Foundation 2D Project 2 -Rhymes – Progress #2


I have decided to work on the Nursery Rhyme: A Dog and a Cat went out together.

Had a lot of fun experimenting with the tools in Photoshop,
below are some pictures related to this Nursery Rhyme.

A Dog and a Cat went out together.

A dog and a cat went out together,
To see some friends just out of town;
Said the cat to the dog,
“What d’ye think of the weather?”
“I think, Ma’am, the rain will come down.”

“But don’t be alarmed,
For I’ve an umbrella
That will shelter us both,”
Said this amiable fellow.


 

I find this Nursery Rhyme interesting to work on,
below are my understanding of the Nursery Rhyme.

  1. Dog & Cat – Getting a Dog & a Cat to accept each other is a difficult task.Some Dogs see Cats as prey and Cats who never lived with Dogs will likely see them as predators and will run or become defensive aggressive. Hence, the introduction of the Dog and Cat in this Nursery Rhyme explained the impossible possible.
  2. Accepting the unacceptable – “Interracial Marriage” came to my mind after reading through this Nursery Rhyme. “Interracial Marriage” is define as the marriage between two different racial group. That means Love Without Condition.
    In many cases, people of different racial group will raise their objection to the differences (The Rain), hence partners will experience conflicts or stuggles. Couples (Dog & Cat) should brave the weather in a positive way (The Umbrella) grow and learn so as to allow the general public (Friends just out of town) of the relationship.

I think it is important to mention about the relationship between the Dog and the Cat and possibly relate this to the twenty-first century. But of course, animal as representation of human context. – Not talking about mutation of Dog & Cat. Therefore, be flexible and open-minded when faced with arguments or displeasure.

Similar to the previous poem I’m working on: “What Does the Bee Do?”
Both talks about relationship but in the different context.
For “What Does the Bee Do?” – It talks about the cohesion between families inside the beehive.
Each Bee have a role in the house hence a awesome workforce.
For “A Dog and a Cat went out together” it’s more focus on the subjects rather than as a whole.


 

The Compositions:

Applying Surrealism into my concept – Trial 1
Doing my best to conceptualize the components for the compositions.
Hope I’m doing it right.
