 25/1/25 - 31/1/25 - Peaches and Plums

For this design i wanted to experiment with using some more colours. This does make the design process more complicated as i need to also make sure nothing clashes and need to think on what element should be what colour. However i think because i kept the green i used for the other ones, it made it a bit easier as i have a premade outline colour that i could use as well as the other colours. This idea started as i notice plumbs and peaches looked very similar to each other and wanted a way to help tell them apart, from this i also planned how i can do this with other pairs for future designs.


This is the first work in process photo i have for this design.


This is my second work in process for this design. However, this one also work as it own photo as it looks complete. I kept a copy of this as a finished version and planned to add more to it, adding elements that fit the square canvas, like how i did for my book last year. For a little while i didn't know how to expand this so i did a couple of colour experiments of it, these can be seen at the bottom of this blog. I also redesign the middle part of this, adding more subtle detail. I also changed the transparency of the layers, this gave a more 3d look to the work what i like a lot.


This is a work in process photos for when i stared to do the outer design. This you can see the some rounded outline (that i had for after i done the outer design as i was unsure if i want to follow the curve or the straight lines for this section, or a mix of both), as well as the start of the outer boarder. This was taking inspiration from the book last year, where i had an element in each corner and connected those, to give a more rounded look to the work. For this one i copy the center of the middle flower, from the original design, and made it smaller so it can fit into each corner. I like how this looked and it made it easer for me as i did not have to think of a new pattern for this elements.
 

This is where the design got left off before i moved onto the final one. I like how it was heading however i was getting to a point of knowing what else to add. I did not fully get to do what i wanted to, as i wanted to do a small collection of these, using different natural elements and colours for each one. This is something i might carry on creating in my free time, as i do like the idea and how it started to form.

I also saved some copies of this work with missing elements, to be used in a similar way as the border i did before. This was i could have more options on what i can do with it, however i don't think i will end up using these in the future.


This is a small test i did to see what it will look like if it was black and white. I changed around the colour levels to get to this, as i found this to be the best look out of them all however i do not like how it looks. I wanted to see if i could get a similar look as i did for my other designs by doing this, however because this one is not just an outline like those ones, it did not turn out the way i hoped.


This is a small experiment i did with changing the colour background. I like the tone/shade of green along with the other colours in the work, i find them to work well together. However i do prefer how it looks with a white background. I found that the work pops more with a white background, whereas with this coloured one, it blends in more.

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...
