Unit 2- Designing a postcard for positive change

-

 I was given a brief to create a postcard that summarises my aim for creating positive change. I was tasked with coming up with an idea in an hour, which I enjoyed as I feel I work best when restrictions are put in place.

I found that being forced to portray my projects message through just a singular small design allowed me to really understand the root of my message. And that is that: the world is cool, and we should be taking inspiration from those living on it in order to save it.

Below are the notes I made when brainstorming ideas.

 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

-

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.)
