FMP thoughts so far.

Starting my FMP,i had a rough idea of what I want as my finished piece first off(whether I want it to be fine art,a garment etc) and as I am into fashion I would like to end with a garment.Although it depends on how I want my actual fmp subject to come across.I had brainstormed,and I thought whatever I come up with I keep thinking and reminding myself,i want the final piece to relate to people,how they feel or whats going on in their lives and bring across good or bad emotions,make people react when they look at it.I began to think about reality,the general idea of what our generation and the "real world" is all about nowadays.This brought more society into mind,social media,social network,celebrities etc.My FMP needs to be something I am actually interested in and feel strongly about which is why I am happy with this idea as it is such a wide range of what I could go into with this I can look more and more into it to get a really good final piece.
My starting point was looking at how girls are meant/expected to look now,and I looked into Barbie dolls and how they are meant to be seen as the perfect girl,slim,blonde,blue eyes,no imperfections or difference/edge to her.I experimented with drawing Barbie dolls in a different way.I am planning on buying some Barbie dolls and experimenting more with them as a sculpture piece to try out.This made me think of all the fakery there is,plastic surgery,makeup,fake hair,nails,skin colour.This doesn't mean im saying its a bad thing if a girl wants to do that if they feel it builds their confidence and makes them feel good but its the fact they have been almost brainwashed to think that,looking up to celebrities and especially boys have a big impact on all this because girls do this to impress them.
After thinking of that,i thought of stereotypes.How a girl is meant to be and how a boy is meant to be.I experimented with this idea with abstract/fine art.
I then looked more into bullying,which involves cyber bullying,social networks,not being who everyone expects you to be,even as a young person.I found some good artists who create cyber bullying art.Also looking into
Liu Bolin's work who camouflages him self into the background,which portrays feeling invisible and not important in my point of view.I will possibly try out his work in my own way.

I went back to the whole society stage,celebrities,magazines,newspapers,television programmes and looked more into detail with it and got to a serious stage of looking into actual important history making stories that are all over the world, government,new world order politics and even our universe.
As even before we began our FMP I was getting into all of that already so i thought it is a good time to let it all out on my work.All the research id be doing anyway in my own time when I am bored,to put it in my actual work.Ive been looking into the secret behind it all,the brainwashing silly programmes on tv that everyone in the world watches and gets sucked into when it is actually brainwashing us.The articles we read,the question that is being asked is why should we believe the people that write the news and everything.
I looked into artists that relate their work to this so I have back up as to what I am trying to portray.
I have been looking into abstract expressionism and protest art.
