What is a Cabinet of curiosity A Cabinet of curiosity is a collection of unique and unknown items they were very popular between 15 and 1700s, before the rise of cinema, film, photography and easily accessible transportation. Since they were the main and sometimes only way that people of lower classes could see things from other parts of the world. The curiosity could also be you to tell a story or event however this might not be clear to the viewer that it might only be recognisable by the maker of the Cabinet of curiosity.
Idea generation 500 word explanation part1 • To start off with my interest in fantasy started at childhood. It began with my disability putting me in a wheelchair this then led to kids at school picking on and bullying me. This then led to my social difficulties developing this then led to redeveloping escapism. (Escapism refers to a situation where someone constructs fantasy and make-believe worlds to escape from the hardships of real-life this illness Led me to put myself in counselling sessions. • Then as I can in the back story that look into the fantasy that interest me. We begin with film Disney after all Disney films I’ve seen the three main ones that have inspired me over the years would be the Jungle book, Peter Pan and the lion King. The next film’s set of animated films inspire me the most were DreamWorks Shrek, kung fu Panda and how the train and Dragon and its spin-offs TV series Dragon Riders of Berk. The two main film series I watched going up were Lord of the rings and Harry Potter these films are very popular with our growing up so I naturally got drawn into them. James Cameron’s Avatar was a film inspired me a lot in my graphic field and animation field due to a state-of-the-art CGI and special effects it was also influenced by a long love of sci-fi. The
Idea generation 500 word explanation part2 • three main sci-fi as I have enjoyed are Star Trek, Doctor Who and Star Wars. This sci-fi interest would also lead to me taking a great interest in many games such as Halo, Mass effect and ratchet and clank. Another thing that would inspire me to play games was how restraint I felt by my body such games as assassin’s Creed increase my escapism that I could. I knew I was physically incapable of doing in real life. • The Animation section I first got into by watching the Disney films listed above and watching Saturday morning cartoons such as Looney Tunes on BBC and Transformers on ITV but follow my biggest inspirations was Scooby Doo which I got into while I was in St James’s Hospital having operations performed on my arm. It was also around this time I first got into comic books this was also inspired by Saturday morning cartoons of famous comic books such as Spiderman, X-Men and Batman. However I would not get fully into books until year seven of my school year when we have a visiting of called Peter J Murray who presented his book Mokee Joe which became the first full paperback book for me to both own and read. I would then go on during my years at secondary school listen to lots of audiobooks while doing homework. This would inspire me to read these books series such as Redwall, Narnia and inheritance cycle.
concept 1 • This is my first concept idea I came up with after receiving the project brief. It is a very simple idea of a normal box with colleges of images from the different medias listed above fixed to the sides.
Concept 2 • This is my second concept idea this is my first concept idea for a virtual box it was inspired by Dr who’s tardis in the way worked was by spinning round on the spot then the doors opening to reveal a different theme of images.
Concept 3 • My third concept with a return to a physically built piece of work it was a simple scroll with some visual images on it that’s moved and changed as you move the handle on the far side. Roller handle.
Concept 4 • Concept idea for an my final concert idea was and other animated piece based around the idea of the old film spinners. It will be made with a large hexagon with a couple of images placed on each face of the hexagon. It would then rotate at high-speed to be an illusion of the images moving and blending together.
Visualization sci fi • This next slide shows a concept idea for the visual language. That would be used in my box this is my sci-fi move board it combines images of Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Stargate and Andromeda.
Self critzation of work so far • To start by criticising my work so far while I have come up with a main theme for my project and four possible roots for it to take. I still am not clear on the visualisation and have not managed to understand how to use symbolic and metaphors to tell my story. I also feel that I might change the plan of this project a bit due to the fact I cannot in good faith say that. I am completely comfortable with diving into my troubled and in some cases painful childhood memories. for that reason I have spoken to my tutors about some of these problems mostly the metaphor and symbolic one and have this and have decided to do a section of in-depth research help me better metaphors and symbolisms in art “
joseph cornell • Joseph Cornell was not a sculptor, a draftsman, or a painter. This internationally renowned modern artist never had professional training. He was first and foremost a collector. He loved to scour old book shops and secondhand stores of new York looking for souvenirs, theatrical memorabilia, old prints and photographs, music scores, and French literature. • “http://www.josephcornellbox.com/lifeart.htm” Cornell Family, c. 1915 Joseph Cornell Study Center,Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.
