Assignment 5: Personal Project Nos 4,5 & 6

Of the four prints I took from the mountboard plate, one sold and three remain. I’ve decided to work concurrently on these remainders as one complete idea. The following is the point which I reached today. I stopped to blog the work so far because I believed it could benefit from thinking about overnight. IContinue reading “Assignment 5: Personal Project Nos 4,5 & 6”

Experiment No 4 Assignment 5: Personal Project: Hypervigilance in Blue

I just managed a further couple of prints off the mountboard plate before it began to lose its integrity. Parts began peeling away from the plate as the final print was removed. I intend to use parts of a previous print, from the sectional plate I did earlier, for a collage. These are in aContinue reading “Experiment No 4 Assignment 5: Personal Project: Hypervigilance in Blue”

Experiment No 3 Assignment 5: Personal Project: “Hypervigilance”

This is how far I’ve got with this. I have finished cutting the plate and have taken my first two prints.

My plan is to use mixed media and collage techniques to add depthContinue reading “Experiment No 3 Assignment 5: Personal Project: “Hypervigilance””

Experiment No 2 Assignment 5: Personal Project

Experiment No 1 Assignment 5: Personal Project

I began thinking about this project at the beginning of Part 4 of the Drawing 1: Drawing Skills Module. Initially I thought about creating a cubist style drawing of multiple views of women in superimposed yoga “warrior poses”. But I decided this may be biting off more than I could chew right now. Cubism isContinue reading “Experiment No 1 Assignment 5: Personal Project”

Research point: Portraiture: Exhibition on Screen: A Bigger Picture and 82 Portraits and One Still Life

I went to see David Hockney exhibition “A Bigger Picture” In 2012. I revisited it today via this film about that exhibition – as well as focusing on one other exhibition in 2016: “82 Portraits and One Still Life” What is most immediate about Hockney’s work are his colour choices. The skill with which heContinue reading “Research point: Portraiture: Exhibition on Screen: A Bigger Picture and 82 Portraits and One Still Life”
