Project Proposal - Idea 3 Money Issues - VAT Increase
My third idea is, on a sheet of card, A2 size, I would a someone in a supermarket with a trolley, and they would be looking at the price of a product with a shocked face.
On the card, I am going to have long supermarket shelves with many items on them with price tags. The price tags will be prices that you would not expect to pay for that item. For example, a loaf of bread, priced at £1.49 and a 2-litre bottle of coke for £1.99. Due to the recent VAT increase, this has inspired me to think of the idea.
In front of the supermarket shelves, I will then have a person with a trolley. The trolley will be nearly empty due to the price of items. The person is looking at the price of a product with a shock face due to it being very expensive.
To create this, I will need a sheet of A2 card, a drawing pencil, and colouring pens. When it comes to being displayed, it will be stuck on a wall with either blutac or pins. I think that it will work in the exhibition space, as it will draw the people in, as they would be interested in looking at it and they would agree with the character in the piece of work.
I want to communicate in my work that money can cause big issues. The VAT has increased and shop prices are increasing. I want the audience to be interested in my work. I don’t really know how I would expect them to react, as I don’t know that person that would be viewing it. For my mentor I would like to ask Steve Thorne, who is another media teacher at college. He has a history with art experience, so if I need any help or support he could guide me. What inspired me to do this, is the recent VAT increase and all the talk that has gone on about it. At the moment, I do not know of any creative practitioners that my idea could relate to.
