Contextual Studies- 02.12.15

How people get their message across.

George the Poet- 'Mother Tounge'
-20 year old Cambridge university student. Talking about how he felt excluded when he went to Uganda as his mother could speak the tongue but he couldn't. Used a lot of alliteration, 'desperate, dispossessed', this highlighted his anger. 

Anish Kapoor- BBC Series 'Imagine'
-Uses novel like language. Mysterious object emerges from the landscape, eerie music is used to show disorientation. Reconfigured space. C curve. Overwhelming expanse. Both complex and simple.

Andrew Graham Dixon on Bridget Riley
-A critic who talks about the work of Bridget Riley, an optical artist 'Op Art'. He relates her work to one of an old master and he's very abstract in how he goes about it. Surging, almost musical piece of art. Riley's work dances, moves and pulses. Both use colour rhythm, flows. Uses very complex words when evaluating the two works against each other.

Mark Kermode Rants: Pirates of  the Caribbean 3.
-Film critic who believes the movie is misguided for a family movie as the film contains moderate horror. Criticises the actors. Mark believes lots of plots make for an out of kilter film. Went to town on slagging the movie off.
