This project was really helpful for me because it refined my direction for the class and gave me a lot of interesting are to conduct some further research.
I based my idea for this project the essay "Body ritual among the Nacirema." This essasy describes american traditions of hygene from a purely anthropolicical viewpoint. It focouses on magic and a general sense of absurdity that surrounds a lot of our rituals of our body.
I chose to work in more a direction that is more consumer oriented for this project. Secondly, I was wanting to work on transition points between compositions, because I feel that I am weak in that aspect.
This project seeks to point out how many of the promiment activities of our culture can be reduced to symbols, and when the become these symbols there meaning is condensed and instantly clear. I rendered these symbols with the word "magic" repeated continously. On each symbol is also a label that simply states "i believe in magic"
This project made me realize that I am really interested in the customs, rituals, and symbols that surround us, how they are formed, and what they say about us a society. In fact, I feel that all of my projects this far can fit under this concept.
So Ive been absent, but in case if you missed it........
