Sketchbook doodles
27th February 2024

This morning I did some small sketchbook sketches of some of the mushrooms I picked out from my book. I chose to do this as a starting point on reducing the number of wildlife elements i chose to turn into stamps. By doing some quick sketches of them, i can visual which ones i want to use more easily, based on how they would look if i drew them over a photo. This also helped me reduce the ones i struggle drawing and the ones i don't enjoy drawing, making sure that i stick with strong visuals as well as still enjoying the process of making them.

Putting up show day 1 3rd June 2024 Today was my first official day of putting up the show, I wanted to focus on cleaning out my area, adding the mesh and fabric to the frame and putting the frame up. What I was able to complete  I realise that I put the mesh on the wrong way, but j was able to fix the issue buy flipping the frame before I put tje fabric on. My original plan of having the hook things for the books will not work, due the the fabric being in the way. I chose to do tie fabric tight and didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to put the wire between the fabric and the frame. I plan to put the hook things on the under part of the frame or on the inside edge I don't like the sag that is happening to the mesh, I plan to sew it to the fabric once the beads have been hung, so that it will have a more clean and finish look to it Before I headed home, I did some lose draping of the fabric so that I have a bett...

 Project proposal  My plan for this project, is to explore a made-up counterculture around the idea of taking back control/identity from those who are in authority. This counterculture can be seen in both a negative and positive late, as the people reclaiming their power have been labelled as criminals. On one hand, this could be viewed as in a negative way as the people/criminals deserve the punishment they received, making it seen as unjustified for them to take back their freedom. But it can also be seen as everyday people reclaiming what was unjustly taken from them—those who were wrongfully accused, committed crimes out of necessity to survive, or became victims of their circumstances, not intending harm or feeling remorse for what they did, or simply making a mistake. I will be taking inspiration from Japanese criminal tattoos from the Edo period, which were used to mark someone as a criminal. I'll also be looking at traditional Japanese tattooing, as this form of tattoo...

Looking at two early works of Modernism (600-700 word) - 856 words total In this essay, I will examine two early Modernist movements, Fauvism and Cubism. Although both of these movements involve abstraction, they each emphasize different elements within their paintings. Fauvism focuses on colour while Cubism has a focus on form. Modernism is a global movement within the art community that emerged around the 20th century. Modernism is defined by artists who broke away from patron demands, forming the Avant-Garde. Modernism artists creates art based on their own vision, challenging social expectations and exploring new ideas and techniques that was once unachievable. The Industrial Revolution played crucial a role in this shift, as cheaper materials, like synthetic dyes, made it easier for artists to produce their work independently of patron support. Though this, artists began to push the boundaries on what is 'good' and 'bad' art, as well as rejecting old traditions. Fa...
