The Tate Modern exhibition

Looking at those totally different artworks I got inspired again. Even I have been to the Tate Modern before I enjoyed discovering new details which I have not recognized before.

Each artist has its own history and point of view which he/she expresses in his/her art.

What I also appreciated is that art can be used to convey feelings or protest against something. It does not always have to look beautiful. Almost every artist wants to draw attention to a topic which causes people suffering.
Furthermore I loved about this exhibition that the Tate Modern has so many various artworks like paintings, sculptures and photos.

For example the painting ´Weeping Woman 1937´ by Pablo Picasso is based on the bombing of Guernica by the German force during the Civil War. Picasso wants to convey sadness and suffering to the audience by painting an abstract woman holding her dead child. At first it looks confusing but after looking at it for a longer time it conveys the pain and suffer of the mother.

A totally different kind of artwork by Kaveh Golestan explores the plight of people living on the margins of society. He photographed prostitutes in the 1970s in Tehran. While taking those photos Golestan experienced the ´social, financial, hygienic, behavioural and psychological that exist in everyday society´.
In these photographs Golestan tries to show another part of society. To wit the people that are living under bad conditions.

In my opinion is it important to have a look around and explore other parts of society by dint of art and not just by watching the media. That is because the media tries to manipulate the watcher to reach their goals.
For example politicians who try to get as much votes as possible and therefore they might just show one point of view.
A lot of times are artists looking for black space which is not discovered yet. They are looking for the negative things that for instance political actions causes and show a wide range of different feelings and experiences.
Therefore I think it is important to look at both, the media and art, to build an own opinion because nowadays are the media and art as well as a lot of other things connected with each other.

British Values - Individual Liberty

The country Britain not only stands against terrorism and discrimination but also fights against those issues to protect society. The Prevent Strategy was set up in 2006 by the government to stop people supporting terrorism or becoming terrorists. The strategy is subdivided in three major aspects which are challenging the ideology that stands for terrorism, protecting innocent people and supporting those sectors which have a risk of radicalization. To prevent that young adults or even children turn into terrorists the government developed the Equality Act in 2010 which tackles inequality and prevents discrimination against people with 'protected characteristics' inside public schools. Examples for 'protected characteristics' are the age, disability, sex or sexual orientation, the religion, etcetera. In fact of that the British Values are defined as "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with differe...

Process - Art Fund - Live Brief

This life project was different from the project we had worked on before. That is because the project brief is written by an existing company called Art Fund which wants us to create a campaign in their name that can drive sales of the student art pass amongst university students. Because of that we had to follow guidelines such as using their colour palette, font style and layout. The brief also gave us key insights in students lives as well as the key message which had to be express through our design to make the concept clear. I started with writing down the main aspects which the student art pass offers and what the company wants me to convey. Then I listed facts which needed to be considered for my campaign. My first idea was to design the student pass out of error windows which appear on the computer when an error happens. This idea was caused by the thought that students are mostly using computers and phones and are all of their free times onli...

Photo Sequence

The task was about teaching us how to create a story by using photos. The importance of that is to think about different aspects as we take them such as the composition, framing, light, location, shape/ form, texture/ line, colour, (a)symmetry, narrative, depth of field and the reveal. All in one it is necessary to know how to convey the story to the viewer so they would get affected by it. My story is about a girl which is bored and does not know what to do at first. After a while she has the idea to turn on some music so she could dance and jump on her bed. Suddenly she loses the control of her body and falls down to the floor. The story ends with her laying on the ground and not moving. The setting is a bedroom. In the picture is seen a bed, door, bedside table with a lamp on it, a music speaker and a picture in a frame hanging on the wall. I choose the room because it should look like an average room for a teenager. Furthermore should the room be clean so it w...
