COP Seminar: Lad Culture -Feedback and Peer and Teacher Review.


  • I will be attempting a Ralph Steadman-esque way of producing work... I think this will be a great artist to look at as I want my work to have a satirical yet dark aspect to it; a combination between life like and caricaturist. I also love the media he uses and the way he feels his way around the paper by just experimenting with ink splatters and emphasising the mood of the work through this process. I really like the way he incorporates animal features into his characters; this really links in to my project as I focus a lot on the pack mentality of lad culture. 
  • My Pinterest of a selection of Ralph Steadman's work: http://www.pinterest.com/dearalice1/ralph-steadman/
  • Get lot's of reportage work in my sketchbook! -university life; boys/girls/lecturers/lads/antilads/items/objects.
  • Fine line between messing about and serious issues. 
  • Pack mentality - constant throughout human history- useful and helpful but can go out of control... how does it go out of control? 
  • First time people are away from home: university.
  • Quickly want to find a group - human instinct - protection/survival.
  • Lad culture- bullying - boys and girls (being bullied and bullying - urgh hes such a girl/soft/weakling/pussy)
  • Ask Richard for theoretical research!
  • Lad sins - e.g. 'wifin' - get to the sin bin!
  • How people act in different groups depends on where theyre going/who theyre with/what the expectations of their behaviour are... what if I practically drew a juxtaposition - lads doing the unexpected
  • Typology - visually - objects
  • Young men are most vulnerably - high suicide risk/more likely to be attacked - pressure
  • Tutors aren't responsible for the students social life etc... no influence
  • Sanctuary of the Self - watch! - Construction of contemporary consumerism
  • International 
  • Drawing research 
  • Ken loach 
  • Time Machine - by HT Wells
  • Tokyo Godfathers
