Concentration Study

  Alright, so about the muscles of a human figure (though i'm sure not many people are like that, i am trying to exaggerate the curves on my recent piece):
  

Concentration Research

  Now that my concentration idea is about figures in motion, i am trying to find the most interesting gestures a figure can make. Also, i want to depict the tension of the muscles as detail as i can.





















Searching figures in motion:










I've also come up with a possible idea to illustrate how sports can help one to escape from too much technological devices. When i stick the keyboard buttons on my soccer sculpture, i think maybe i can make a another one of a person with his hand reaching out from a computer screen or something.

Rethinking my idea of concentration

  My recently settled concentration idea is about music, an indispensable part of my life. I thought of combing two different instruments like making a piano shaped violin, but i found that even myself is confused - how is the shape going to look like? Also, i think it would be better to use steel to construct it, which makes the project even more difficult. The second reason that i am abandoning the idea "Music" is that, I have a feeling that music is itself interpretive enough that it is hard to convey an "artistic activity" with another form of artistic interpretation. For example, i felt that modeling a sculpture of "two hands holding tightly on a microphone to express the singer's high note" is too straightforward and lacking tension, especially when i cannot craft the veins and muscles well.
  So now i want to change my concentration idea to "a series of figures in motion". I have had many ideas already, and i feel more comfortable working in this wide zone because i won't have to worry about surpassing the range. The very important aspect to me now is to find the right material, and i am now willing to take risk - to use steel, wood, or plaster, materials that i've never used before.
  A basketball dunking figure, a soccer ball player, a guitar player, a singer, a motorcycle rider, a dancer, and a tennis player...


   

Concentration Brain Storm: Music

Also, Patrick had given me some ideas about fussing to different kinds of music instruments, like making a piano-shaped guitar or combining a violin with piano.
