Section 1
The focus of the study is to explore the theme of transferring from human beings to metamorphosis. The idea is gained from the book The Metamorphosis about a transfer of a human being to bugs. The skills of drawing different styles of metamorphosis, and the meaning behind each metamorphosis will be explored. It also intends to find out how slight changes and postures of images reflect the inner feelings of those images created by me. The intended audience is all the people, especially those who are interested in arts and literature.
In order to explore the topic, I have created some images and read the books The Metamorphosis and Medieval Fantasy Art Bible: Transformation and Carnival. I am also working on seeking the skills behind the arts “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” Those books and arts will prepare me for the full discovery of the topic.
The ideas of the project will demonstrate the skills of creativity and how to instill the idea of creativity in works, which are taught in this semester. I have realized that it is crucial for me to create my own styles of images to attract the audience.
Section 2
The contextual references that will be used in my works include the books The Metamorphosis, Medieval Fantasy Art Bible: Transformation and Carnival, The Garden of Earthly Delights, as well as the works of the artists including Christian Zucconi and Emil Melmoth. The book The Metamorphosis offers the main idea for my creation of works, and I will create the images based on the book, which talks about a story of a man who woke up and found him became a bug. As I talked about the theme of transferring, the book would be a great source for me to understand the idea of transferring The author created a bug and told his struggles. In my creation, I will also use images to show the inner struggles of modern people and how those people would transfer from human beings to bugs. The books Medieval Fantasy Art Bible: Transformation and Carnival, The Garden of Earthly Delights will provide some inspiration for me to have a look at how people were depicted in the Middle Ages, for I wanted to increase the mystery of religions in my creation. In addition, I also would like to use the drawing skills of Christian Zucconi and Emil Melmoth in my work. Christian Zucconi is good at doing sculpture, and he also instilled the sense of melancholic rapture that would be used in my arts. I want to use different images of metamorphosis to show the emotions of modern people. Furthermore, the works of Emil Melmoth also offer a sense of inspiration for me, and his works deliver a gruesome impression for viewers.
Section 3
The process for me to create a piece of art includes as follows. To begin with, I will ensure the topic of my works. In the next step, I will read some books such as The Metamorphosis related to my works and some pieces of art that would give me some inspiration. Then I will create the works and modeled the works. The tools for me to create the works are Maya, with which I will conduct 3D modeling. After that, I will print out the piece of works from the 3Dwork shop in the school.
Section 4
There are some steps that I need to analyze the piece of art critically. The first step is to read various materials and analyze the visual elements in my works, including the composition, sketches, and diagrams of my piece of work and the meaning behind the images. The responses from my teachers and other viewers will be the ones that determine if the work is successful or not. If all of the viewers think that my work should have much more improvement, then it might be concluded that the work could not strike people. I hope that through the works, I will practice the sense of aesthetics and work in the gallery in the future.
