Art practice 4 and Visual research 4
Study Plan
Developing personal skills
This year I plan to develop practical skills in painting and sculpture working on my resourcefulness in finding alternative materials use. I think using found objects will help me to be pragmatic when making by forcing me to solve practical and aesthetic problems.
I want to develop skills using photoshop to help me plan and imagine work on a larger scale or in a gallery that I am currently unable to realize in real life.
The situation will teach me to adapt to limited facilities and unusual working conditions. Although I am very sad about the lack of studio space, I am interested in how this will push my work in another direction e.g displaying work in outdoor spaces, working on a different scale, using found objects.
I will develop a way of writing about my work succinctly for artist bio’s etc. I may also start to write little stories to go along with paintings and sculptures that will inform the audience about the work by setting an atmosphere or context.
Planning activity
I plan to draw every day and see what other work, painting, costume or sculptural grows out of it. My practice is quite intuitive often letting the materials I collect dictate my decisions. I will take trips to Museums and draw from life as well as imagination and pull from these drawings symbols and motifs to transform into different mediums.
Basically, I don’t what I’m going to do but I will continuously research, draw, paint and build until I have more of an idea.
Luckily, I live with three other art students and we have decided to hold group crits every Friday in order to share ideas. Everything I do will be documented through photographs and notes in physical and online sketchbooks I think it could also be useful to document work through video.
