WAWWA: DEVELOPMENT PRT. 10

Carrying on from my artwork created in the previous post, I decided to continue with photoshop. I wanted to experiment more with the graphs as a background. I also wanted to experiment with stop-like movement, so added photoshops of me, wearing pyjamas or comfort clothes that I wear around the house. I decided to wear this outfit as its what a wore throughout quarantine.

I looked into graphs and statistics on the deaths, cases and progression of the virus. I have been focusing on the actual cell itself and the visualisation, so now I want see more into the science, statistics and progression.

I added the swirl as its in a circular motion, representing the cell, in red because of since of danger that red is associated with.

I feel this piece is a bit messy and plain, boring. However I do feel it a successful in the developing episode, as if I was to add more aspects, it could become a good art piece.

WAWWA:DEVELOPMENT PRT.9

From the feedback given to me at Group Crits, I decided to look more into information graphs the† have been used to show the covid-19 progression with infected, deaths and cases. I also wanted to look into the connection of the virus and royalty. As coronavirus connects with the word “crown” in latin.

I started off with painting a piece with a background and similar virus imagery like my previous painting. However I used the colours red and warm colours, as the news uses red for the virus.

When thinking about the restrictions, we listen to them and follow them and in a way we obey them, which is all surrounding the virus. Whatever the virus does we relate and in a way the virus controls us, like royalty would.

I then went on to do a photoshoot of me in a worshipping position and photoshopped the painting, so the painting is outline with me. I also looked at graphs showing the deaths in five days since getting the virus and the number in each countries.

I don’t really like the piece created, however I do feel I’m going down a good path in my project and looking forward to carrying it on.

WAWWA: DEVELOPMENT PRT.8

I decided to look back at the painting I did previously and experiment with it using photoshop. I wanted to make the ‘cells’ actually look like cells, especially the corona virus cell. I cut the cell painting and then layered the Lino print of cell I also did on top. I fell this really looked like the actually cell. I then went to change the colouring with more bright and neon colours. I really like the outcome and find the pieces really effective.

I also did I piece of me, with the Lino prints of the lung layering on top on me with the colouring changed. I too like this piece and feel I would like to go down this type of path with my more resolved pieces in the future.

WAWWA: DEVELOPMENT PRT.7

Today, I carried on making prints with the Lino cut I did previously. I experimented with them by layering over one another with different colours. I then went one to photoshop them and overlaying them once again and enhancing the saturation on them to give them a x-ray type look to them. I did this because I feel it looks like those science like animations you see on the television when they’re talking about cells and anatomy.

I really enjoy making these and found the outcome to be successful. I also decided to crop certain parts of the artwork to focus on the patterns and colour contrasts. However, due to file sizing and the original size of the images, the outcome photos are particularly small. In the future I plan to check my photo sizing and learn how I can fix it for next upcoming pieces.

WAWWA:DEVELOPMENT PRT.6

I started to paint a piece where there’s a detailed cell in the centre, however it wasn’t going well, it just wasn’t turning out the way a expected, and I was struggling with the colours. So, I decided to put them into photoshop and change the colours into that.

I then went on to use photoshop as a way to collage my previous work together. For the first collage piece, I wanted to show a representation of how the virus can seem to be everywhere, and I put the Lino print of the ‘air sac’ over the body as I way to make it clearer. I really like the contrast in this piece and the dreamy feel it has.

I then used the painting I did, and photoshopped it into the background of a photo I took of myself. This was to show that the virus felt it was always looming about us, even when you’re in you own bed, its hard now a days to not be thinking about it, even when you close your eyes.

The last photoshop I didn’t like as much. This piece was more a experimentation, where I just wanted to if the composition would be effective, I feel it is effective to an extent, but next time I would either more colour or change the position.

WAWWA: DEVELOPMENT PRT.4

I took photographs of my myself in a curls up positions with my back facing the camera. I wanted to portray a tired, scared and fragile vibe. I then went on to change it to black and white and photoshop my prints that I did earlier into it.

This was completely experimental as I have never really done photoshop, but I really enjoyed using. I tried different colours and really pixel the last picture as it reminded me of little cells, which I felt fitted perfectly with the current theme I am focusing on.

I have more picture I would like to photoshop and experiment more with. In the future I want to add more to artwork as I feel this art piece is a little plain.

WAWWA: DEVELOPMENT PRT.1

I’ve been mainly focusing on doing contextual research and then responding to the new information through developing and experimenting.

With research about the virus’s cells and the how the human body fights the virus with antibodies and protein cells, I decided to draw a visualisation of the cells ‘fighting’. I used the colours that the majority of science articles use when describing which cell us which. The red is the virus and the blue is the antibodies. I was struggling when making due to not feeling any ideas are motivation.

I then started trying photoshop, and really enjoyed using it! I don’t have much experience using photoshop, so I experimented with my theme and just getting use to photoshop. I do like what I created, and feel this could be a path of potential development.

The last response I have done was just an idea I got when researching, with the thought of the cells moving in the body. I wanted to try and visualise that movement.

I want to know focus on the actual human body, especially the chest and throat area as that is where the virus first affects.

DIGITAL WEEK – IMAGE

For the image section of the week project I continued with the theme of waves and also adding 70s features. Most of the images used where was from pexels, however I did use some of my own work too. I also decided to add wave equation into the background as it’s white, it makes the colourful foreground more effective. I do like the final outcome, however I do wish I focused more time on it, as I feel the image isn’t as finished as it could of been. I did prefer working with premier, but I’m happy to now have a basic understanding of photoshop.
