Sara Fanelli report

Sara Fanelli's work leans towards the more absurd spectrum of illustration, demonstrated by her use of unrefined and surreal elements that have strong links to Dadaism. The philosophical questions she posed in many of her earlier artworks still hold true to this day.

Eyes

For the first report, I constructed an image that incorporated Sara Fanelli's signature use of eyes in her works. A basic background and figure works well alongside the detailed photographs within the head. As well as this, the simplicity of the character is juxtaposed by the complex emotions shown through their eyes. (1)

Digital Collage

For the second report, I made an illustration based off of one of my own profound questions. Inside the shell of the man are all the elements that I perceive to make up a man, which are their own separate illustrations. Some of these are more abstract, for instance, the arrow represents a clear sense of direction, while the storm-cloud shows that a man needs to understand and express his emotions.

Existential Illustration

For the third report, I created a simple text-based illustration, posing an existential question to the viewer. The square borders represent conformity and a sense of being trapped, and are coloured with monotonous grey and white. I have added a traditional prison ball-and-chain, which takes the shape of a question mark at one end, as if leading on from the above text.

Traditional Collage

For the final report, I made a paper collage using various snippets and images from a regulated woman's magazine. The collage was made to demonstrate the rubbish and unwanted gossip that is published in these types of magazines on a consistent basis. It is in a tree shape to show how much of a waste of paper celebrity magazines are. (2)
