For my FMP I have been looking into distortion and how beauty is manipulated by the media therefore our perception of beauty is distorted; this development was based on the advertisement I found made by Dove beauty campaign. I really liked this and created some similar experiments with eyes of models flipped upside down, this made them looked very uncanny and strange, distorting the entire perception. I then went on to paint this edit I made on the computer because I want to produce more paintings so that I can present my portfolio with the style that I wish to take foward. Once I had created the piece (which was not yet quite finished) I was told about the sublime and uncanny exhibition that Mark held at the college, so this my work fitted in perfectly so I decided to enter it for this small exhibition within college. I was great to see people looking and admiring work, it was also brilliant that my work was on the poster for the exhibition advertisement.
Painting
The painting side of the work was amazing as always, I used oils for the work which worked great. I have been using oils for a couple of my paintings now and I feel like they work amazingly well. At first the picture looked very strange because I was painting the eyes upside down but towards the end of the work it began to look normal, as an experience I found this very odd abd disturbing to think how something so distorted can start to seem 'normal'.
