Thursday Thoughts A Selbe 9.17.09 Ideas

I have a meeting today, so have been preparing for it. I have been gathering my ideas and answering the question why...

I feel very comfortable with the plan that i have in store for this semester.

Calm and Chaos “Diptychs”

- I originally started this project because I wanted a way to deal with my anxieties.

- This project will hopefully through the process help me cope with anxieties that I experience often. I hope to be able to find myself a “calm” place in my mind to deal with my own issues.

- Why did I choose the words “Calm and Chaos” ? The two words not only roll off the tongue well but they express the parallels I want to show in my work. The chaos that I experience from anxieties and the calm I need to find to cure myself.

Visually I want to show people

- The balance that can occur between calm and chaos.

- I am going to show that through the contrast of the calm and chaos and bringing them together by the similarities in the formal aspects of the image.

The Plan

- Shooting- First I am starting with shooting some chaos pictures, then I will plan from that point. I will shoot these within the next week.

o Breaking glass

o Dropped egg

o Blurred images

o Abstraction with movement

- Time management-

o Sept 20- shoot and edit the 4 chaos ideas. Plan some calm images to match

o Sept 27- shoot calm images and combine into 4-8 diptychs, decide where to go from there.

o Oct 4

o Oct 11

o Oct 18

o Oct 25

o Nov 1

o Nov 8

o Nov 15

o Nov 22

o Nov 29

- Goals for next two weeks

o To have 4-8 possible final diptychs

o Plan after this is done

Process and Presentation ideas

- People suggested for me to combine the two images (calm and chaos) together.

- I want to experiment with different ways of presenting diptychs

So now that I have my plans all worked out, I am going to start shooting like crazy and challenging the ideas i have set forth to make them better and more . Questions i will be asking myself is:

Is this working?

How can i make it better? are my ideas clear? too clear?

Are my pictures too simple or too distracting?

How can i make this into something noone has seen before?

I am excited for my meeting tomorrow and nervous to hear what challenges i am given!
