Idea progression

I had Ideas still set on the three drawings which pictured thre different ink pen images of british service men with prosthetic limbs.

But on descussion with my tutor, the  idea was not stopped, but instead  looked at from a different angle. My tutor explained to me that by doing these art peices I wouldn't be stepping out of my comfort zone, after painting and drawing in the level 4 he suggested I move a step closer to honour and show respect for the troops that have lost limbs and we came up with an idea. 

Instead of drawing a soldier with no limb, how about I try to experience loosing a limb for a morning or try for the day (laugh with uncertainty). 

So rather than creating a visual art piece it would be a performance. To experience trying to do everyday normal tasks that would otherwise be no trouble at all for someone who had all there limbs.

For this I would somehow make a fixing that would restrict my hand/arm movement to zero. I wasn't however going to replicate a real prostheses as time and of course money wasn't on my side. So now I was on the hunt for anything that would make a good fixture to my own arm and restrict my use of it.
