Unit 1- 'What Are You Like?' Refined pieces

-

 These are a selection of my favourite outcomes from this brief. I aimed to experiment with a range of visual possibilities regarding my ideas. I used digital, magazines and texture to enable this experimentation.


This was my digital interpretation. I created the poster using typography letters I found around my house. The window is the view into my garden and the shoes and jeans are my own- I feel this makes it a very personal piece.

I decided to use repeat the rose background I used in my previous post. This was inspired by Lauren Childs' technique of creating a repeat pattern on a small scale and projecting it into her illustrations. I admire the way this looks and decided to replicate it and I feel it makes it look more cohesive and realistic, which ultimately provides unity. This was a principle I was aiming for.


The background for this was created using an online repeat pattern generate (https://repper.app).


I then decided to experiment with making it into a physical pieces and illustrating with my own hands. This first piece uses a range of textures found around my house. The window view is constructed with dried flowers from my garden and the wallpaper is a silver metallic card. The poster is a cut out from a newspaper. I used a sharpie to illustrate.


I cut out wallpaper samples in the back of an Elle Decoration magazine to fashion the wallpaper. I cut out sections of clouds I could find in the magazine to create a window view.

 I was inspired by the work of Kitty Sabatier and her technique of abstraction within mark-making. I decided to reproduce some of my favourite works of hers and learn from her creative process so as to take inspiration for my future projects. (My work is on the left and the inspiration for it is on the right)

Unit 1- Working with Clay to Explore Shape and Space

-
Image
With my quick workshop in clay, I wanted to explore the elements of shape and space. I chose to do some sketching following on from the shapes I created in my previous workshop and the artist research I had done.  I took inspiration from the 'squiggle' shape that keeps coming up in the research. I looked at the folds within Bernin's sculptures and wanted to experiment with making that on a more refined scale. My first attempt was unstructured and broke as the cat was in a plastic state. To solve this, I used a leather hard coat and cut out full circles of a larger width and layered these with slip. To develop this concept further, I would like to experiment with scale and how this can impact the appearance of shape and space.

Final outcome- FMP

-

 Details of final outcome: Outcome in-situ: Outcome in gallery setting: I feel fulfilled by the outcome I produced. It reflects the effort I put in over my FMP into research, learning new skills and also personal development. It is an artists' book called 'An Ode to the Moon' and is a testament to the enormous range of perspectives we have on the moon. For me, this project has been an enlightening journey on how the world can have so many different viewpoints on the same thing. It has been a personal journey for me and I feel this book is evidence of this. I can't wait to show this book to friends and family. I already have some orders in from people that would like one for themselves- which is ultimately the goal of my project (to share alternative perspectives through allowing ownership and personal connection to my work.)
