Digital Art Evaluation

As I said in the post before, I was worried about this unit because I felt I had not done anything for it. One, because it was all digital so I had nothing physical and two because it was all blended into other units. Once I actually looked at how much digital work I had produced I was pretty happy with my work...

I explored digital art for my units Art project, Contemporary art, Illustration and Surface Decoration. For Art Project I looked at a few different artists that worked with projecting and moving image.
( Sonia Falcone, Tony Oursler, Jean Painlevé, Joan Jonas) For Contemporary art I looked at Sarah Lucas, Matt Herring, Julian Opie, Orla Kiely, David Carson. For Illustration and surface decoration I looked at Alice Potter, Orla Kiely, Victo Ngai.

I explored different ways to work digitally with moving image, photography, photo montage/ collage, Pattern / Illustration and Typography.

I started thinking about the theme Environment and ended up tying this unit into my surface pattern unit. I ended up producing collage work that i wanted to be in an urban setting. So it was a rural urban environment.

Overall I enjoyed this unit for a few different reasons. Firstly because I feel my skills in photography, digital collage and moving image have improved hugely. Secondly because I would say I enjoy working digitally the most and thirdly because I got to look a range of very different artists all who all work digitally and they have inspired me to push myself in what I love to do.

I realized that from this unit, and ones before it, I have been using Photoshop non stop. I spend almost everyday making collages, editing photographs, drawings and illustrations ( yes I am booking an eye test). But I realized I am doing this because I enjoy it so much, and because of that I am improving.

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat...

Dada Collage part 2

I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's Das Schone Madchen/ beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today. trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but c hanged it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an ...

View point Task 1.

Conduct market research into the range of publications available for the target age group . Free and for sale. Contemporary and historical sources - visual and non - visual. I wanted to start my research with a range of publications. At this point i am unsure where i am going / what i want to do so i thought i would just start with exploring a wide range of publications as the brief says to try and find my interest. I started with a well known magazine that 18 - 30 year olds would look at, i thought about interests and started with fashion. Vogue I liked this cover above because it is very minimal, and i think that is more stylish and clean looking. I like the black and white look and the muted tones in it, like the title 'Vogue' i think works really well with the black and white. The magazine usually has more type in it.... I thought this was a good example of what an issue of vogue usually looks like, it is still quite minimal and loo...
