Set Project: Tell me a story

Let me tell you a story...

Today, we have been focusing on the measure of the background story behind the art. I believe, that every piece of art telling the events making somebody cry or cheer.

My story of (telling) my great desires

It will be a story of the things that never happened in my life. However, I strongly believe that I keeping a connection with the past. You feel that you do not belong to the present. You are miserable, alone, have no one to share with your thoughts. The only desire is to come back to the place matching with your life ''flashbacks''.

It will be a story of my miserable feelings as being set in this world in these times. From time to time I have flashy ''drawbacks'' to the time which I have never experience. As a matter of fact, I find myself strongly connected to the last century. The worst thing is, that I cannot change it. Not magically, mentally. 

I would only wish to have a time capsule. 

So, Let's say that you have one chance to use it.

You can select the year and place.

And what you want to wear, for instance, a fur coat.

Apple shop on Baker Street in London, 1967

And ta-da! You are in the opposite to refurbished Apple shop* in London in 1967!

*Known as the first The Beatles business ventures. There, they were selling clothes and accessories. The control under the design of the building has been taken by The Fool company. The ''head'' designer, Barry Finch with dozen of art students painted the colourful mural in front of the building. Apparently, without council permission. Within two weeks, local trades persuaded authorities to step in order to repaint the building in its original colour.

You are amazed at the work they have done. You walk down the street and see nothing but rare old cars and fancy-looking clothes. Which turns up to belong to the man talking with the painter. You do not hesitate, and you trying to get closer to them. 


They were saying something about the unrealistic journey. You assumed that certainly are in the right years. So, why not suggest something? They noticed your presence. After a long silence, you start talking about how splendid the mural is. Then you recalling yourself as an artist. They are staggered and persuaded by the conversation with you. 
After a while, the man wearing a yellow coat with fur assembles offering you a tour of the lifetime. If you let yourself go, you can experience the most unimaginable things. You can't refuse.


He is taking you to the bus station. And you see the most non-ordinary coach waiting to take you away to the marvellous places. But first... Do you want to buy a ticket?








If so, there is a proposed schedule:
Penny Lane, 
The Fool On the Hill, 
Your Mother Should Know, 
I Am The Walrus.

    This was enjoyable to read - almost as bizarre as watching the film itself. I like the idea of feeling nostalgic for an experience you never had in a period that you didn't exist - could you work this concept into your project? Could you use some of this text as part of your final outcomes? Could your images illustrate parts of this text? Could the project be you time travelling back to the Magical Mystery Tour and illustrating that story??

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Art Portfolio Project: First update - The story

 When I took a look for the sign off sheet, it made me think about the story for my Leporello. I pointed out the initial ideas and spirit of the whole story.  It will not be act-playing roles, no dialogues. This six pieces story will take a viewer into a mysterious world of Native Americans.  I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want to present the culture and sense of spiritual world perceive by tributes eyes. I interested in the beliefs of this culture. I want to start explaining the background for the strip. Native Americans believed that all living things were watching over by guardian spirits. That could be; trees, wind, animals or people. Mostly, forces of nature.  Usually, the young boys were overcoming the ''journey'' to become a man. They believed that the guardian spirit, once fund, would bestow a special power on the boy and then, he would return to the tribe. Meaning of great spirit was a bit similar to be watched by an angel in the Christian religi...
