Additional Idea

White blood cells, SEM

P248/0249 Rights Managed

Caption: White blood cells. Colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of T-lymphocyte white blood cells or T-cells in the cortex of the thymus gland. T- cells are involved in tracking down and destroying invading organisms, such as viruses and bacteria. They are produced in the bone marrow but complete their development in the thymus. The thymus is situated at the base of the neck. Magnification: x1250 at 6x7cm size.

I LOVED THIS PHOTO

SEVERAL REASONS FOR THIS

1) IT TRACES THE WHITE CELLS MOVEMENT 

2) IT COMPLETES MY INTENSION OF MAKING A BEAUTY OUT OF THE TRAGEDY 

3) GIVES A IMAGERY OF FLOWER AND TREE WHICH SYMBOLISES NATURE's BEAUTY

The Schedules

Materials UPDATE :D

After few changes have been adopted to my BOW, i have updated my materials list with new stuff.

Here is the LIST:

I have planned to get those MDFs and Coating paints from Bunnings /Carlingford this WEEKEND.

I KNOW i am pulled behind a bit, I may rush to catch up with my progress :(

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESS

My BOW has both strength and weakness and i have listed these below.

SO FAR...

STRENGTH:

- embodied with a personal narrative

- very strong ORIGINALITY; since every designs are created or re-created by me

- contains elements of POSTMODERN such as irony, satire etc

- has an element of a surprise; a REVERSAL which directly impact the audience

- put a comment on the medical based society, but targeting overall audience

- Simplistic Design; a neatness of the design; the clean tone

WEAKNESS:

- (maybe) Repetitions and Simplistic designs; simple design might not attract few people

- may require more insights (information) for the audience to understand the artwork

MDF board Experiment

After a short experiment/ POSCA Paint Pen on MDF board

Few problems occurred:

- takes too long to dry which would affect the progress of developing the artwork
- due to that, colours would easily blend together
- when paint is dried, it would sometimes create little cracks, destroying the tone
  (if confused, take a look at the image below)
- may require multiple coats over the paint as the board would not absorb the colours properly

Material CHANGE

I have decided to REPLACE the canvas with wooden MDF boards.

The reasons include the following:

- improves the tone (colours)
- improves the neatness and details of design
- maximises the durability
- solves the hardness of applying colours when done on canvas
