2ish weeks of work (edit - work i did between the talk with my partner and a talk with Julian)

These are the sketches I have done over the past two weeks (not a lot due to personal reasons and having other things i needed to focus on). During this time I i started to look at some photos for inspiration/to use in my work as well as some ideas on what to do with them.
These are some sketches/photos of an abandoned prison found in the middle of a field, outside of Barton, Arkansas. These photos was taken from Flickers by the photographer phiZzL3. My goal was to look at how prisons look and find a way to add my twist to them. I chose to work on top of these photos (tracing paper/other transparent paper on top of them) too add the life images. I could work on top of the existing photos or work on top of my own paintings/illustrations of these photos or my own photos.
This is some small experiments i did, working on top of tracing paper that is over the original photos, I used a mix of coloured pencil and some paint pens. I am more drawn to the one of the sink and the bars, then the one of the room. This could be cause i have more confident making something with the other two then i do with making something with a full room. I like the nature element of the bar one and well as the water in the sink, as well as the pattern look they both have, the plants creating a pattern on the bars and the water having a pattern within it. I am lean more towards the sink idea one as i like experimenting with making pattern to show water (i have experiment with this in older projects), and i can add other elements to the sink such as clothing or food being washed. I also feel like either though both the plants and water bring life, that the water bring more life to the building. I feel like this along with adding food or clothing will make it seem more like someone is living here then the plant do, as the plants could be growing with or without someone there while the food and clothing in sink (with running water) is very unlikely to happen without someone. - It is also more fun to make 

These are close up photos of each experiment.
I like the idea of using more bright colours on my twist as a way to be more playful and have a bigger contrast between the two images. I can also do this by the original having no colours or extremely dull colours and the twist having colour.

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...
