#viscoml4

In today’s lecture I learnt about how to interpret the world around me and that like sound, too much visual stimulation can lead to mental fatigue and overload. I particularly found the video clips of a train in China and a busy street interesting as indeed it was hard to think about anything else at the time of the video playing, and the rest of the group experienced something very similar, as we all sat in silence for the duration of the clip. I also learnt about how artist’s and other creative people have a link to a metaphysical existence as they are always thinking in conceptual and theoretical ways. 

In today’s lecture I learnt about how important it is to pay attention to the world that we live in as artists and be able to collaborate with other types of artists to produce a piece of work for ethical purposes rather than consumerism. it is highly important to stay aware of political influences and to be aware of sensitive audiences and what a design decision could lead to, whether it be good or bad. 

Within my work I am concentrating on me, as a subject for all my subjects. At the start of the project I concentrated upon my eyes as the windows to the soul and also in my land of dreams even though we are not awake we are still seeing images, scenes and lands. Also creating a self portrait in my workshop of sewing upon the machines creating a textiles illustration piece. From here I have expanded further and even in the development of fairies I am using the anatomy of my face to develop my ideas further.
