Art Exam

2009-03-26T01:11:00.005Z

After 15 hours (3 Days) of pure silence... I hope it was worth it :D

Enjoy my finale Finale piece of Art as i finish my last Unit, and now i go back to my other 3 units to improve..ahhh

Enjoy

The Question was Cinema, I took the Still from Saving Private Ryan and used the technique of Laura Lancaster and also created texture to give a feel to the painting. Dark and gritty and war like, as i decided to look upon war films like Schindler's List and The Pianist.

Anyways enjoy !

So this is my latest music craze, as the legendery duo pull out another finger to release a groovy new album, I fondly listen to Please and Actually.. " It couldnt happen here"Hit music" and all that jazz. :D
and i look up to the night sky whilst walking the dog on a frosty evening, and playing in my ears was the soft dancy " I dont know what you want but i can't give it anymore"... I love that song from the Nightlife album.
So Yes! The new album from the Pets!
Check it out.. looks and sounds groovy as.
Will be seeing them this year!..or hopes too
Ciao!

Yoko Ono's Art at The Baltic, Newcastle

2009-01-06T19:09:00.009Z

I whent to see Yoko Ono's work at The Baltic art gallery in newcastle or Gateshead if you want to be percise.
well what a spectacular walk around her works and it made me think alot about what she was trying to put across to the viewers of her work, although some of her work was quite disturbing, but not all contempory art has a positive side. As my Art teacher explains you have to have a story behind your work, well i disagree because art doesn't have to have a story or meaning but it helps. It also helps that it does have a meaning but i belive it is how the artist puts across their feelings within their work, although you would not want to sometimes have those negative feelings.

Whilst i was looking around Yoko's work i came across many that i have noted my own personal feelings about what message she is trying to portray.

The wishing tree - This enabled me to write a wish and place it on the tree as many other indidviudals have done before myself. It made me react in a posative way saying it " makes you think deeply about yourself and society".

The bottles - an interesting piece that shows old fashioned bottles, filled with water, titled "we are all water". I find this interesting as what does she mean by that? well i think that it could represent a great deal about the purity of her work, as water is a suggestion of cleaniness. many say it can suggest a birth timeline as not all of the names listed on the bottles are dead.

Vertical memory - (1997) shows a repeat of the same picture but i feel that every picture was distictivly different. The comments underneath each picture stated a comment of memory I also felt that it was looking back on things that may seem alittle dark.

Morning beams and Skyladders - (My favorite peice)It suggest beams of light but within that light i feel that there was something more strange about it..i felt that it was alittle dark and cold.. (metal = cold and nylon = soft) also suggested support.
The skyladders only one comment - climbing to the light? " theres more to what you see, than just a path of death"
stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin springs to mind here.
I missed out on the one in New york where the viewer actually climbs the Stairs and looks at the small writting on the ceiling.

The letter - (Jan 23 1966)This blow me away with the words and touched my soft spot.
Quoting from the copy of the letter witch is from her work " grapefruit".
the line " painting to construct your head" was just amazing, so much so i could not read anymore.. rather powerful.
" I felt sad and emosional by the words spoken through the written scripture".

Discarded Culture - (books that were scattered randomly on the floor)I felt she was trying to portray that theres a sense of lost culture, meomories thrown away and forgotten, but they were obviously not pieces of junk.

Weight Object. - my own view of this piece of work that ive said here " choosing and weighing between life or death, therefore life is like a seasaw".

I have enjoyed looking at her work and i recommend anyone with an open mind for comtempory art to go and have a look.
also on one of the piece i finally saw was a piece by her called "helmets" this was a really obscure piece to understand it was peaceful but sad at the same time because it was like " War and peice". witch could link to her perspective on todays wars? the public where able to take a piece of her sky, witch is just a jigsaw piece.

anyways enjoy photos below...many thanks

Poem

2008-09-02T01:09:00.003+01:00

well am sitting here..thinking well its 1am go to bed? but i have thoughts running through my head..and you know when ya just wanna say something? or write it down..so you can have peace again then thats what am feeling so here it goes..

