Disclaimer: The following showcases the process towards my final artwork, that shows my thought process, all the ideas I thought of which includes rejected ideas, research. So it can get pretty messy. Think of it as my visual journal 🙂

Russian Constructivism

Constructivism has its origins from Russia in the year 1913 and was a development from the Russian Futurism after World War I. It was a movement created by the Russian avant-garde.

It involved creating completely abstract work with a blend of modernity. Often times, we see geometric and experimental forms which are rarely emotional. It is meant to convey a universal meaning rather than personal meanings.

Famous artists include Vladimir Tatlin, Kasimir Malevich, Alexandra Exter, Robert Adams, and El Lissitzky.

Vladimir Tatlin was central to the birth of Russian Constructivism.

He was largely influenced by Picasso’s Cubist and Russian Futurism. He wanted to create art with modern purposes.  He was trained as an icon painter, but was eventually inclined to the possibilities of materials in his work such as metal, glass and wood. He believed that the materials an artist used should reflect their capacities that explores its uses. His most remembered work was his Monument to the Third International (1919-20) – a design for the Communist International headquarters which unfortunately was realised as a model but never built.

NEW IDEA

I decided that dark jobs just didn’t seem suitable enough. So I changed it to Evil Villains instead. Unfortunately, I have to remove Crime Scene Investigator from the list.

Other Villan Jobs:

• Witch
• World Dominator
• President of USA
• Serial Killer
• Clown
• Lawyer

	Evil Villain Job	Alter Ego	Location	Items
1	Mafia	Mdm F	Hideout	Gambling table, Stacks of drugs, money, jewelleries
2	Mad Scientist	Professor Fizzy	Science Lab	Beaker, chemicals, thermometer, smoke, pipes
3	Hacker	fakepizza	Dark Basement	Monitors, Hacking screens, fakepizza virus, world map on screen
4	Assassin	nn	On top of a high rise building	Apartment, windows, road, cars,

Sketches

Comments from Consultation:

• Link all 4 jobs together
• Form an evil organization
• For Mad Scientist, the current set up didn’t appear “mad” enough – more suitable for a normal Scientist
