PorcelainMakeup





Pinnoccio shoot 10th June


I was thinking for my shoot to have the makeup quite pale with rosy cheeks and crazy curls hair?
































OR do i go all Comme Des Gracons and go really crazy and sinister with the makup?



MagCover!



So im going with the whole living doll theme of kids mag for adults and for my cover im thinking i take a headshot from my 'Pinocchio' shoot and use it on my cover but with my paper doll?













So it'd be laid out like an average magazine with the models face looking like a doll but the body would be my paper dolls instead im thinking something like this?


ALSO i've just found out i can get my magazine binded for some measly price at college all i gottas do is find somewhere that prints onto art paper! Go Me!

ContextQuick

Before i bloody forget..

Idea: as dolls are given to children but not always meant for children..(Reborndolls/Chucky)
Mag: 'Childrens' magazine but very explicitly for adults, i.e Cindy Sherman


Inside:
Paper Doll Cut Out?
Games?
Photography?
Adverts?
DollHouse?
ComicStrip?


To Do: Look at Childrens Magzines & Other magazine layouts, i.e Vice Magzine(themed)

V&A Childhood Museum is a long way to go just to look at sometatty dolls especially in my finacial state. where else can i visit? Might just pop into Entertainer & Disney store and do some hot sketches lol..

RebornDoll


Channel 4 Documantary
Living Doll: My Fake Baby
Weirdo old moms n barron women have like life reborn dolls to pass the time. 'Designer dolls' are sometimes made for parents dealing with the loss of a child to help them grieve?
Are dolls really meant for children?
Why do we give children dolls?
Why are dolls treated like real poeple?

GraysonPerry


I'm thinking with Perry, to stick to my idea of the living doll and bringing the doll to life.
Why is there an obsession of making dolls look so realistic?
Why do we have dolls?
Why are dolls given to children?

CindySherman


Haha Sherman has some pretty disturbing pics, her art including dolls all have some refrence to sex. Hard to find her doll work for some reason?..

Still struggling to find context behind my work! =\

YesterdaysCrit


So I need to find some kind of context to go with this whole FMP thing...

I'm thinking of 'Bringing the Doll to Life' where i look at why it is we want dolls to look so realistic...?

Another idea was going with the whole child's mag thing and looking at why we give children little dolls that are so scary?..

Still confused as to where my context is taking me so i dont rightly know where im going to end up but i need to get on it ASAP!