Glancing with the glass pulled over ya face
have you seen what she likes?
well not what shes supposed too.
calling for a different fate and a new name for this pretty eyed face..
why does society held her back for god sake..
things are different now but theres still some hate..for this kinda life
seems to me like they are scared and surprised, its not a big deal anymore if you like the same sex
give it a rest? will ya?
or sink low till your stuck in you old and worthless armchair
thinking up the most bullshitted comments to you dare speak em to me
well i shall not flee, and why should i?
I can do what i want, and be happy with my life
spread my wings and fly into the night..
I will not be afraid of the night because am strong and don't give a shit..
I feel sorry for the people who cannot open their closed minds i mean live in the new times abit

Break the barriers down for us to have an easy path.
and feel the love that we have
and be free with it through and through..
you never know it could happen to you..
(What you feel and what you do is entirely up to you)

R.E.M - The Rosebowl

2008-08-28T22:32:00.009+01:00

ahh!, the spirts where high and there was optimisum about the support acts and not many was there when i came through but it soon got to be loud and atmospheric.. and the energy was going about itself..
I really enjoyed the editors and the Guillemots with thier unique styles.

As i arrive with my colourful rainbow hat, beatles bag and a pink pengiun top. i was supirsed how big the stadium was (as i have never been to a cricket stadium before). i jumped quickly for the Merch and got myslef a cute £5 REM ICA booklet. i was thinking to myslef shall i get an REM t-shirt? and in the end i was like nawww. i didnt want to waste time changing into it and in front of like loadsa people..LOL. hahah..
The weather was not too bad, but in saying that am from the north and am used to a colder climate..anyways
The Guillemots where fantastic with there usual music making; I will be definatly getting a cd..and also Editors :)

So the crowd were a wee bit hyped up and to be sure i was.. REM came on later than expected coming on about 8.30pm.. i was kindly offered a bag of crips as i hadnt eaten so i survived on that getting more insane and hyper of excitment..and i meet a fellow Murmur.com user,who was also at the front who came well prepared with the hollowman print outs who ended up in this mornings paper.
and so the show starts.. Aye!
Big massive rawr! from the crowd as stipe,mills and then peter came runing on the stage :) oh it was a pretty suprise when they started the show with bad day followed by living well and WTFK..the crowd where getting more into it and the energy was creating one hell of a show. The REM where giving it all!
And the iconic peter jumps where giving it some extra groovyness and mills was upbeating the crowd with the random "hello'" and it was fantastic!..

The wee chats to the crowd within the show were typically political and silly. talking about the government as they slip into Man sized wreath. and the somwhat silly talk about the TV series Lost witch i and the crowd didnt have a clue. And buck waving his hands suggest stipe should stop talking about it,witch i found quite amusing lol.
Stipe also talked about how he had a shite day and was hoping the crowd would get him warm and cheeful, witch it did successfully. As he got some new shoes but disapointedly stood in dog shite. lol

At this point i had been standing for an arwful long time and my legs where in cramp and still enjoying the show and having a ball and shooting and cheering and danicng to the music..the front was a little squished and was a bit of a nightmare sometimes. but i still managed to take atleast a good few pics with a camera phone. The crowd was on fire! and we were happy and the band were happy also. Stipe came to see the front row at the song "One i love" I managed to touch his shoulder and got a side high five on the tips of my fingers..but you see my arms are short lol..i got knocked about a bit..it was crazy.

The second time was through Losing my Religon..witch was hella crazy but i touched his arm and hand.. and felt how soft his suite was.. but i wasnt really interested in that bit. i was looking to see what the guitarists where doing on stage and waved at them :)
The highlights for me were "pretty persaution", "Orange Crush", "Animal", " Ignorland" and "drive" but as a whole the show was fecking amazing and am still buzzed and Wow! about it now.
Rarites came "ignorland","Fall on me", "Auctioneer" "7 chinese bros!" and "nightswimming" I just cannot belive, I was at the front and seeing REM before me. The setlist was amazing and the night will never go out of my memory as this first REM show of mine was an absolute dream. would love to thank them personally but that is very unlikly. I have alot of appeciation for this band and it sticks with it. :) Thanks To: Mills,Stipe, Buck, Bill, Scott for making my first gig so fecking Special.
