Metaphor's

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance-
  • "A mighty fortress is our God."
  • "Your in the dog house."
  • "Mothers meeting."
  • "My memory of the event is foggy."
  • "The homework was a breeze."
  • "Mary stole the spotlight with her performance."
  • "The teacher got to the bottom of the problem."
  • "Walking on egg shells."

Why Use a Metaphor?
  • Metaphors can help readers or listeners to better understand something about the object or idea to which the metaphor is being applied.
  • Metaphors can make speaking and writing more lively and interesting.
  • Metaphors can communicate a great deal of meaning with just a word or a phrase.

Look at these!

Link
As your obsession with animal heads and dressing up continues, I thought you might like these. You could think about using the whole body of a person more and recycling existing objects to give them new meanings. They are the work of Geoffrey Cottenceau, as his thesis work at ecal.ch, a Swiss design school in Lausanne. Have a look at more here.

TED BAKER LONDON


This is the finished image but with bad time management I quickly took a photograph an hour before handing it in. I didn't sent it off to the to Ted Baker competition, I really regret not sending it and finishing it off. The circles would be turning the patterns behind the boards that the models are holding. I had fun creating this image- it is a little set that I made. I would work in this way again- I will have good organize skills with better time management.
I've nearly finished the brief, next week I got to make three '60s pattern wheels, cut out clothes on the white board and two more models like this. This image is half way through and it be finished very soon. O and the layout of how it is going to be in the front window and that's it.


I am looking at deers specially the antlers to get an idea to make a mask and looking at Antoinette Messenger masks, of teddy heads on dead animals.

Our new brief from YCN Student Awards is to devise a campaign for the launch of the Ted Baker Autumn/Winter collections, that makes use of their store window as its primary vehicle. I found some images from different front stores windows. Are work has to be irreverently British, fun and attention-grabbing and simple to understand. (Above is a Ted Baker front window)

Dialogue Ignites Change: Theme: Water




Finished piece. It is about how women and children walk for miles, I plaster cast my feet, so that they look tired. The pan of water is for you to get the feel of what it is like carrying water for miles.

For our new project we are to research on people (individual behaviour) develop and refine a body of work of body knowledge, that deals with various spheres such as the globe representing the earth, the set of points which are fixed distance from a central point of space. Look at human activity and the role of mental functions within a individual social behaviour upon the given theme- Water. The map of the world of future water stress, on how water availability may change, Temperatures, Population and Industrialisation increases. I've found a website on world water council the website shows how there is a lack of drinking water . There is more water wasted today, more then 1 out of six people lack access to safe drinking water and childern die of borne diseases . I heard about that clouds are being injected to make it rain but it caused a storm, there are things that we don't know whats going on in the world. In this project we are to show more aware on things and inform the public more information on water of how we feel as individual if that happened to us and give an insight on are finished design.
Water stress map.

China overdoes
clouds seeding to end drought and turn Beijing to snow. Chinese weather scientsts produce chemicals into clouds to produce rain to ease a drought in Beijing and were embarrassingly caught out by sudden cold/snow

I am researching more on Women and Children in the developing world and how they walk for miles to get water for there family. They walk over 4000 steps a day and the weight of water carried can be over 25 kilograms. Child care suffers, as does education from children collecting water.
I have been looking at Artist landscapes Richard Long and got on the idea of walking and thinking of creating a plaster cast of feet. I been looking at Antony Gormley for research, he uses his own body for sculptures.

I am looking at different of types of buckets that Women and Children use to get water, to help me install the exhibition.
