Week One

It is week 35 at college and we are now about to do our Final Major Project. I am really excited as this means i can pick the subject matter and theme.
Ben went through the units and explained how to write the brief we were given a sample. I have written one before last year. I will work on this with Karen on Friday. Went to the library to look for books related to war artist and found loads. Otta Dix,Gros and many more.

Statement of Intent:  Once a tragedy twice a farce

Section 1

I will work towards producing paintings, collage and printing to explore and express in a vivid and imaginative and hopefully original way. I will look at expressing the underlying theme which is the systemic deepening economic crisis and the ensuing conflict.   This will extend my deepening understanding of the subject matter and the artist reasoning for their work. This theme will allow me to focus my creativity and find a medium to explore and express the underlying context of my work.

Section 2

I am going to look at artists such as: Goya, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Manet, Joan Miro and Picasso. They recorded and expressed in their own medium and style the events which were unfolding and on-going in certain periods of historical significance. Now we can look back and see the significant of those events, but at the time we did not see the significance. I will examine the underlying tensions brought about by the economic crisis looking at events that are taking place now and there likely outcomes.  Not looking at the surface of events but I will look beyond this focusing on what is going on underneath. I also wish you link these events with past historical outcomes.

I will visit the Liverpool library, Liverpool Museum, Walker art Gallery, Manchester city art Gallery. These visits will allow me to accumulate and deepen my perspective. I will follow news casts, parliamentary debates, and financial magazines, websites and video clips.

  Section 3

I will begin to explore a range of media pencil, pen and ink, charcoal leading up to painting, printing and collage. I will use a finer media such as pen ink to create detail and clarity which I will take forward into a print form.  I will revisit lino printing, etching, cholograph and other printing methods.   I will experiment with different paints looking at colour from an emotive and emotional perspective as well as mark marking. Collage will play a part of my images using found images as well my own printed images. I will consider computer manipulation using a scanner and photography.

Section 4

I will critically review my work within my sketchbook and I will also keep a reflective blog where I can keep a diary of events and comments of my direction and development. I will take part in a peer’s assessment which will give me the opportunity to share my work and receive feedback to which I can respond. I will then complete an in-depth evaluation to consider the strengths and weakness of my project.  

Week one

Here we are i am so excited the FMP at last. I will be able to do my whole project on my passion which is the economic crisis. The theme will look at past similar problems and i will look at artist that recorded and felt strongly about these problems.I have got to write an Statement of intent this will allow me to put all my ideas downs and give me a form of direction.
I have looked at these issues before and i have a great passion in these areas.

I will look at Otto who had great foresight.
