Inner Landscape (part 1)

Research and develop ideas

I am doing on no.2 'The secret garden is nothing but a toilet bowl'.

These are some of the ideas that come into my mind when i see this title.

When seeing the word 'secret garden', first thing come into my mind is the book last time i read. It is about a little girl staying in a house which is big and quite broke down. There is a garden been locked up which is this secret garden.



















So the first drawing i drew was the secret garden.And someone living there.




Then later i think about putting the toilet bowl inside a flower and flowers inside the toilet bowl.



I think in the toilet bowl, there might be creatures living.The cute types and the monster types.



Last of all, i think that flowers are growing on the toilet bowl. And then i think of the toilet bowl is the only thing that is beautiful, so outside the toilet bowl is ugly.


Synopsis outlining mood/ tone pace & key moments:

The happiness of living without knowing that their world is inside the toilet bowl.What we see in life might not be real.The mood is quite joyful to sadness after knowing what is their world is.The tone pace is from lively fast to slowly down to sadness. The key moment is when they all find they are in the toilet bowl.

Concept development

My 5 sets of thumbnail sketches are:

1.


This girl come out her house and saw the place are all flowers.Like any normal living things.Then, it start to rain and something started to drop down and form houses. And guess what they are living in the toilet bowl which a person have just finish doing his business.
The first shot is a P.O.V shot.Second is a full shot. Third is a full shot. Fourth, i want to do a upshot. Fifth, i wanna do a pan shot. Lastly, is a zoom out.

2.


It shows some seed growing out into some creatures. And they start to dance around happily.Zooming out is actually showing they are the shits in the toilet bowl and the person started to flush it.And they are all gone.
First is a full shot. Second is a full shot too. Third is to down shot. Fourth is zoom out. Fifth, i want to do a down shot too. Lastly is a full shot.

3.


A guy went into the toilet and look at the toilet bowl for a while.He pick it up and break it into 2.In it is a secret garden, there are small creatures living inside. The small creatures die as their world was been discovered.
First is a over the shoulder(o.t.s). Second is a down shot from the boy. Third is a full shot. Fourth, i want to do a point of view shot(p.o.v). Fifth is a zoom in shot. Lastly is a wide close-up.

4.


She is in a scary graveyard and suddenly saw zombies coming out walking towards her. All the dead people start to rise from the death and wolf started to howling.She ran until a dead end,she was so frighten that she pee out. She jump out of the toilet bowl and flush it. Opening the toilet's door, all the monster are still outside.
First is a full shot. Second is a pan shot. Third, i want a over the shoulder(o.t.s). Fourth is a full or down shot. Fifth is a middle close-up shot. Lastly is a over the shoulder(o.t.s) or point of view shot(p.o.v).

5.


A boy jump into the toilet bowl. Inside he starts to do meditation while floating. He comes to an island and saw small creatures. They started to play together. But he suddenly took a sword out and kill all the creatures. He jump out the toilet bowl and flushing it,but he didn't know someone is flushing him too.
First is a full shot. Second is a pan shot. Third is a over the shoulder(o.t.s) or a wide close-up. Fourth, i want it to be a upshot or full shot. Fifth is either a full shot or upshot(to let the audience to feel being the victim. Lastly is a zoom out out shot.


All have the main message is
" Never Overlook or Underlook on what we see."



The artistic influences:

I am influences by Edward Gorey. Most of his works are surrealist art. Some people classify him as a cartoonist, an illustrator who wrote or writer who drew. His work are literary nonsense(plays with convention of language and logic through a careful balance of sense and non-sense element. Its strict to structure is balanced by semantics chaos and plays with logic. Usually formal diction and toner genre is easily recognizable by various techniques it uses to create nonsense is often caused by an excess of meaning, rather than lack of it.) , yet there is no one category that can encompass the great variety of style and subject in his many books.
I am influence by him with his cartoon drawing, his story are mostly cartoon in a more frightening ways.


Robert Sabuda, is a leading children;s pop-up book artist and paper engineer. He does fantasy storys, his famous pop-up story is 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' and 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.
I am influence by his cute cartoon in a more adventure likes.


Francisco Goya, he did more on scary painting.Goya was himself undergoing a physical and metal breakdown. 'Saturn devouring his sons' which display a greco-Roman mythological scene of the god Saturn consuming a child, reference to Spain's ongoing civil conflicts. 'Deafened and driven half-mad' the scenes are singularly disturbing, an outraged conscience in the face of death and destruction.
I am influence by his work in doing a little scary into my drawing.Using some frighten image in my drawing.


I adapt all this artists in different ways to put in my sketches to create my own. Mostly, or should i say all is into cartoons and in a journey to inside the toilet bowl.Edward Gorey's style made me to do my sketches to be cute and the same time give people a feeling of nonsensical in my thumbnail sketches. While Robert Sabuda influence more in the using other people's ideas to become your own. So i do all my sketches is more cartoon like style.


pls do give comments to improve my work.

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition provokes comparison and contrast betwwen different objects put together.Juxtaposed object often convey ideas that contradict each other. A contradiction arises when two ideas make each other seem impossible or illogical. Artisits may use juxtaposition to draw our atention to certain objects in an artwork or make us think more carefully about the objects that are put together.

Example1: Golconda
The piece depicts a scene of identical men dressed in dark overcoats and bowler hats, who seem to be falling like rain or floating like helium-balloons (though there is no actual indication of motion), against a backdrop of buildings and blue sky. It is humorous, but with an obvious criticism of the conventional effacing of individuality. To let people think that in reality human really can not fly







Example2:The Liberator, 1947

The man in the painting is shown holding a candlestick with a beautiful face in it in one hand and a walking stick in the other. These two objects are juxtaposed.
Which want to show us that peace is wanted, the life of his is how.















Example3: The Son of Man

The painting consists of a man in a suit and a bowler hat standing in front of a small wall, beyond which is the sea and a cloudy sky. The man's face is largely obscured by a hovering green apple. However, the man's left eye can be seen peeking over the edge of the apple.

The name "Son of Man" is believed to have derived from the Abrahamic creation story. The modern businessman is the son of Adam, and the apple represents temptation (with which one is still faced in the modern world).
Shown it is impossible to have the apple stick on the face.
