Storyboard - time travel your sleep (From a females point of view):
As you fall into a slumber, you end up travelling into a different timeline. In this one, you travel back into the 1940s where the people are energetic and ‘Swing dancing’ was very popular, as you look down you realise you’re in completely different clothes to the one that you went to sleep in, you get snapped out of your thoughts by being dragged into an energetic swing dance routine.
A digital painting of some of the well known countries in Africa; Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Congo, South Africa and Sudan. This art piece represents that no matter what part of Africa you are from, you are all the same and need each other.
3D Clay Sculpture Work: This sculpture work was greatly inspired by African culture as a whole as my theme in Year 13 is ‘Visual Arts of Africa’.
This clay piece has the meaning of showing the truth and and what makes Africa the way it is, one half of the face is more of a tribal traditional side of Africa with one of the classic hairstyles called ‘bantu knots’ as well as having tribal marks on the face which was supposed to make people scary. The other side of the face is more of the recent Africa that is presented today such as wearing a head tie which is main from the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria who call it ‘gele’. The fabric round the neck which is supposed to represent the different countries in Africa and both time periods both wore such jewelry around the neck, especially in Kenya, it also shows the union in ‘Old Africa’ and ‘New Africa’.
Even though Africa isn’t perfect which is shown through the deliberate imperfect eyes, both old and new have had a big impact on Africa as a whole.
