Cornelia Hesse-Honegger
Despite the catastrophic meltdowns of recent memory, advocates of nuclear power have always maintained that it's a safe and "green" source of energy, and that when properly contained, would not harm local wildlife. But these disturbingly beautiful watercolor paintings of mutated insects by Swiss science artist and illustrator Cornelia Hesse-Honegger tell another story: that even properly functioning nuclear power plants can have a negative effect on organisms.
Identify, by discovering, describing and recording, a
theme / issue of meaning and relevance to you, drawing on one or
more of the given themes and your Study Task 1 research (if appropriate): society,
politics, history, culture and technology.
Find a
way to record your theme / issue in a way that interests you. Include
observational drawing, but also use others ways of recording information. If it is
hard to begin, then just begin somewhere... Significant subject matter is
everywhere, everything you observe has a meaning attached. Look deeper,
look closely, observe, record, interpret, re-interpret...
Produce
a body of sketches / drawings / visual notes. Annotate your drawings, use notes
or photographic
records to record additional details. Research and draw, draw and research and think through your drawing.
Bring
this work in development, to the CoP seminar on 24.10.14, then bring all work produced to the CoP
practical session on 31.10.14. Aim to produce a minimum of 20 pages full of information -
but this is a minimum guide amount as the approach to practice is highly individual.
The
process is not defined, you may even become part of the project - but you are
asked to go out on location to
find your subject matter.
themes which i could explore taking from the quotes i found interesting:
'growth is not necessarily good'
'every object has the capacity to stand for something other than what is apparent'
