Project Breif

Art & Design project

I am going to create work responding to my chosen theme – Home.

I will do this by using film and/ or photography and creating a digital collage. I will use photo editing software available to me at home and at the college. i.e. Photoshop and Iphoto.

I plan to project my images onto surfaces and / or walls. If however during the course of my research I decide that i will, for example, be creating not one collage but 10, then that is what I will do.

My targeted audience is people ages 18 – 50 that can relate to concept of home in a more abstracted form that the literal sense.

I foresee my constraints being access to computers and materials, as I will mainly be creating work at college and all computers are of course shared.

I can see another restraint being time management. I will have to make sure to manage my time correctly and follow my guide.

Week 1, 2 and 3 – I will use this time to write this brief, as well and do research on more artists and different techniques.

Week 4 and 7 – I will try out a range of techniques from the initial research by Looking into different concepts of my theme, home, by looking at poetry, literature, film, talking to people and writing notes about their own concepts of home. I will experiment with what I find visually.

Week 8 and 9 – I will research different ways work can be presented and experiment with the research I find.

Week 10 and 14 – I will create my final work.

Week 15 and 16 – I will focus on how I will present my work in a gallery setting and set it up.

I plan to evaluate my work by leaving a comments book next to the work at the exhibition. I feel this will be a more honest and realistic way to receive feedback.

I will look at a range of artists that work digitally, with collage, film and different concepts. It is a list that I will add to as I work through this unit.

Artists:

Hannah Hoch
Marcel Duchamp
Max Ernst
Ritchard Hamilton
Pablo Picasso
Robert Rauschenberg
Jean Arp
Gustav Metzger
Tony Oursler
Jean Painlevé
Angela Bulloch
James Ritchard

Alice Potter

. Digital Media . Illustration . Surface Pattern . Alice Potter   I decided to start my research with Alice Potter. I was interested in Alice Potter's work because it is very different to what i usually look at.  Potter is a London based freelance illustrator and children's wear print designer. Design is something i am not sure i have an eye for, i do appreciate it but i don't tend to find myself attracted to it, or give it as much thought as i probably should. http://alicepotter.co.uk https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlicePotter I love the colours in this one above, i like how simple it is, but it still translates as an apple. I like the dot print i think it adds a kind of sweetness to the design as well as add something to the flatness of it. I really like these, i love how happy they look because of the use of colour.  Potter draws her work out in her sketch book and then moves onto illustrator where she uses the pen ...

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...

Typography Investagation.

We have started a new unit, typeface and letterforms. I found this very daunting, because, it is a completely new, huge world to me that i have never explored... We watched a film about Helvetica and it was very interesting but like i said i feel really overwhelmed. I wanted to know what happened before more in depth and really look into it as best i could. I decided to calm my nerves by looking into the history of type face, and to, i guess start at the beginning... for myself. while researching i found out that a lot of people agree that the creator of typography was a German man named Johannes Gutenberg. But before he came along books needed to be scribed, by hand. Obviously this was very time consuming, So Guttenberg created Blackletter. I think this was modeled after the scribe's. It has thick vertical lines, and thin horizontal connectors. This was hard for printing, as it looked very dense and squished together. So then came Roman Type, the first roman type was cr...
