Paintings

These paintings relate to our film idea in some shape or form. I did this in order to see how our film could be transformed into different forms of media and also in order for me to get some new idea's for our film.

I think the painting is about a young women or girl creating a world in which she is in control. She is seeing the world in the way she wishes it to be just like how children see the world in the way they wish it to be or in a different light. The fact that she is wearing white represents her as quite an innocent/pure girl, which is what children are said to be. The background is partly baby pink, which is a colour associated with little girls. The costume she is wearing is flows like a princess gown, which adds to the innocence and the idea of her still being a child. Although the girl in the painting appears to be innocent her facial expressions suggest otherwise. She looks stern and controlling due to her stance. Perhaps she is furious with e way her life is, so she got angry and changed it. This could explain why the colour green in the background seems to be dripping. It is also possible that the image is showing the viewer how although the young girl is making her own world the real world still manages to creep in. This is supported by the green in the background and also the low-key lighting in the background. Maybe the artist was trying to create a painting of the world through the perspective of a child.

This painting is called Cosmic composition by Paul Klee. The layout is quite distorted and boxed. It looks like a childish painting due to the objects drawn e.g. a house. It also looks like some of the objec ts in the painting were drawn with chalk. I think the painting is about how a child sees the world. The bright colours used and the fact that the painting looks like it’s at night time makes  objects like the sun in the painting look like a firework. I think this represents all the possibilities of the world and the dream to soar to new heights and discover new things. The child sees the beauty of life and in its possibilities in a world that’s been kept in the dark. The objects in the painting are trees, houses, moons and a sun that make up a typical street more or less. It’s such a simple painting but yet it looks so beautiful and full of possibilities.
