After coming back from the christmas break, we have started term two with a project based around flight. This project is very open and we can base it around our own interpretation of the word flight.
I wanted to avoid the obvious themes of flight such as birds, planes and feathers. Instead I am basing my project around 1900's transport such as hit air balloons, trains, cars, bikes, horse and carriages. I came to thinking of wanting to do this from the film 'The Great and Powerful Oz', in the very beginning scenes of the film when they are in Kansas, the setting is a circus. What made me think of this was the tornado which carried oz to Munchkin land, their flight in the tornado, however, I am going to be taking inspiration from the era and the hit air balloon which carried oz into the Munchkin land.
I do feel as if I will really enjoy this project, I can see a lot of potential designs and pathways that I could take this project with.
