This week i came up with more ideas for my food project and i also made a few more things that i felt could go well with the animation.
i had a group tutorial this week with other people from the course, they were from all years so there was 2 3rd years and 2 2nd years and 2 1st years including me. we all spoke about what we were doing and what our plans were for our final piece and everyone form the group had to write down what they thought about your piece and give advice on improvements. i was told what artists to research and so i looked into jenny saville, i found this artist helpful as it got me thinking about societies views in overweight people, supporting my idea to base it on obesity. somebody also mentioned using materials on the pictures i drew to exagerate the look of fat on the body. this was a very useful tip and so i have decided to use jelly over the image as it has very similar properties as fat does in the way that it wobbles the same and you could imagine it being the same texture.
i feel that once i have done this in my animation it is not enough, it doesnt seem like it will be long enough so i have decided to encorporate exercise into the animation and how that is what helps a body to burn off the fat as well. i may even show the body losing so much weight that the body begins to desinterate and become ill

this week i have come up with the idea to create an animation using the drawings that i made as well as the photographs. i have decided that by linking them together i would like to do an animation on how food affects the body. i am still on thinking how exactly i am going to do it
31st november
now it is halloween i had worn a sumo outfit, from this i have decided that i am going to link my animation to how food causes obesity when over consumed or when eating the wrong kinds of food.
in the animation i want to use my drawings to show how the food moves down the throat once chewed, describing where it goes and what happens to it. i then want to show when over eating occurs how the body gets bigger due to fat. i will use my sumo outfit for this.
before i use the drawings i will first add all of the photographs of the foos disintegrating, showing how i have eaten it first and it will be as if the drawings are of my body. i think i will use a bit of food and take photographs as i move it down the pipe towards the stomach.

although i have come up with that idea i also have many others such as using Andy Warhol's ideas and doing a similar kind of thing. using identicle images and changing the colours of them.
when i was on a bus i also came up with the idea to link the topic food with the topic of greed and the 7 deadly sins. from this i was wanting to link it to society and the greed of material goods, and how instictive needs have changed into designer labels, luxurious foods and pampering, im not sure what i could do but this is a topic i feel strongly about so it would be fun to do.
