My first initial thoughts for Variation and similarity could all fall under a possible three categories, that I could further expand and apply into one project as whole.

• The first premises I have, consists under the inspiration of fine art. Fine art is the basis of how the beauty of life has evolved throughout time in many different forms and expressions. The work of artists such as Van Gogh and Monet represent a more romantic presentation of fine art however more modern innovators such as Damien Hirest and Marc Quinn, show a more possessive inventive exploration of humanness through their work. The common denominator of these artists illustrate a celebration of the wonder of natural diversity. Artists use their expression of form of work in order to create a significance and meaning to each object and person, inflicting their own personal emotions through their canvas. The large amount of monotony and self proclaimed metaphors through their work leads to form new social conventions and not just images of fine art. It shows how something which was once mundane, can now be used to express meaning and value.  This diversity within fine art and culture, led me to run off and see the connections between art and diversity based off individual DNA. As spoken about previously DNA is one of the defining factors which is both a variation and a similarity within everything living on the planet. This combination of formality and uniformity, could be used to define the formality or standards of what could and should be seen as art. This could be asked on an individual subject premises, or more of a formal experimentation to the meaning behind the DNA and why a piece of art was created, and for what purpose does it inflict and show social conventions. For this project I could either look into how far art has and can go for what reason, what the importance is individual and the relations people experience from an art piece due tot theirDNA, or the formality of myself photographing fine art piece and creating my own fine art piece. The study of fine art in photography, is usually categorised into bodily, landscape or more innovative pieces, which are piece of constructed fine art. Below I have separates some piece that I believe could really help with the further route of my images. The fine art piece themselves, this is a reaction to real art.

• This development of my first ideas, revolve around work which has such a significance meaning  is no longer an image but is more contemporary piece of art. This means unlike more concept based photography, this work is so much more subjective and and shows attitudes of artistic fluidity and line throughout all of the pieces. One of the pieces that struck me the most is the first piece. It too was inspired by a Picasso cubism stylistic form, and the mould of the bodily from. The pattern and form is suggestive throughout the piece, it flows in and out creating a dynamic presentation of the human DNA. I started off looking into fine art by the influences of to what extent is art art. I believe expressing studies of photography in an arrangment of more abstract images which show shapes, almost mimics the way art has progressed to be more then just pretty pictures, but an intellectual statement from a point of view. Further research into the development of fine art and photography: My idea for the using artists such as Monet and van Gogh in order to show and explore how are has evolved. Is perhaps re creating some of their most influential paintings into photography, and perhaps moulding their techniques into mine. This first idea is developing a similarity to the fine art pieces, this being a  a sense of mimicry of the artistic piece themselves. I believe I could then use the style of the artist chosen and either paint or edit the image into that stylistic manner. For example If I was using van Gogh, I could take images of beautiful night skys, and sun flowers. Then further edit the piece to be light and use small strokes observing the artist. I could animate videos inspired by each artists, or even animate the images I have chosen to move in the same way as the painting look as though they would move if they could. I chose to move just parts of the photos, in the same manner, just in order to create a flowing necessity to the pieces themselves. I belive if I both mimic the feeling and then the style I could really develop feeling of the artists work. 

• I was too inspired by these pieces. It too shows a further possible development in order to express a certain style to the images. I believe it would be very hard to edit these images, but it shows  the expression of how an art piece is painted, and changes the connotations and meaning behind the paintings. Overall with the following notions of developing both the concept of what fine art is, the conceptual meaning behind it, and turning and re creating my own work into such influential pieces, by developing their own stye and movement, will really achieve a sense of variation and similarity, being similar to the artists but still using my own imagery.
