I've decided to reapply to college!
This time for fine art... which I should have chosen when I first applied to college 10 years ago... or maybe it's only after experiencing everything I have in the last 10 years that now I'm ready to take art more seriously... anyway, over the next year I'll be compiling a college application portfolio.
December 2007:
This portfolio is an exploration of numerous themes which fascinate me. I find each of these themes so engrossing for several reasons; aesthetically, symbolically, psychologically, culturally and historically.
Some of the following themes are based on relatively recent projects which Ive had under development for a few months. Other themes are based on ideas that Ive had and research that Ive conducted over a longer time period of up to 2 years or more.
February 2008:
Possible Portfolio Themes:
INSPIRal - The Spiral Study (2yrs+)
An examination of examples of the geometric spiral in nature.
The Carina Constellation (-1yr)
A study based around what a friend represents and inspires in me.
A Symbolists Mandala (2yrs+)
Cultural and religious symbolism applied to my own beliefs.
PERSPIRINE - the PERpetual inSPIRation machINE (1yr+)
An analysis of the ebb and flow of inspiration.
Rhizomic-Plane Omega-Point (-1yr)
A graphic interpretation of two specific philosophical ideas.
The Dialogical Self (1yr+)
A visual exploration into this psychological theory of the self.
Deproganda to Reproganda * (-1yr)
Observation, interpretation, deconstruction, and final reconstruction of Propaganda/P.R. imagery and ideals.
If you have any suggestions for improvement or change please do let me know.
More updates coming in the near future
* = the term Deproganda is Carina Bates © 2007

please take the time to sign the petition and read ANVIL's website for updates. This is discrimination against council tenants as well as any responsible owner of one of these breeds.
