My first draft

Genna Dean
Final Major Project Proposal

review

I work well at intricate hands-on , practical work in a range of media. In the past few months I have become accomplished using many more techniques such as:  plaster casting; print making and photography. Projection to make my own photo on my plaster cast; Experimentation on what works and what doesn’t, not scared to get stuck in e.g. applying medium to plaster cast samples; and many more insignificant skills.

I build on ideas and concepts by using techniques and skills I have used and learnt in the upcoming months and my ability to push ideas further  to accomplish a unique captivating piece of art.

Ideas and concepts

My theme is the Human Figure as it shows potentials in a vast number of pathways or even all pathwyas which doesn’t limit my thought proces or making. You can find examples on my blog of several ideas from artists which have inspired me, and theres endless possibility of choices on how to take work further.
As I have chosen the Human Figure I was unsure about which pathway to choose as I am very passionate about the whole art and design area in general but to keep my options open I have decided to do Fine Art and photography, as its very broad and many ways to experiment . I am as well going incorporating 3D and sculpture, printmaking, media, graphics and textiles in to my work.  So I can do anything which is with reason.

Contextual research
The photography artists I have looked at are: Eadweard Muybridge, William Morris, Humprey Jennnings’ Horses Head 1937-1940 and James Carnegie.
I have gained ideas and may adapt and develop them in my own work. For example, the flip books of a series of action images, flicked to create the illusion of continuous motion, inspired by Eadweard Muybridge.

Techniques and presentation

I will need to take photos of people around me and life drawings or general drawings in many ways, document by an  image or drawing artist research.

I will use all materials which are recommended or advised to me aswell as being challenging and using new materials used in a safe environment,  just incase anything goes wrong, im not in danger. I will show everything I do and produce will be recorded and shown on my blog on a daily basis.

As we don’t really know our dimentions for spaces in our exhibition you can make the Final Major Piece at an apropriate size and not being idiotic. This is so that it still has the best possible outcome but also not overpowering or comparison with others work.

Most materials will be accessable but, if there not available, I will either find an alternative which will suit the same purpose or I will supply the material myself from somewhere else.

I will be using the methods of information gathering, recording of ideas and reasons for doing a piece of work, in my sketchbook, journal and blog.

Evaluation and progression

To evaluate my project in progress I will be continuously checking back to my brief to ensure the criteria is being met.  I will ask my pathways tutor for feedback, and improve and cover all aspects several times till they cover all the requirements a brief asks for.

By showing development, self-motivation, determination and drive to achieve energy and  perceive a thought provoking piece of work,  which will carry out  gaining  me a distinction at the end of the year.

I will be thinking all the time about what I am doing and working to the best of my ability.

If anything goes wrong in the process I will record and take note of it, reflect on it to see how to improve it.  If the problem is irrepairable, I will learn where and why it went wrong, learn from the mistake and reflect this in my work and then try again.      

My final proposal can be found at the end of my project and blog...
