| This one is definitely the biggest prep piece so far! |
So up until then, I`m afraid that you won`t be seeing much that`s different on here, mainly all the same colour palettes, Canvas based pieces of work and a looooot of mixed media and abstract work that I haven`t done in quite some time.
For this project, I`m also trying a new approach to the kind of work I produce, my final piece last time has thin layers of different paints and papers so it wouldn`t appear a very bulky... But this time, I want everything to be bulky and quite over the top really!
But when you think about, I can`t go too over the top for the time being, I`ve been working on some small preparation pieces for my final exam piece and have about 6 preparation bits too finish off, but at the moment I`ve only done three... yeah, I really need to do some sort of catching up with the preparation work, even though I seem to be the only one who`s started it at the moment.
Also, when you think about the kind of theme I`m going for (the decay of nature) it would be rather awkward if I was to go right over the top and mess a lot of it up, plus I could possibly go way off of the subject at hand.
At the moment, only three of the preps are almost done, and the thought of leaving sixth form and heading off to University is starting to scare me just a little bit now. Once this exam is completely finished, we`ll have another week or so to get all of our other bits of work finished off and then we leave for good! I know it`s earlier than we`re supposed to leave awell, but it`s because there will be nothing left for us to do; in year 12, we started the third project, carried that on over the summer holidays and then finished that off after a loooong time, then moved on to this one... So yeah, nothing for any of u to do after this has been done, so it`ll be bye-bye sixth form! (for good yayyy).
I have been a bit worried about how I`m going to be uploading illustration pieces over the holidays if that`s the case, since I`m at sixth form, all of the printers/photocopiers are all hooked up to the "papercut" system in school which also has a scanner programme which allows you to scan in a drawing, and then the scanner e-mails it over to your account. Easy as that!So I think, when it comes to the summer holidays, I`ll need to buy just a small A4 scanner to use so I`m still uploading bits of my work.
Enough of that anyways, and back to the prep work. (I do realize that the pictures so far are also quite blurry, these are the only pictures I have at the moment, so I do apologize for my lack of preparation in the update).For my prep piece, I`m mainly using canvas` and I`m trying a lot of different things that I haven't tried before on them. The layers I`m creating at the moment are drying a lot thicker than I originally thought, and after looking at artist research and by becoming inspired by different people... It`s given me a slight idea.
It`s not absolutely life changing so there`s nothing to be madly excited about right now.
After looking at a lot of artists, who I won`t be naming, I`ve decided not to be so literal with my work. At first I wanted to draw in the backgrounds, and I wanted the drawings to be of different things that we use to pollute the world and destroy the nature around us... So instead, I`m going to be recycling a lot of materials and old tuff I have lying around, to instead create a decayed nature piece, that`s made out of items we waste on a day to day basis!
I`m struggling to make sense of that myself after reading that back...
So far; I`ve been using a lot of dying flowers that my family members where going to throw out, old plastic bags and wallets for plastic fusion, old CD` from when we where redecorating and we re-discovered them (I`ve been smashing those up), a lot of old fabrics that I`ve been cutting up and turning into a paste, dirt and sand... And then, old tiles from when we re-decorated the bathroom aswell.
So I have been rather busy when you think about it all, even though I have been quite laid back with the blog uploads, I`m slowly getting round to uploading all of my art related bit and pieces now.
I can`t really tell you much from this point on since there isn`t that much to tell you all... Literally. The next time I`ll be doing any form of art work to do with this project is either when I`m painting a some sample and practice work, or when I`m doing my three boards for my final piece.
