BSA203, ProPrac, Project critique #2, 4 April, 2016

My current research question is "What developments does a memoir undergo when it morphs from static to moving images?"

With Chris MacDonald's tutelage, I've been photographing the existing pages of the journal and fixing them up in Lightroom and Photoshop.

The journals are currently in accordion form.  Should I recreate this for the final project or print them as a more traditional booklet? People are loving the accordion, so will explore integrating that with the doll sculpture.

Expression studies for "Boxed Up".  So many problems: cartoony, oversize eyes, and an insistence on drawing in bed while watching Netflix makes these studies insufficiently impressive.  Will keep working.

Lots of tree imagery in the books that I want to expand on, so I've done a weird study of a tree.... the roots look like a hand reaching out to crush or cradle the figure on the ground.  But really, that's just after the fact puffery.

What do I need to finish this thing?  What seasons are full and which need to be filled out?
