In art, I am doing my portfolio. This means doing two large panals consisting of about 11 different pictures of still life drawings. No human form is allowed unless it is specific body parts RELATING to the surrounding objects.

There must be a reoccuring theme.

I have chosen my theme as either burlesque or vaudeville.

They're both the same but vaudeville is probably a bit disguising for what the NZQA department might deem a reather macabre topic for our age group.

 

Anyway, I'm sending my art teacher these links for research just now.

I'm still tittling and editing them so don't be suprised to see that I've edited my post as well Wink2:

 

I've decided my first picture will be a headless, lagless, armless mannequin with a red corset on it.

The background is in a grey with a hint of blu (one of the art teachers said I should not use just flat grey) and the mannequin is on a table and around the bottom of it (the manni.) there are cakes, candles, jewelery, make-up and other random objects.

Behind the corset has tails so that when the mirror behind the corset reflects, I will not have to draw all the random items again in reverse.

 

Does this make sense?

Happened to watch CSI New York last night by fluke (as I never do), and the episode centered around a murdered girl who was part of Burlesque-ish, punk-rock, partly lesbian group of entertainers. It reminded me of this thread.

Here are a couple of back-to-back videos of some of the more risque scenes:

I apologize in advance for the link that seems caters to a chauvinistic audience.
