the beginning of the Whitebook

 

The whitebook is a journal and a personality series meant to boost my confidence and ability to work behind and in front of the camera as a model and an art creative. The reason behind this is to have an origin story and let people have an understanding of my vision and content and of course an inspiration for others to follow in my footsteps. My opinions will be expressed in different questions and statements leading to the completion of my profile and pending art notion. I decided to use the name The whitebook because I wanted a piece of myself in my work. The originating from my name “Gabriella” this allows me to imprint on my ideas and personality contrast. Whitebook is just word play inspired by the racial and tribal conflicts in both personal and professional experiences. I want to picture myself or at least what I want to become through my work before letting it onto the world.

As an original manuscript  The whitebook: The Leading Notion will contain both fulfilled and unfinished projects as well as outlined visions and my journal entry perspectives supporting each of them. I believe modelling is a craft that people look down upon without understanding that like other platforms, it gives artists the chance to collaborate and bring ideas to life and is just as important as any other platforms   in our daily lives.  In most occasions modelling is used to promote propaganda[1] in politics, ethics, history and fashion which is why in my opinion is the reason why most artists who go against those propagated principles are deemed as radicals[2]. I do believe that living in a world of free thinkers and liquid minds[3]   maybe a contributing factor to the never-ending interpretation of art and its crafts.

Given the over turning events in the world, some of the world famous arts creations are then interpreted to fit the political, social, economic, technological and religious weather. I grew up believing that art is time inelastic or only relates to the time it was created but as time went I then realize that art is a middleman between opinions of the past, present and future. A lot of people see modelling as a way of promoting unattainable standards of beauty and lifestyle but I have always seen it as an artistic craft of presenting art creations in a lively and realistic set up. A model carries the responsibility of both explaining the artwork and revealing the emotions behind it. We get this though posture and formation of the model during presentation and it is up to the model to match the energy of the artwork and give an astonishing show.

Change is inevitable and its time people change the way they see arts and its crafts. This notion is just the beginning of a new way of receiving and understanding the fine arts as a whole. Some of the worlds’ greatest artists have given the world a new perspective and that exactly what I want to do because we can’t all see the problems but some of us need to come up with solutions. Art and its crafts have an exceptional effect on the youth and one can’t help to wonder if it’s because art is able to forge a bridge between the young and the old without miscommunication or misinterpretation of messages but a lot of occasions have ruled this theory out because majority of the youth has a very vivid expression of art of which the old see as offensive or vulgar. I do believe that art and its crafts have the power to build as well as destroy depending on the principles, emotions, experiences, visions and opinions of artist and that’s where this notion comes in.
