Year 3 Diary and my influence of Doodle method

Year 3 Evaluation

After my completion of year 2 at De Montfort University, which gives me an opportunity to practice on my academic skills in foam craftsmanship once I’ve sketch up my new blueprints. This method involves in producing unseen doodle work of Niki de Saint Phalle, who has a difficult childhood following a tragic event of her abusive father when she was eleven years old, the aftermath of it has left Niki feeling unstable and disturbed when growing to adulthood.

But years ago since Niki had an uneasy life, she took to her new career of her rebirth into worlds of arts. because it can help change her life among the people, whilst I studied on Niki’s methods it revealed most of her work were used as primary source of psychological arts like fear is against her but enable’s to create a completely different form related to deeper emotions.

Developments of Niki de Saint Phalle’s research:

Viewing on Niki’s models seems to had reacted to comedy effects like turning sad emotions into laughter
Help to clarify her troubled past to move ahead in her future of women rights
By examining her work of each figure were said to had adapted into the manipulation of cartoon effects, different details of coloured glass and how they look wacky via movement
Specializes into her interests of many themes like summer of serpents

Niki’s method are sorts of using rage emotional to paint-shoot her work via shotgun only used in her rights in art
The splatted colours had gone all around most of the landscape parts once Niki just fired upon
Followed by Niki’s latest work she’d created a large sculptural park called Le jardin des tarots-The Tarot Garden
The inner workings of her park were incredible as if they been manipulated in both ceramics and glass-works like Art Nouveau
The park was originally constructed at Pescia Fiorentina, Capalbio, province of Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy in 1998

Next up is investigating a rather curious figures called Netsuke, which are originated in Japan carving in the 17th century that the people wear on their clothes that lacks in pockets. By examining on the mini figures it is said they have a reflection of pocket monsters or in translation – Pokemon, because it meant to express a child’s imagination as if the Netsuke were collectibles used for catching creatures and also it must be a direct form to absorb in their scales into a more bigger appearance.

The reason I’am really fondled of these monster personalities, were about my talents of experimenting on Doodle Hybrids that I need to practice ideas on combining DNA’s of Pokemon’s appearances to my new array of hybrids and to analyse with their evolution scale whilst they are growing much larger than ever.

Methods in Netsuke craftsmanship:

Originated in the 17th century of wooden craftsmanship which is used to create miniature figures
Japanese people had worn these small objects on their clothes of festivals as an fun tradition
Meant to reflect on pocket-monsters also to be known as Pokemon and of course to inspire young generations of cartoon monsters via Japans hybrids from children’s imaginations
Normally they are severed as collectibles but also to adapt with their evolutions depending on how large they can be
To respond with my influence of doodle monster’s DNA
Followed by Pokemon’s behavior, personalities, all manner of forms and characteristics to experiment on
Eventually the Americans and Europeans have heard of Netsuke’s influence and collects them

Evidence of Netsuke attached as pockets:

Reflection of Netsuke via Pokemon:

3301 Netsuke-Development

3301 Netsuke-Art

Studying onto my next project for year 3 to research with many sorts of cultural arts, which I’ve been looking at my primary source in Japanese meant to search their mysteries of spiritual and mythical arts like monsters which focuses on miniature sculptures called Netsuke.

Originated in a ancient-Japan over three hundred years, focused on their differences onto my own hybrid-appearances. Mainly to served both functional/aesthetic methods, fitted on Japanese-dresses because they wear traditional-clothes at summer festivals, funerals, weddings and graduations.

Original influence of Netsuke:

Originated in Ancient-Japan, three-hundred years
Meant on my interests into humorist-effects
Connected to Satoshi-Tajiri’s creation of Pokemon
Studied their evolutions due to Netsuke’s influence
Criticised Japanese’s mantle received by westerners-1854
Americans/Europeans discovered and started to gather-in netsuke
Served both functional/aesthetic methods when fitted on Japanese-clothing
Suspend their everyday-pockets amongst other items, replacing them with Obi-(sash)
Attached these Netsuke-figurines to festive-clothes at the opening/closing of sagemono

Information on Netsuke: https://www.netsuke.org/page-1125375

Methods used to portray the Netsuke in Japanese influence:

Naturally-found objects
Plants
Legends/Legendary heroes
Myths/Mystical beasts
Gods/Religious
Symbols
Daily activities
Myriad
Design vocabulary
Encompassing
Zodiacal animals

Motives in Netsuke-craftmanship:

Netsuke were among the beauty of Japanese-carvings decorated with different forms of elaborate-shaping, lacquer-work or rare/exotic materials.

