around theme of 'making kin' > double exposures of mixed beings/things

like human with animal

some oil pastel illustrations that would have a cool effect through shape and colour:

CALEIDOSCOPE

took apart a kaleidoscope I got at Hema > to see how they made it

comes from the Greek words kalos (beautiful), eidos (shape/form), and skopeo (to see)

"to see/look at beautiful things/forms"

- build kaleidoscopes myself
craftmanship
a headset

- make a series of illustrations
play with colour and shapes
turn into posters/zine

- make animation
as sort of making of the illustrations
of images created through the kaleidoscope
to watch with the kaleidoscope

- interactive sort of installation > at least a work intended to be used by the viewer

- combine with sound/music?

PLANS

round 1

allows me to:
> make, use my hands (and not only think and think more)
> learn a new technique/craft
> connect practice to theory: make use of theory we have been discussing in class

experiment and see how it grows

Handmade nation - film

Previous paper I wrote: "Bauhaus and the gendered hierarchy of art and craft"

Meanwhile experimented with double exposures

Went to ceramic station where you can also work with glass > cut mirrors, had some troubles at first, but practice makes (almost) perfect :-)

oude kindertekeningen

just going with the flow, drawing whatever comes to mind. To not worry to colour inside the lines, to come with interesting combinations of shapes/lines/etc

Did a station skill at the metal station > build some houses
