Blog entry 15:
My Dissertation is intended to feed into my Concept project by providing me with a better understanding of how the hand has been used in art to act as a semiotic or political signifier to the human condition. I have decided to base my research on a number of images which have been created using different mediums, at different times and in different cultures, as I feel that this is the best way to understand how humanity all over the world and at different points throughout history have viewed the hand in art. I intend to use my dissertation to answer questions I have about certain aspects in my Concept module.
My dissertation plan is as follows:
Introduction: (1,200 words)
Starting Paragraph
Literature review (to lead on from first
paragraph)
Paragraph to close intro
Chapter 1: (2,500 words)
How the hand can
convey sophisticated or complex human ideas in art
Concepts of emotion or feeling
conveyed through hand gesture in art
Chapter 2: (2,500 words)
Gender as something that can be defined or portrayed through how the hands are positioned
Conclusion (1000 words)