Believed to be ancient-talismans, highly coveted/collective statures
Disappeared over their era’s of 19th/20th centuries
Directive-approach of Fine-Art affects in master-carvers for Japanese wood-crafting

Affected by industry both Japan and abroad stimulated in their productions
Low-artistic valves into mass-produced modeling of the creation of Netsuke regardless of age/origins

Resources used to carve into Japanese figures of Netsuke:

Ivory
Wood
Cherry wood
Bamboo
Amber
Stag antler
Pottery
Coral
Metal
Compacted of three-dimensional figures in three-inches high
Carved into hollow-bowl like modelling
Formally to shape into multiple items like Katabori, Anabori, Manju, Ryusa, Kagamibuta, Obi-hasami Sashi, Mask and Trick
Normally-animals are made illegal

Series of organized a collection of Netsuke around the globe, most of them are been exhibiting from multiple museums:

Los-Angeles, County-Museum of Art (LACMA)
Museum of Fine-Arts in Boston
National-Art Museum in Tokyo
British-Museum
Victoria and Albert-Museums, London
Excelling within LACMA-museum
United-States amounted 150 objects from the Raymond/Frances Bushell exhibition
Total of 600 Netsukes-collection
Louvre-Museum, Paris

Reveals many ways of netsuke might be a connection of viewing personalities within different hybrids. Telling their original-stories of monsters fitted into pockets and were now mentioned in present-period of Pokemon.

Combined with different-possibilities onto cross-species’s DNA
Childhood-imagination adapted in Pokemon-evolutions
Helps to reflect last-year’s “Doodle-hybrids” given me inspiration into Japanese-creatures
Children’s response to imaginative-animals.

Key methods of DNA samples taken from Pokemon stages:

Evolution from Froakie/Frogadier to Greninja:

Treecko to Grovyle and Sceptile to evolve/mega-evolve:

No Comments on Classical influences used in sculpture

Throughout my journey into art were investigating into all kinds of cultural arts used to inspire my ideas to examine each of their histories, knowledge, details, scales and origins when using my manipulating skills to produce most replicas of hybrid arts. Then to adapt to how I would build my models in much scale that can cover the park or even a sculpture gallery grounds of my own.

First region of historical arts – Egypt

Studying on the first classical styles of Egyptian that I was really fond of its origins, next to their famous structures used to shape our inspirations in most of Egypt’s knowledge merged into arts.

Cultural methods developed in Egyptian:

Carved statures from stone or rock that represents gods
Pharaohs were known to symbolizes their rule of the region
Written methods used in Hieroglyphs among temples and tomb walls
Those whom have died were mummified into the afterlife which I had reflect with my modroc techniques

Second region of historical arts – Greece

My next research is the very origins of humanoid/monster appearances from Greek mythology, said to be the many wonders within many regions of ancient Greece where are famous statures to represent each of the 12 Olympian gods and the people worship them and pay tribute. From the Greek god who had created our world came the birth of mankind, came many of these legendary heroes known only of their story, bravery, courage and heroic deeds for their country and that the names of each warrior are told in stories.

Following with my inspirations of hybrids appeared in all kinds of humanoid arts, because they were known by the Greek people as monsters and how they said to be feared by their behavior rage. From my point of examining my imaginary monsters to build up ideas of combining with the creature’s differences from DNA, like say wings, armored details, scales of how they stand tall and also to explain each of my monstrous effects whilst bring them into reality as 3D models.

Methods in Greek Mythology:

Many of these famous statues were originally carved from clay or stone
People who had worshipped gods via their prayers
Some of the statures seems to had talent like the discus to compete in old Olympics
Heroes of all were known by their courage written in stories
Hybrid monsters whom to had roam the world of ancient Greece
Creature’s behavior would react to people’s fear of difference of monstrous DNA

Third region of historical arts – Aztecs

Reading on another civilization across the Atlantic ocean, where the land of the Aztecs were originally based at, sightseeing on the capital city of Tenochtitlan and how I can dig up their early roots of old mexico. The Aztec people are known to worship gods, used to carve from all sorts of materials like turquoise been mined in the Aztec caves and then to craft all kinds of artifacts.

