I'd prefer answers from someone whos done a-level art or a degree or whatever :)
For my next a-level topic its an externally set assignment and the topic is...... (gotta build tension).... ''Change''! and not as in 'money change' like my parents keep gettin confused with!
So I was thinking maybe doing music, showing the change in music from the 1960's until now, but the thing is unfortunately the sense you use for music is hearing and the sense you use for art is vision! So how would i do this? Album art, band portraits?...etc etc? I dont want to do fashion which could relate to bands because i can see that relating to textiles and i HATE textiles! Help please! :) xxxNeed help with art! :(?I guess you`ve heard of %26quot;Pop art%26quot;,a movement some decades ago,you could theme your work around paintings done in the style of the times that reflected the music of that decade,the 60s could be done similar to a Beatles album cover or something more psychedelic,moving through the 70s and 80s to reflect the modern romantics style and up to today's graffiti street art with rap overtones, Just do some genre research for that on line somewhere,,Need help with art! :(?um whtaNeed help with art! :(?Why not consider the change in the four natural seasons of mother Earth. You could depict so many alternatives from lakes or water with surrounding trees in Summer to the identical landscape in mid Winter. The same yet so different. Wildlife in Spring or the golden Autumn leaves will achieve an array of different wonderful colours too.Need help with art! :(?Well wouldn't you want to document the change in sound from acoustic to electric as well as the change in clothing and hairstyles and the change in music and lyrics as depicted in albums, album cover art, TV interviews, concerts, protests, et Setra in order to track the changes in social and political consciousness which took place in the 1960s, about which much of pop art was means if not always the end.
You may hate textiles, but if it's important to getting at the heart of the matter, and I'm not saying that it is mind you, then you need to explore that aspect of cultural change. It won't make things more accurate or more true if you choose to ignore things that offend your sensibilities.
Good luck with your art assignment. If you just stop and think about it, you can do this with no help at all. And, by the way, you use your mind's eye to process music and lyrics all the time. It's the reason the use of LSD and reefer and other drugs was so prevalent. You can't understand the 1960s counterculture without appreciating the close association between music and art on the one hand and drugs on the other and the notion that the two together can raise and change your consciousness.
You might consider the 1960s as the era of the personal odyssey, and the social and political odyssey that followed.Need help with art! :(?Maybe you could have your poster white background, text of varying sizes, light to dark grey, and different song titles of all eras, famous ones like from the Stones and Beatles (60's), Eagles and Springsteen (70's), Iron Maiden, Springsteen (80's), U2, Nirvana (90's), etc. Then have the Band names in black, and make the text larger than the song titles. I got the idea here: http://thehistoryofrockmusic.com/era/197 on the right side of the page, but you can work it to suit you. Or even check out the bold black banner at the top of the page maybe, where it says %26quot;History of Rock Music%26quot;. Good luck!Need help with art! :(?How about a picture of an old, large, computer, and, on the screen a picture of a new hi tech version of one. Or try this one. Get an old classic painting and put a new object in it. Like Mona Lisa using an i pod. The %26quot;Thinker%26quot; statue staring at a computer screen. Look through an art history book to get an idea. I hope this helps. ChrisNeed help with art! :(?i know i'm only doing GCSE art but still i have a suggestion,
how about the change in fashion but use photographs and sketches?
or how genres also change and the movements in music? [ there's a lot more now ] and this can link to the fashion also the album art sound good and portraits, how the photography has changed? :)
or
one i'd personally use is changes in people,
construction of personality, experiences and intelligence etc?
life cycle?
also work about the world [ very wide field and you can use any media tbh ]
seasons? changes within time [ global warming, construction etc ]? changes within a day [dusk-dawn sort of thing ]?
Depends what media you are best at and enjoy doing as you might have to change from the 'music' theme :)
want a chat, e-mail me :)
