21th onwardsd!@

for the last week i have been feeling much better and coming into the studio to do work, i have orderd 2 of my fire images to be printed A0 becuase i wanted to be able to paint on a large scale for my photography painting serise which i'll save for part 3 but am very excited and have been researching for ages. 

These are the images i have chosen to print out A0. i need to go home to pick them up which i did later on the week.

so before i left for home i printed out a few images of these two then experimented diffferant ideas which i stupidly left at home.. but i have a few to show.

Sick... ehh 14th - 21st

this week i have been ill with a chest infection so this has been a hard week expessily as there has been sun out side and the antibiotics i'm on means that i can not go into the sun..  so this week i have mostly had tea and food and got uptodate with my journal.

near the end of the week i was doing more reasearch and looking into new ideas of developing my idea of painting on my photographys i worked out that, 

painting on the image then using water and rubbing away at the paint which fades the image behind as well gives a really good effect also if i just scrap away paint with a knife it gives good lines of paint behind.  also droping ink from a greeaaaaat hight gives epic splashes.

Proposal! 14th feb.

 

Review of parts 1 & 2.

Reflect on, review and summarise your progress and achievements throught the first 6 units of the programme, expressed in terms of knowledge, skill and understanding you have acquired.

Well in my mind I started off the year, very nieve unprepared for a realistic artist life and general inderpendence. But after 6months of the course I think I have realized where I stand and how I work well and I know now what motivates me to work and what doesn’t. 100% inderpendent work is what movitaves me because when I’m told a project theres a finishing spot in my mind but if its all me my project can never stop if I want for as long as I remember I have a continueing theme that fasinates me.

I’ve learnt a lot of new skills including printing and book making which I’m determined I’ll use again in life if not this year in the future. I control a penciel much better and I consider lines and how there weight really effects an image.  My compersional skills have improved greatly as well. I have also expanded my artist knowledge, and photographic tecqueic has expanded.

With photography I’ve learnt a lot about lighting and set ups and have furthered my compersional eye in photography which I belive is one of the essences of being a great photographer.

Now come up with 2 ideas for potential projects – you should give one title and write an outline description in 100 words or less

Idea 1. Expanding Raw Elements into layers.  With this idea I want to further an old idea. Were I photography raw elements like water, earth fire then layer the images on top of each other to give a layerd effect but it always looks a bit weird because there never ment to be on one enother. Then paint and do many experiments with them because what I did before was just the photography side but this time I want to be about to do the fine art side and even the fashion side.

Idea 2. Fine art figertive  photography. I’d like to be able explore a new style of figertive photography and get out of the new hd faces side of it and really bring the art back to figetive photography by even painting or printing into photographys.

WORK WORK WORK 7th - 12th feb

This week i have been doing alot of journal and catching up! i have also been deciding on what i'm going to be doing for part 3. i have had to do my proposal which has been much easeir than i thought. the main areas i want to be doing are; 

Painting, photography, nature, new experiments. so its finding a way of wording my proposal to make it as loose as possible so i can do what i want when i wont going in a forward direction!

(after this post i'll post my proposal)
