Work of Art Proposal

The subject of my inquiry is I. The compelling experience that I will create is a painted picture, depicted cinematically as a work of art. That is, I will create film footage of the painting of a drawing I did several years ago, showing the efforts and activities that go into producing a product of artistic investment. The forms that might be closely looked at are visual forms and aural forms, which each give rise to their intended counterpart in the viewer/listener on their own; the recombined form of the two will be examined as generative of a synergistic experience. 

My plan for exploring and discovering how the work of art that goes into making this experience compelling is to alter the visual forms in relation to the aural forms, while maintaining coherence between the two through a consistent visual subject and resounding an accent within the forms of music employed and the timing in which image and audio interrelate. 

This plan seems to me to be an effective one because it provides variables by which an experience may be gauged. The altering of visual form in relation to consistent aural form, or the transmutation of aural morphs relative to static spatial dimensions enables the experience to be more readily discernible in accord to what is taking place visually and audibly. By enabling this distinction, the exploration may engage such inquiries regarding the relevancy of image to audio, and of motion to stillness. 

These basic relationships are in themselves coagulated forms that shape and distort the experience of a viewer. By refining and reforming the relationships between the arranged constituents it exaggerates the effect that visual information and aural information have on a viewer/listener and the ways in which such effects contribute to or dilute/constrict the degree to which an experience is compelling. 

I will discuss the experience I am undergoing in the process of painting, as well as the experience of creating the cinematic work of art.
