Sketches and Dosh *

Bloggers,
             This week did not start off as productive as I hoped. I have been working on the development of little sketches of the near-to-no contents of my purse which I will put up in another blog, and also on the plan for my project! We have a review next week which I have to be prepared for so I seriously must get focused!

              Originally I was going to do my project on the "Movement and Motion" of the human eye but I moved on to Money instead- money gets moved by human interaction through the hand to hands all over the world... I wanted to expand on that ?

Bloggers,
               We got the project title "Movement and Motion", so ive decided to stray from the norm of body, wind, water and I am now doing my project on the "Movement and Motion" of Money.
Im planning on showing the journey from the beginning of money...trade,barter.. to electronic forms and creations out of money. In China money has holes through the centre so that it can be worn on a necklace and in some tribes such as the Kayan tribe Thailand wear gold rings around their necks which show beauty and wealth- find a husband with lots of money?
I have made a few copies of coins using filler and painted them to look like the original.

At the minute I am drawing up a picture to show how the use of money has come about- trade fish for corn or something like that! I will be posting another small blog by the end of this week again- I have to try and keep on top of it! In Dublin in the "National Museum of Ireland-Collins Barracks" there is an exhibition that shows some of the money that was used from the 10th Century to date, I hope to travel up to it in the next few weeks and may put up a few blog posts after it!

Introduction to me

Bloggers, 
              My name is Dearbhaile, Im currently a first year in LSAD studying Art and Design. Im going to be posting blogs regularly showing updates of my work and little parts of my life!
