurtful smile, entangled story.
I went on from my research into expression and lies and ended up looking farther into gossip, a very intriguing form of lying. It deals with a malicious type of lie, the exageration/embellishment of a story. I really want to bring that evil type of gossiping into my piece.
From there I thought of ideas for my narrative and a few different thing crossed my mind,, but i went with a tea set/ tea party. Typical social gathering for a gossiping session. I then went to look at different types of tea sets..

Funny faces!!

Some pieces i looked at, i want my pieces to have character. I thought these pieces were very entertaining and had a story behind them. I want my pieces to have that quality.

The narative project.. ceramics.
i'm basing my narrative project on ''lies''.
web of lies, spiders, spining out of cortrol, entangled, i want to look at human expresion and emotion when lying.

material!!

after pulling shapes from the paper shapes we moved on to material.. we cut out our shapes in a light weight, a medium weight and a heavy weight. I used lining for my light weight , jersey for my medium and a felt material for my heavy. out of them i found the one that worked best was my light weight, it created great shapes and looked very interesting. I expected my heavy weight to be the best but it wasnt , i found that the medium weight was hard to gather but it fell beautifully so it gave a great effect.

Some of my paper shapes

we had to cut out our shapes in brown paper and using that cut out create shapes on the mannequin..
i found the paper held its shape well and i got some nice shapes from it. i found my first shape was better thatn the second but i still got some interesting shapes from the second shape.
