FMP ; Fingerprints

Concepts: Finger prints. My end result is to show how finger prints in the family are different or even how similar they are. So, basically finger prints is the basis of DNA. I want to look at my actual fingerprints and my families, the meaning behind it is to find out how similar and not they are and can that be related to genes etc.

Research: I will look on the internet and look at the uses of fingerprinting etc, and also i will like ask for permission from my family to use there fingerprints, also i will like to work with different materials and textures that i cud create in photoshop based on the fingerprint texture.

Experiment & Development: I will probably take fingerprints from a stamp pad to create it. I will use two colours, red & blue ; and this is to represent the sexes, and this will be displayed clearly, and developed into a way of showing peoples fingerprints and how close related the female and male prints our in a family.

Realisation: The end products, will be like 4 poster outcomes, A2 size and they will be hang up from the celine, these posters will have highly presented, fingerprint related artwork, whether it be textures, research etc. And on the final display there will be a big sheet, and a stamp pad, that can allow people to leave there own fingerprint, and become part of the piece itself.

Ideas for FMP.

Ideas for my FMP, there is so many ideas available that i would like to do. First i was thinking to base it on my family, and maybe show several images of where i inherited my looks form e.g nose shape, eye colour, hair colour etc, but then i realised that this is a very easy way to show DNA through your family. Also, i have had ideas to do a family tree based on my family, but i do not know much about them as my family is small and i wouldn't know where to start with the idea, and how far it stems back. This are really ideas that i can consider using for my FMP, but again alot of reserach will be needed. If any of these ideas were chose, then these will probably be presented in posters, in a 2d form rather then any 3D forms. 

If i was to chose the looks one i would need to really analyse my parents faces and features and try to discover where i got it from, but again i have to think would they like there faces everywhere on my work. I could also look at my brother and sister as they are both older and i believe i inherit some of my personal qualities from them e.g. humour, and thoughts on life, and these could be another form of DNA to look at.

DNA TESTING..

This is barcode data that can be collected to decide your DNA.

Its a way of representing it. Its fingerprint data.

There is many ways of finding out DNA, you can have blood tests or they can sample your blood, to find out information on your genes and basically everything about you. DNA samples are used in the law, if someone is accused of a crime and held for that crime,  thei

r DNA will be held on records, regardless of being innocent. And they will be held for 5 years, where as in Scotland they go immediatley.

Museum..

This was one of the focus of displays at the exhibition. It was about a man that underwent one of the 1st sex changes in Britain. I suppose in connection to the DNA it has the link that sometime you may be born a certain

way and think differently due to maybe the DNA genes in your body.

This is a exhibition, that was explaining about obesity. It was very well done, and what you can't see in this photo is a side exhibition which was a baby in a cradle and something else. This is also to do with whether weight and size runs through DNA and can effect how people in your family look.

This display was to do with measurements of peoples head sizes, and to see if they were same, and whether this could determine any relation between people and there DNA.
