TUTORIAL WITH EMMA
- Need to make my work more contemporary
- Currently stuck in the 1950’s – funny given that the topic I am currently exploring is a very contemporary topic
- Think about how I can escape the ‘boring bubble’ of repetition, and lack of development.
- This year needs be exciting, motivating and really stretch my own boundaries
- Take risks – even if the result is bad, take the risk, it’s important to improve and reflect upon these.
- Use term one as a term of exploration, make sure to record and explore as much as possible, critical reflections are super important too
- Contemporary artists only if possible – get out of the 1950’s!!!
TUTORIAL WITH PIP
- Explore the materials that drive my ideas further – make the studio a fun place to work
- I get lost in trying to produce perfection – avoid this! Experiments and mistakes, or pieces not turning out quite how I originally planned or good!
- Make the studio a more inspiration place, create a corner to explore materials, especially recycling, record photographs and video recordings.
- Think about that impact, using these materials have on myself. What physical and emotional responses can I obtain from interacting with the materials.
TUTORIAL WITH HELEN
- Don’t stop for anyone – there are no boundaries so push as far as you can. Take risks, just as both Pip and Emma have stated.
- Think about the very root of my original idea, what was that and why have I lost focus on that
- Draw yourself back to the original idea
- Cover the studio walls with newspaper articles, make yourself provoke ideas, and emotions. How do the articles make you feel? What emotions do they provoke and what ideas can I stem from this.
TUTORIAL WITH PIP
- Good progression
- Seem to be confident in my ideas
- Really like the mix of ideas combining together
- Keep pushing the boundaries, still be confident enough to take risks.
- Make sure the reflections or strong to show the journey and why I have done what I have done – atm without strong engagement and reflection the work could look lost in terms of what I am really focused on.
- ALSO – got the risk assessment form signed off, so I can go ahead with interviewing people for my topic.
TUTORIAL WITH HELEN
- Really pleased with the progression
- Likes that I am taking on board everything each tutor has said and given it a go, to explore the outcome and see if it would be a valuable addition to my work.
- Spoke about how the tutors offer different advice, ideas and guidance and how I can maturely handle a wide range of different and perhaps conflicting notions.
- Continue reflecting. It’s really important that I show why I have done something, whether it is good or not and how I can improve and WHY!
- The line work I am exploring seems really strong and with goos intention so continue with that.
- Interested to see how all the compositional elements come together
TUTORIAL WITH EMMA
- Likes where it is going
- Strong line work
- Need to think about how the ideas all connect together better
- Be more experimental with materials
- Create texture with the new mediums – perhaps some paste that can mix with the dyes.
- Starting to take some interesting risks and decisions but could push it further.
- Make sure the lines are as bold on the finished piece as they are in the original sketches.
- The background in the paintings could be made darker to really enhance what I am trying to say.
THIRD YEAR - TERM ONE
