NEW PROJECT: WAWWA

For this new project, we are to create artwork that focuses around our environment in anyway that we feel. We are also allowed to use whatever materials we wish.

Today, I did quick sketches of random thoughts or ideas I had when thinking about what I should focus on as a project. I started to think about covid-19, and started doodling loose drawing of DNA patterns, or what I thought looked like DNA, or cell related. At first I just used a black sharpie, but then I went on to create another pice similar but with paint. The colours being used are what I relate to cell colours, and they re not accurate. I really like the shaping created and hw they slightly over lap and I would be interested in looking into this futher.

I wanted ex[eriment with different ideas for this project, so I also sketch/painted nature related scene, with colours that I personally associated with happiness. The idea was that most of quarantine, I personally have found it difficult to stay in the present, and instead, most of my time fantasying about the future, and plans and just being completely separated from the current world pandemic. If I did develop this idea further, I would look more in mental health with connection to spending most of this year indoors, and the stress of not knowing when it will end.

This was a very quick sketch, using black acrylic paint. I made quick, rough shapes that could be recreated by the human body and adding sharp brushstrokes. I wanted to try and recreate the stress and anger myself and friends I’ve talked to about being inside for most of the year. When painting this I was thinking about the human body and how that could potray the feelings that I’ve been going through during covid.

Once I did these, and re-looked at my work. I think I want to continue the theme of seeing how can use the human body and the movement of the body to portray certain emotions. However, I also like the effect of the sketches I did relating to cells.

My next steps I want to start with contextual research on DNA, the virus cells, and the human body movement, and experimenting with how I can portray my current environment through that, as most people have spent quarantine on their own, and only have their self.

I also would like to start experimenting with photography and photoshop and looking into more sculpture.

With the continuation of producing a mix of 3D and 2D pieces. I really enjoyed making and experimenting with these pieces and are really happy with the results.

I mainly worked with ink, masking tape, brush pen and pencils. With my environment being my bedroom, and my bedroom consisting of squares and circlers, I decided that to be my main objected, when facing on what to create.

I experimented by overlapping certain shapes, cutting out certain shapes using a crafting knife or scissors. When experimenting I particually liked the contrast of curves and lines and block colours.

ENVIROMENTAL DRAWING

For this project, we had to draw art pieces based of our environment. The environment that I chose was my room. I wanted to try and recreate the feeling of being in a room, so I got the imprint of the texture if my walls and cut four individual squares and then collaged them onto a large piece, which also has the texture of the walls. I chose four as most rooms have four walls. I enjoyed creating this piece and I feel the outcome was successful.

For my next piece, I noticed that most of my furniture was either square or circular. I decided to do a abstract sort of piece. I originally wasn’t going to colour the shapes, but I felt it looked boring. I’m glad I did colour certain shapes as it does give off a nice effect.

The last artwork is a recreation or I have attempted to portray by bed covers. During the past months I have stayed the majority in bed, so I sketched out the shapes of my ned covers, and then shaded to add depth, but I felt it was too boring. So, I folded the paper in various ways, which I feel helped the piece in bing more effective.

SEE YOU, SEE ME

For this project, we had to photograph our own home installations that represent our current environment that surrounds us. We then upload our installations and create observational drawings from other colleagues’ installations.

I really enjoyed this task, and got use to sketching and warming up the creative mind. For my observational pieces, I decided to combine different installations into one piece. I feel it gave certain pieces a surrealistic style. We had to only use monochromatic materials, so I only use mainly pencil and black ink pen. I experimented by using my left hand on certain pieces, not looking at the page and continues line. I also decided to combine two techniques into one pice, so I might use my left hand drawing one object and drawing in more detail with the other object.

Im really happy with outcome of my pieces, and looking forward to getting into the habit on sketching and experimenting again!
