Blog Post 4 (draft 2 My Kaupapa)

As I stated in my previous blog. My kaupapa Is fantasy, and I'm really interested in the concept of Magic (myths, fairy tales, and legends). It really brings your imagination to life through your artwork. Entering a whole new world, with mysterious wonders, and limitless possibilities that people want to see. It targets the curiosity of "what really is out there ", thinking about the many probabilities of an entirely different world waiting for us to discover and explore their histories, traditions, and existence of how they came to be. escaping their reality into a whole new era.

In level 1 the kaupapa I decided to work on was pacific and religion, using a variety of art styles (chalk, painting, drawing, and printmaking) constructed into my artworks. One of the amazing pieces that I had to design was an image of Mary (mother of Jesus) fused with Pasifika patterns, naming that piece The Goddess Of The pacific Seas. Use spray paint to cover the top layer of the brown paper, waiting for it to dry, then use brown and black chalk to draw the picture of Mary, fused with pacific patterns. It was a patient journey but it was worth it in the end. 

Unfortunately, I didn't take part in level 2 art as a  chosen curriculum.

Mad Max: Fury Road (Practice Paragraph)

For the past few weeks in English, we have collectively been studying close-viewing the film, Mad Max: Fury Road directed and illustrated by ´George Miller. We practiced studying and writing about its key film aspects. The chosen scene we were given to analyze was the ´Furiosa Redemption Scene´. 

In the redemption scene, director Gregor Miller's, use of dialogue was truly passionate-purposeful a helped gave an understanding of how childhood trauma affects even those of these strongest-minded. At the beginning of the scene, where Max is recklessly awoken by a horrific dream, with an aghast expression on his face. To find Furiosa driving the war rig, ensuring Max ¨it´s okay, sleep, get some rest¨. But still trying to shake the feeling of his damaged past.

Establishing shoot into a close-up on Max's face, where he stares out into nothingness as far as the eyes can see. Curiously asking how Furiosa ¨knows if the green place even exists¨. like he doesn't fully believe a place good to be true exists. It here when Furiosa tells Max ¨I was born there¨  this causes Max to feel confused and say, ¨why´d you leave¨ for Furiosa to respond in a doleful way ¨I didn´t, I was taken as a child, stolen¨ thinking about her old self and how her whole world was taken away from her. Leaving nothing but sorrowfulness in her eyes. Max proceeds to ask ¨have you done this before¨ Furiosa replies ¨many times, now that I drive a war rig, this is the best shot I´ll ever have¨. Still not able to take that dreadful moment out of her head. Max turns around pointing at the sleeping wives ¨and them¨ Furiosa says ¨they´re looking for hope¨ Max also draws the question towards Furiosa and asks ¨what about you¨ Furiosa turns and stares into the ray of light and says ¨Redemption¨. As she no longer sees herself as human, so she wanted redemption proven to herself. Shows a low-angle shot of Nux sympathizing with what Furiosa is feeling. Cause he also has something to redeem himself for. The director uses dialogue to effectively show the audience, the change in the relationship between Max and Furiosa. Looking back in the previous scene of how they met and fought for survival, going from seeing each other as enemies to allying with one another. Explaining that everyone you see in the war rig has a reason for fleeing the Citadel, where Immortan Joe ´rains supreme´ like they are connected in a way. 

Smooth sounds of gentle playing violin´s in the background, with a tender tone. Set a heart-touching moment, that has an impact on the audience. Expressing the world hasn´t been easy on Furiosa and her past is always going to be a big part of her. 

Traceback to when Furiosa was seeking redemption, ¨she ultimately redeemed herself, by being the one to kill Immortan Joe¨, during the race to the citadel. Taking control of the oasis, having the opportunity to improve all the flaws in the place. In a way, the audience could relate to Furiosa's emotions and feelings. Knowing deep down inside you're also trying to fight and prove something. Not only to yourself but maybe to others as well, holding you back, having the urge to break free from its grasp. This is what Furiosa did, in succeeding why she needed to redeem herself. Basically saying, ¨if Furiosa had the courage and willingness to fight for what she believes in, So Can You¨. 

 

My Kaupapa (Art Lv 3) Blog post 1

My Kaupapa for this year is going to be Fantasy (imagination of many possibilities). This is my chosen theme because "it allows the reader to experiment with ways they see the world". For me, it's like expressing your inner thoughts out into the world. The reason why I wanted to do this particular theme is that I'm a huge fan of mythical legends and Isekai anime (Reborn, reincarnated, and summoned into another world). The magical thing about art is that it explains and lets people see a different side of you without needing the words to express it. 

For this year I am trying to develop a concept of a euphony world with all diversity linking in arms and

arms with one another. Until a strange force erupted the earth, turning the blue clear sky mid-night

black with no sign of light. splitting the ground in two, opening a passage for the underground demons

to escape. On a roam to slaughter all life forms on earth, until a bright blimming light shoots down

from the sky allowing angels to step foot onto the mortal world. Beginning the first war world I,

between the underworld soldiers and the heavenly angels.
