Unit 11.... "Self Identity"............

Unit 11.... "Self Identity"............

For Unit 11 we have been asked to do a blog and to express "Self Identity"

For this Unit i am going to explore my Identity and show what i have done that has given me an inspiration...

For my final piece will be influenced by a vist to my "African Culture" and "Asain Culture" as I have explored an Artist who has gone back to his Culture to show his feelings and his roots of where he has come from.

"Yinka Shonibare" is the artist who I will be exploring and who has given me an inspiration as what I want to do for my final piece.

For my final piece i have chosen two different topics that expresses me and that is "Aliens" and my "Culture" which is African and Asian Culture.
I am  fascinated with Aliens as I am "Agnostic" if they are or they are not "out-there"... Aliens is a topic that makes me think of the "outer world" and I enjoy looking at Aliens and their features as they don't look like how i predict however I find interesting looking at them and how they "are" meaning what they do and what are their feature. This fantasy of Aliens which I am going to explore will show my interest and "Aliens" are facinating creatures which each artists show their view towards them.
I am going to add my Culture "African and Asian" to express my own roots and this is what i will at to my "Aliens" as making them unique and to show my identity by making them in every emotions that relates to me and to show who I am.

Yinka Shonibare- African Artist

He Is into Alien and she has blended the African Culture and Aliens as they are African Aliens which has sculpt. His inspiration was the history and culture or Africa as he also used politics to make his work unique…




All types of unique Aliens and the "Aliens" which Yinka Shonibare made....

 

Yinka Shonibare is an artist who made his culture with his work as he sculpted many different types of “Aliens” as “Aliens” was one of his genres.

About him and his life… “Yinka Shonibare was born in London in 1962 and moved to the Nigerian capital of Lagos when he was just three years old. He studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art, London in 1984-9 and completed a BA at Goldsmiths College, London in 1991. Shonibare considers himself ‘truly bi-cultural’ and strives to open up debate about the social, cultural and political issues that shape our histories and construct identity. His works challenge assumptions about representation by playfully blurring the boundaries between stereotypically Western ideas about ‘high’ art and traditional categorisations of ‘African art.

My interest in my Culture Aliens is to show who I am as my "Self Identity" project also this shows my influences to what artist have influensed me and what can I show for my own Identity to my interest and my influences.
