This week we have a collection project. When we got the instructions I did not really understood what does the collection mean. I collected some photos of my favorite book covers, because it is really close for my soul and it can express my individual personality. However, I did not understand than i needed to print them down, so i quickly went to the shop and bought some magazines to make a new collection. My new collection was about different types of mimics especially eyes and lips. I made this choice o collection, because I think that on fashion photoshoots people usually do not express real emotions and their looks or make ups are not daily,which we can wear in crowds. This way, I collected details and then made  thee different types of collections of same things (that was the exercise). This collection revealed that in majority models have  staging smile and respectively eyes do not smile and their mimics are not sincere. That made me feel not to trust to that «happiness». Moreover, I found that depending of the type of collecting we can make different conclusions at the end of the work. For instance, it was how I felt founding differences between people- a very big curiosity. They were all like from different lives, but it make it even more interesting to accentuate it. Today I learned many ways to organize collections and depending on the idea you can choose any method, and each time from from the first sight same things borns absolutely different new art projects with different semantic load. Even though I don’t like making collections I think that I acquiredvery usefull skills.
 
Our next task for “Collection” project was to go to the park and collect whatever will interest us. Although for me park was always a place of childish innocence, entering it, the first thing I ran into were bottle caps, beer bottles, cigarette butts. I also have noticed that even though we say that a park is where you enjoy nature, there are actually a lot of material pieces (like children area, lamps, branches). Moreover, most of it is made in green and red colours, which is funny in terms of how these colours are different (red - aggressive, green – calming). On this point, I remembered my last lips and eyes collection and questioned whether the environment influence on how we position our lips, whether being in the park makes you smile. Therefore, I decided to mix the collection of lips with the images from the park. Afterwards, when we came back to the class I decided to change my collection, because i coundn't find an interesting solution for my outcome. In our park collection i found an old prospectus, so it made me think about how not actual events beganto to be just a rubbish paper. This way I found the idea for my outcome.

I really enjoyed going around to each piece giving feedbacks fors without the owner of the artwork discribing. I think it was really useful because it made us learn how to critic an art piece and it make clear how people react on the art piece,becouse sometimes people do not understand the idea of artist at all.
