Proposal
Exploring a range of different
methods, including negative spaces, insulation and assemblage; then
investigated grids, layers and reflections, I found that gradually working
through projects I began improving on skills and learning new ones to bring new
techniques in to my work, this allowed me to identify my strengths and
weaknesses within my artwork.
I work well at intricate hands-on and practical work in a range of media, particularly different materials. I also have a wide range of skills, not just specialising in one area, I am very interested and work hard.
I don’t have a clear picture of my
future career but I know that I am interested in and enjoy working with both
textiles and photography so am hoping to pursue a career within these areas.
To explore the use of materials and
photography to express memory.
I intend to use
myself as a starting point and a subject in my project by exploring and
documenting my memories, such as my tenth birthday and the excitement of being
double figures, by using materials and photographs to express the mood from a
memory.
I decided, from
the grids, layers and reflections project I started, that I would use myself as
I subject and concentrate on the theme of Me, Myself and I. As I worked more with this theme, I found it
was far too extensive an area, so I narrowed it down to two ideas within the
theme, namely memories and reflections.
I had a discussion with my pathway tutor about my methods and decisions
and came to the conclusion of focussing on memories.
I intend to
explore my theme futher using photographs of memories I remember from when I
was younger. Then, by using textile techniques, turn my memories and
photographs into a visual story.
I had a look in
the library for artists’ work which I liked and then found out more work by the
specific artists on the computer. To
develop the work I may take ideas from their work and adapt the idea to the
theme in my own work.
I will collect
photographs from past events and explore what media I find most suitable to
present them in.
In the future I
would want my work to attract people’s attention and make an impression so that
they want to find out more about my work.
I have many
influences around me from the internet, magazines, old photographs and artwork;
I have recently visited the Liverpool Tate Gallery; and am highly inspired by the natural world around me.
I am inspired
by many artist’s work such as Henry Moore's textile pieces from the 1960’s such
as the quirky old fashioned wallpapers; and Henry Matisse’s moderist wildlife
and nature paintings.
Textiles artists who have inspired and
given me ideas are: Shirley Craven
(Hull Traders), Celia Birtwell, Zandra Rhodes, David Hockney’s expressive
joiners, Franz Marc and Henry Moore.
The photography artists I have looked
at are: Eadweard Muybridge, William Morris, Humprey Jennnings’ Horses Head
1937-1940 and James Carnegie.
I have gained ideas and may adapt and
develop them in my own work. For example, the flip books of a series of action
images, flicked to create the illusion of continuous motion, inspired by
Eadweard Muybridge.
I will be using the media of
fabrics, photographs, inks and paints.
Also I would like to explore new medias and ideas to see what the
outcome would look like.
I
will be using the methods of information gathering, recording of ideas and
reasons for doing a piece of work, in my sketchbook, journal and blog.
My criteria of
success is to have produced a unique and thought provoking piece of work that I
am proud of and a number of people like.
To determine this I will ask a wide ranged audience, covering age,
gender, profession, experience and opinion, for feedback on completion.
If anything
goes wrong in the process I will record and take note of it, reflect on it to
see how to improve it. If the problem is
irrepairable, I will learn where and why it went wrong, learn from the mistake,
then annotate and record it in my journal and try again.
I will be thinking all the time about what I am doing and working to the
best of my ability.
Evaluation
The theme
for my Final Project was ‘Me, Myself and I’, I have covered all briefs and
achieved all goals.
I found the
project to be very time consuming, due to which I didn’t achieve some mediums
on my rosettes which I would have liked.
However, the
final outcome is very visually appealing, the colours blend well together and
the materials show good contrast.
Despite some
frustrating setbacks, it was a very enjoyable process to take part in, the
materials were easy to print and paint on and I was able to develop some new
skills.
I am
disappointed that my piece didn’t attract as many viewers as I had wanted,
perhaps for not knowing the meaning behind it but, for me, the piece is very
successful and I am pleased and proud of what I have achieved.

On monday I finished stapling my work to the boards as parts had come away which I hadn't stapled. Then when I had completed my work I began helping with other peoples who needed it so everyones wotk was ready for the show on wednesday night.
Thursday 14th June 2012
I placed my rosset on the board to see what it looked like in proportion with it.
I decided how I am going to display my work, ready to staple to the board. I stapled it to extra material behind my frills on my rosette so they were s
disguised. Which turned out really well as it hangs really well.
