FMP Reflective Journal-4th of June

To Do: experiment with rust and leaf paint, final experimentations, get 5 pieces for the final piece completed. After completing more experimental work over half term and doing more research, I am now at the point where I can start work on my final outcomes. My aim for today is to experiment with the “rust […]

Developing Towards a Final Outcome

Upon reviewing my work and having discussions with multiple tutors, I realised that I haven’t completed as much developmental work as I wanted to. Most of my exploratory work so far has been artist responses and exploring different media instead of focusing my attention on sampling and testing for my final outcome. Before starting on […]

Miniatures

As my work and ideas have developed throughout the FMP, I have settled on creating many small illustrations for my final piece to represent and portray the many fine, abstract details that are hidden in decay. In order to be more informed about miniature art as a whole, I have decided to look at the […]

Vasilj Godzh

Throughout the Final Major Project, I have been really focusing on developing my experimentation with a variety of line techniques into a more polished, confident signature style. I have looked at artists and illustrators like Albrecht Durer and Travis Chatham who incorporate a lot of line techniques into their work but haven’t come across any […]

Initial Experimentation with Miniature Illustrations

After creating my detail sample pages where I tested out different media and techniques and then moving on to exploring larger scales and incorporating various grid styles, Jen, Nick and I noticed that the pieces I were creating lost the intricate and detailed look as well as the impact they had, on a larger scale than […]

FMP Reflective Journal-25th of May

To Do: Continue working on miniatures samples. Try out stitching. After visiting the Millennium Gallery and Graves Gallery in Sheffield and seeing the embroidered pieces in the Hope Is Strong exhibition, I was inspired to try incorporating stitching and embroidery into my work and experimentation. I decided to go with my signature linear style, as […]

The Graves Gallery-Sheffield

After visiting the Millennium Gallery I decided to visit the Graves Gallery to see if there would be anything relevant to my project there. I found that there wasn’t as much there that inspired me, but there was a small section about abstraction with I think will be very useful to me as my project is […]

The Millennium Gallery-Sheffield

As a way of gaining further inspiration and ideas to experiment with and look into further, I went to both the Millennium Gallery and the Graves Gallery in Sheffield. I also looked around the gift shops and the Healey Group art show just outside the Millennium Gallery in the Winter Gardens. I decided to look […]

FMP Reflective Journal-22nd of May

To Do: Continue with 3×3″ pieces trying out different details and media For the whole of today, my aim was to focus on developing and testing with the small pieces I started, with the intention of developing them to a final piece standard. I want to see if this will work effectively to portray my […]

Interrupting the Image and Experimenting with A3 Scale

So far, most of my work has been created at an A4 size or smaller, I wanted to see how my work would look when created at a larger scale closer to A3 size. I also wanted to further explore the concept of Interruptions. For this piece I explored Interruptions in a different way, this […]
