For the third week of the final major project I researched my topic of Transformation further however during my research it led me to look at different aspects of the topic.
Transformation slowly led onto the topic of disguise which then led onto the idea of lies. While I was looking at the idea of lies I started to also explore both secrets and the truth as it related to the topic.
During this week I was also able to visit the British Museum and take a look at their African and Aztec mask collection as well as gather some inspiration from the other works that are displayed at the museum.
Another museum that I was able to visit this week was the Design Museum where I got to go to two exhibitions, one being the "Hello, my name is Paul Smith" exhibition. The Paul Smith exhibition was intriguing and unique which allowed it to be very inspirational to me and I was able to experience things that were part of Paul Smiths life.
We were able to experience being inside of his head and listen to his thoughts.
I also went back to looking at the different genres, uses and types of masks.
Genres: Drama, Horror, Mystery, Fantasy, Sadness, Crime, Comedy.
Uses: Protection, Disguise, Performance, Entertainment.
Types: Full face mask, Vertical half mask, 3/4 mask, Horizontal half mask, Classic half mask.
After this research I looked at how much a person has to cover their face before they become unrecognisable and so I experimented with this idea by covering people's photographs in different ways to see at which point someone becomes disguised, with the obvious result being the full face mask being the winner.
At this point I was still also experimenting with different types of illustrations such as pencil drawings, water colour paintings and pen drawings.
