FMP-Ideas-Hip Hop

I have three different ideas to based on hip hop so far.

1. Make a series of illutrations showing how hip hop has changed today from what it used to be, which will be titeld 'the history of hip hop'
2. Make a series of illutrations using thethe four main elements of hip hop: Djing, B-boying, Mcing and Graffiti.
3. Base my work on the art of B-boying and make a short video and some illustrations about it.

FMP-Influences- Can't Stop Won't Stop A history of the hip hop Generation by Jeff Chang

I've recently brought this book so i can gain more knowledge of the hip hop culture. The introduction of the book was by Dj Kool Herc who is considered the founder of hip hop. He talks about what hip hop says to him, which is ''come as you are'' and it's about connecting one to one, this is the reason why it has universal appeal.

FMP-Artist Research- Jean-Michel Basquiat

I like how Basquiat looks at his heritage, cultural identity and poetry in his artwork, like his style of painting came from the ' African Diaspora'.

FMP-Artist Research- Richt

I like how Richt uses organic shapes to make up his characters face.

FMP-Artist Research- Keith Harwing

Keith Harwing uses alot of religous refferences in his artwork to represent his sexuality, he may do this to show how much he belives it's right and that it is ok to be homosexual.

FMP-Artist Research- Mario Wagner

I like the cut and paste style Mario uses, It reminds me of russian constructivism. it allows him to make things look more abstract for example in one of his pictures he uses some lips alone instead of having a face.