But not only that it tells of the people who were sacrificed as rituals to their gods, because it was shown in ancient tradition as if so many had died during their fierce period and that at time of the very civilization was now known to be New Mexico. Before long the Spanish Conquistador named Hernan Cortes was sent by King Charles of Spain, to lead an expedition in 1519 to overthrow the ruler of Tenochtitlan-Montezuma II. after the Aztecs drove off Cortes’s army, they return in much greater force in 1921 to defeat the Aztec empire where most of the people were driven from their cities. Next to Montezuma’a imprisonment, Cortes’s army had raided the city’s temples of all treasures, overtime Hernan Cortes alongside his army had conquered the Aztec region and then constructed new cities across the country which has become known as Mexico.

Fourth region of historical arts – Japanese

Reading on my final influence of what inspires me throughout my artist journey called Japanese, which I’ve been looking at over early summer to describe with the mysteries of cultures said to understand in myth legends long before Japan became the land of the rising sun and what gives me a form of curiosity to examine this case of ancient traditions used in all sorts of secretly methods.

Methods of Japanese culture used within their period:

Ancient societies of warriors like Ninjas, Samurai, Shoguns and Ronin
Mysteries told of unseen monsters said to had roam the wilds of Japan
Dragons were mentioned of their wisdom and rage of power across their culture’s stories
Also that of old periods of Japan meets modern technology
Became popular of colour effects used in their own cartoon series
Miniature figures called Netsuke are a reflection of pocket monsters or in translate Pokemon

French methods in sculpturing Niki de Saint Phalle's influence

Auguste Forestier

In my investigation into the next sculptor called Auguste Forestier, who begins his career in France during the 20th century. This gives Forestier a ability to carve magical objects which is a different kind of approach into human-made manipulation and can also be influenced by clarify and categorization.

When studying on Forester’s research into wooden model experiments, like I was examining on Jury-Rigged Assemblages almost if I’m mistaken for inventory of otherworldly via toy collection.

Methods in Forestier’s techniques:

Viewing on these strange but wonderful models carved from wooden materials
Most of his work on reptilian relatives seems to react with my two figures of Lizzie long-tail box
A soldier figure riding a horse has a unique approach to it’s culture since a historical event of the French Revolution
Using miniature ways of manufacturing with all manner of structures like vehicles, tools and a wide of themes based only into fantastical bestiary
All of his life’s work were originally crafted and also conjured from wooden resources at the time of his imprisonment at St. Alban psychiatric hospital

Forestier’s website: https://www.outsiderartfair.com/artists/auguste-forestier

Forestier was originally born from a farm in the year of 1887 at the Southeastern Lozere region of France, He also mentioned with enthralled plots involving with trains which leads him into trouble in 1914. Because his arrest were the reason he had placed an amount of pebbles on rail-tracks causing trains to derail, his action had landed him into curiosity at St. Alban psychiatric hospital at aged 27 and remained there until he died in 1958.

Overtime since Forestier’s imprisonment he had worked at a warehouse, kitchen and also to adapt with bust and medallions. During mid-1930s he began to craft his wooden objects into toy models for children of hospital employees, This reaction had an increasingly role of being complex to become an artist, who meant to go in great lengths or even depths of what gives me the potential manufacturing, build, shape and adorn his methods into old toys into something imaginary as figures just like my Lizzie long=tail box figures.

Imaginary themes used in Forestier’s experiment:

Describing with my French sculptor’s imaginary ideas which can create boats, winged creatures and different sorts of decorated generals that has a reflected side of Napoleon Bonaparte also to manufactured with buttons, string, tape, leather and even bones/teeth originated of certain mammals.

Said to had to carve their own personalizes with a life of my own creations
Took to his work seriously as he is meant to established a small workshop for use of perspective way
Able to adapt to his constructive approach of batched elements needed to influence Forestier’s role with such developments of wooden arts related with foam resources
