For the Show and Tell session with my peers, I need to have a 100 word statement of intent about which live brief I will be working on and all the work I have carried out so far including some sketchbook work (research, sketches, thumbnailing, roughs) and contextual research. I'll use this post to plan out the beginnings of this project now I now which brief I have selected and now that I have Jeanne Willis' story to begin selecting a spread of to make 3 outcomes of.
Rainforest Sounds and Sketchbook Responses
Bird of Paradise
screenshots from video of movement:
• Majority of species are found in New Guinea and Eastern Australia
• Known for the plumage of the males of the sexually dimorphic species (the majority) - highly elongated and elaborate feathers extending from its beak, wings, tail and head.
• Rainforest habitat
• Diet dominated by fruit and to a lesser extent, arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans)
• In most species the tail is larger and longer than the female
• Wings are rounded
• Many species have generally black plumage with varying amounts of blue and green iridescence.
• Females are typically drab to blend in with habitat.
100 Word Proposal
For LAUIL504 Studio Brief 1, I have chosen to work on the Carmelite Prize 2020 live brief illustrating Jeanne Willis' picture book text One and Only about a lonely Bird of Paradise in search of a friend. I have selected to use the 250 x 250 mm dimensions and to create 3 outcomes of spread 2 as it provides a lot of content with the passing of time, the building a leafy home amongst scenery of flowers in a rainforest. Listening to rainforest sounds and animals while making marks, taking photographs and sketches of the foliage around my accommodation, and finding clues in the text and using basic cut paper shapes for character development really helped the beginnings of this project so far.
