this video was the first attempt and it didn’t really go well as my photos did not line but, but i do feel like i wasn’t trying hard enough so some photos are not even acceptable. but i am alot happier with the second film
this is my photo film where I took loads of different photos of the sun setting. this film was a little bit hard to make as I wanted to get the right angle but i feel it worked out quite well.
this was my second attempt of the videos as i knew i could do better than my fist film, so i chose to make another with a new set of photos.
this is a very important piece to me, in the middle fo the night i needed to let go of some emotions and i started to do this. it is made up of loads of different materials i had.
prints – i made
hand prints – acrylic paint
packaging materials
printed bubble wrap
black pastels
white pen
and more
this is a development on the tasks we where giving to get our emotions onto paper. all the different piece are used for different reason and this will be explained in the SDR as they are privet.
i feel this might be the main piece in this body of works and i might see if i can develop it in this project but i will defiantly develop it in my private study.
i wanted to show a person cluttered brain in a physical cluttered way. so i started by finding random material i could stick on the paper this also included bumpy materials and bubble wrap to print with. then I added in hand prints to show trying to escape and the prints I made in term 1.
then i used a photo of myself to draw the girl, I drew the girl with pastels I didn’t want the girl to have any emotions to keep with the idea there is more to a person in there head than you can see. so far this is my favourite piece.
The drawing is the first design of the rabbit and then i created it onto the lino cut, this was a little hard to do but was not too bad. i really enjoyed making it though as i had to think a lot about how it would look. i feel as though i did really well on this piece and showed the idea of zones of time more effectily than the main. I then decided to put it onto the lion to show the different zones but also how animals can guide each other through life and death.
i then started to collage the rabbit to see if i could use the line to create an effect but also start experimenting with backgrounds, to see if I could add more to the piece i do like the background but i also think I could develop it more.
This is the lion skull with a main I designed. from the other I used the main to show the life within the lion. I really do like this one but I feel I could used the idea of different zones of time within a different and more artist way. I really did like doing this because it did make me learn how to add in more detail and I feel I am getting more comfortable with being more relaxed when adding in details (e.g. in the skull) so next I want to try and use time zone for effectively
form his whole project I feel the tasks where the hardest part for me. this is because when they where set i had something going on in my life and i really couldn’t do them.
from one of the task it really helped me understand more on how to express feelings through art. this then led me to do a piece of art in the middle of the night.
though this piece I had to think about what marks and objects to draw to convey how i feel. i found this challenging but i did develop this is to a more directed piece and it will be in my next post.
another task we did was to go outside and make something out of nature, i feel i could have developed this idea a lot more than i did. i feel i could use this idea more within my work too see where i could take it. (i have lost the photos for these)
Derrick is an Lino cut artist, who i found on Instagram. he is work is really detailed and so I looked through his work to try and understand how I might be able to present hair in a detailed way but not so much that it look confusing.
i looked at these images a i noticed there have detailed but he has kept it really simple giving it a really nice effect. but he also focuses a lot on how the hair flows and i feel this give its the most texture and realism.
this artist will really help with how i can do the main on my lion and skull piece.
This is what i have drawn on to the glass I was showing how even if someone says they are ok behind that lie can be so many feeling and thought taking up their mind. i used thick black pen so when putting a light on it to make a shadow it should come out more clear.
this was the results of the shadows I am really happy with it but I would have to think of a way to get a stronger light to make the piece even clearer and better. I really do like this idea and i want to try it more and think of better way to present it.
This is a drawing i did to show how you can look at someone and see them calm when there could be loads of emotions going around there head.
This was me marking out the masking tape from the drawing I made, then I started to use a marker to draw within the tape. this was easier than I thought to do and I was just going to leave it on the glass but then I saw the shadow it made so I decided to look into making shadows as well.
these are the shadows that they made (you can just see them) I really liked this idea and decided to do more to look into it.
This is a fennec fox skull. This lino print is black oil based ink and on paper. The idea behind this is that it shows life and death and how death can also bring life to other things, this then shows time and how over a big part of time we all play our part but also life and death within it. death is a horrible thing but sometimes you need death of one thing for another to live, like how animals kill so they can eat.
I really like this piece and feel I’m getting a lot more confident within shading and how to use the lino print to create the look of depth. for these I use a scalpel as I find I have a lot more control.
As I am looking into shadows i saw her work when on a virtual gallery (Trinity buoy whart). I decided to look into these works as they are similar to mine. the collection is called ‘light and darkness’ and mainly shows white and black giving the effect of shadows.
the photo are on the link im not going to put them on here due to copy right, but they are called beyond confinement (and the number of the piece) there was 6 of these. and then there is more, what was in the gallery was the beyond confinement 1,2 and 3.
her work is simple yet seems like there it a lot to get from it. I really like how it is so close up it makes you guess what it is. I feel these are either drawn or painted unlike mine that are actual shadows. but this have given me an idea if i can draw with actual objects to draw a shadow on a wall.
