i got my materials!

today i went out to hobbycraft and got the correct size canvas for my work its about 5ft tall! i have done more experements and sorted my paints out. ready to start making on monday! i will do my painting in a landscape format as the dimensions of the canvass are perfect for this. i will set it up with a small portable cd player and headphones. so the painting will come alive with the music. hopefully the genra offers nice "movement" shapes and organic lines so the arrangement flows. this will forfill the startword "movement".

my scetchbook ideas (read comments please)

what exactly is synaethesia.

syneasthesia is a condition in which the uccupant of the condition 'suffers' chemical crossovers in the brain synapse. the synapse is located in the cortex region of the brain (the wiggly bit) the sufferer could expierence sound to colour clashes or any other sort of crossovers. the type of syneastesia i am studying is the sound to colour expierence. wassily candinski is probably thee most famouse of all artists because of his "sound" paintings. people hadnt seen this type of work before so it got much public interest resulting in the diagnosis of the condition. after that synaethsesia lost interest in the scientists eye and was simpley dubbed unimportant because was "no physical aspects" to harm. many years passed and enentually people started becoming interested again.

what colour does this sound like?

My project is all about synaesthesia and its connection with sound and movement. people with this condition get scences mixed up in the brain. its actually quite a complicated condition with the subjects brain transmitters crossing over each other. these people really are wired differently. i think thats quite cool. wassily kandinski was a synaesthetic and he produces amazing sound paintings. he apoints the different notes on the stave with a different colour and paints to simulate the tempo. this is what i hope to do on my project. to produce a sound painting involving movement.

what I have learned about movement at the moment.

ok, right now i am educated in the basics of movement and some more interesting facts.
movement is a very wide subject involving anything from wind to the smallest of insects. it can have links as loose as sound (which is what i am focusing on) or radio waves. we can use physical objects in movement like opening a draw or door. so movement can link to everything even if the link is barely noticable.
one of the things i have reserched deeply is syneatheasia because it links sound to shapes and shapes to colour or sounds to colouyr. there are aproximatly 27 various different kinds of syneathesia. i am focusing on the sound to colour version as i can produce a sound painting in responce to movement. it will link with my reserch and the painting will suggest movement. as i links to movment loosly it will work.
my project is to produce a work in responce to movement. my key artist in my reserch is wassily kandinski. he produces sound paintings by appointing a note to a colour and dividing the ratio of colours to produce a graphical representation of the piece of music. he paints to the tempo to give the painting the right feel. soft sounds make a smooth painting and hard sounds make a harsh painting.

i will update this blogg when i lern something about movement
