Gallery - Lesson 5 - Thursday 9th February 2017

We finalized questions and then walked around the room to find one that suited our piece best. We ended up choosing a science lab because it linked in with the theme of emotions and chemistry of the body. We are also going to place ourselves on top of the lab desks  because that is where experiments take place and so we will be the equivalent to the reaction taking place. This will make our piece site specific.

I also did extra research and found out that when different elements react with fire, they turn different colours. I might incorporate this into the coloured paint and link the harshness of different elements with different emotions (and so the coloured paint for that emotion). However, it could get complicated and be unnecessary so we'll decide by next week.

We also decided that we would wear all white instead of putting the paint onto our skin and being in underwear. This is because otherwise we won't have enough time to remove the paint and start our show which is going to be immediately after this performance.
