Yeah, it's basically a mini-Unit of work. I chose to do surrealism in the exam, as a unit that I actually did on surrealism (last year) was completely ****ed up by a trainee teacher we had (ah well, she was fit ) who didn't understand the course. After she left I ended up analyzing 8 pieces of art in a single day in order to get my mark up to a D.
Yes, up to a D ...

Anyway, for this exam I've mainly been focusing on the work of H R Giger, (swiss surrealist artist, designer of alien) which has been reall interesting to do, as most of his work is stuff like this:
http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lg3004+b...ger-poster.jpg (SFW, nothing creepy)
http://giger.com/gallery/book-biomechanics-d3.jpg (SFW, might creep children out)
http://10.media.tumblr.com/BXG5VpDSt...NyS382_400.jpg (possibly NSFW)
http://www.biwook.net/gallery/giger/Giger-art-1.jpg (lower half NSFW)


There's plenty more of his work out there, I'd post more, but a lot of it can only really be described as biomechanical-alien erotica (still very good quality though, just google image search "H R Giger" and some will pop up, even with safesearch on XD)

when i presented my work done on the G master my teacher said "there is always one in every class I have had since I started teaching that will do work on him, I have become a mini expert on him with the help of my pupils, I love his art but hated the films"

did'nt talk about films to him much after that

EDIT: and G masters sculpturs are awsome!!!

[BulletWraith]

thanks for the inspiration omega, designing a meditation chamber and needed some inspiration for the exterior, this will do just nicely

will you be posting/linking to any of your work?

[abukii]

Agreed. Lets see some of your work

[Lance]

IMO, most 'art' that I've seen is actually mock-art. What's worse, though is that so much of it is not good. And the form of art known as poetry? Agh. Most of it is prose chopped up into short lines and stacked. And that includes most of the poetry contest winning writings.

Uh, I'm gonna stop now instead of wasting my time on anger that won't change the quality of writing or painting at all. Dammit.

Oddly enough, photographic art seems to have a higher percentage of good stuff than other forms.

Before I forget: "good" = "I like it". And uniqueness helps a lot.

[mdhay]

Why must you get the good stuff, Adam? I actually wanted to Giger's work for ages, but have to do Cubism. >.<

[omega329]

Don't have much with me at the moment, I'll post a transcription of "Birth Machine" though...

Drawing isn't my strong point, but I seem to be able to analyze work really easily. I tend to just bullshit about what I see in the picture and what it has connotations of, then try and include some longer words in order to look smarter, and end up getting 12-14 out of 15 marks for them...
O_o

[mdhay]

Haha, you've revealed your Facebook. That's pretty good, though. I ain't gonna post any of my work though, it's off topic.

[BulletWraith]

perhaps a post yo sh&% thread is in order, I'd like to see what other Zoners are constructing/imagining
thanks for the link Omega, cool to see what your doing
