Final major project
My initial ideas for my final major project are creating something with my self-given concept of, ‘re-connection.’ I aim to produce a piece of work that effectively shows this concept and I intend on researching a number of artists that influence and motivate my creative ideas, such as Nancy Wood, Leif Podhajsky, Robert Beatty and other artists that specialize in an abstract style. I anticipate producing a large scale final piece of work, roughly looking at from 30x30 cm to 60x60 cm that is formatted in the artistic field of painting, drawing or print. I want to create something that shows my emotions to being, ‘re-connected.’ My concept of ‘re-connection’ has derived from the fact I have recently gained contact with people who used to mean a lot to me which triggered a very emotional response from me. I realized that the theme of ‘re-connection’ could explore many different routes as well as just the perspective of ‘reconnecting’ with past friendships and that I could look at a more natural approach, something I had been captivated by in my previous project.
From this project, I want to gain an understanding of how far I am able to push myself to produce a piece of work that I am truly proud of but also an outstanding show of thought process that will lead to my final piece. I also want to gain more knowledge in the Medias in which I am exploring, such as painting, drawing and printing and want to show ample experimentation and a variety of creative influences including artists, secondary and primary sources.
The research I will produce to assist my ideas will revolve around mainly primary research whilst developing my slowly growing concept. I will explore the many pathways of, ‘re-connection,’ and experiment with how I can develop and nurture these ideas to create a solid final piece. I will also be experimenting with secondary research in terms of artist studies to gain inspiration for my concept and ideas. I will be looking at various artists that’s work particularly interest me, such as ones that use strong visual elements that reflect line and colour. Something else I would be interested in experimenting with is pattern and how it can be manipulated into forming a solid shape or image such as with the fluid painting technique. I will demonstrate independent, non-tutor led project work development by reflecting primary and secondary research in sketchbooks, worksheets and in the form of a blog and will find less conventional ways of exploring how I can demonstrate also.
I intend to document my on-going project development by blogging my creative thought process on either an Instagram, Tumblr or Blogger account. I will record my ongoing decision making and changes in project direction in my sketchbook by showing clear development and thought process within my work and will use worksheets. I will identify and record strengths and weaknesses within my project work by showing clear annotations and evaluations that are both critical and analytical in how they reflect my work. I will also keep an additional log book in which I will record my strengths and weaknesses in hopes to improve in each experiment I create. I intend to develop my ongoing reflective practice into a concluded evaluation by taking a number of progression shots of my work to show my creative journey within the project and create a summary of mistakes and successes.
The elements within my work I will document in my evaluation are the elements that show success in reflecting my concept, the elements that were less successful in showing my concept, the artists that I gained inspiration from, the creative journey I took to create my final piece and other outside influences that I used within my development. I intend to measure my project in terms of its success and how it relates to my proposed aims by judging whether my development successfully builds up to a final piece that effectively relates to my concept in an intriguing and creative way. I will also gage it by using peer feedback in a survey to judge how successful my project was.
