Week 6ix with Kurt.
Late posting. It'sbeen quite a busy couple of weeks. I feel super tired and like I'm catching a cold, so I had better take some airborne, slow down, reassess what I have to do and when I have to get everything done.
Week 6ix meeting:
Thoughts. I've been looking for warys to align my love of painting the figure Baroque style and leaving evidence that a person such as Red Riding Hood could have really existed at one time. That maybe Perrault wrote about a real person and marginalized her tale into a moral story of the day. I've started reading more about the author in an attempt to understand the world, in France during the 1680s – 1700s. It's truly a fascinating time.
I'm creating something from what seems like nothing (only words on a page that have changed over the years.) I have to use some of my beliefs, imagination and re-invention skills while continuing to the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
I'm creating a situation where belief must be suspended for a moment. I can make artifacts from what I imagine Little Red's life could have been like. Like Willy Wonka and the use of not real artifacts. Some concepts that come into play with this plan are "Words to Know." What I mean by words to know is, I have to be able to draw so I don't feel badly about my craft. How much of it is me and how much of what I plan to create is reacting to the live model? Kurt pointed this concept out to me. Authenticity and believablity. How will I age the paper to make it look like it existed all of this time from the 1690s? Are these the actual items or replicas? I am attempting to take an ordinary thing and make it beautiful.
Artists to look at:
Rodica Prato. I couldn't find much information on her other than at Amazon.com. She has participated in illustrating many books. Kurt really likes her work and remembers how she was a contributor to Martha Stewart's published work at one time.
I first learned of Andrea Sher from Danny Gregory's blog site Everyday Matters. Both blogs are filled with inspired and considered thoughts about design, work and how to continue working on designs if that is your interest.

So many natural disasters are happening in the world. The most recent being the earthquake of 7.9 magnitude in Pakistan.
