Summer project 2017 - Drawings 1-22
This week we received the summer project that is to be completed before beginning our first year of the CAA course in a few weeks time. The first stage of this process is the beginning of idea generation. We were given a number of objects, from which we have to create 101 different concepts (including life forms, machines and structures) and then develop 3 of these further. These are the items that we were given to develop the concepts from. They are ordinary objects, but the trick is to create the extraordinary or unusual concepts from these. The following are the concepts that I have created in the last few days:
The Five Act Structure of the Greatest Showman - Film Review
Three and five act structures are key devices used in effective storytelling.

Hideous progeny : disability, eugenics, and classic horror cinema (available from Epsom) has a horror focus but should be relevant in terms of cultural anxieties, freak shows etc.
Eugenics
You might want to look into eugenics which is the bogus science that influenced a lot of culture and politics towards disabled people in the 20th century, particularly the Nazis. There’s a good summary in this article: The eugenics movement and attitudes towards people with disabilities
Journals
There is some academic wiring on Game of Thrones and disability which you can find in our online journals search:
"game of thrones" disability
If you need anything else, you can reach me via aday7@uca.ac.uk or email gatewayrochester@uca.ac.uk to arrange a tutorial.
Thanks,
