Induction Task



Induction Task






This photo is taken off a ferry and shows the handrails and the waves below. The cool tones of the ocean and the bubbles in the water reflect the choppy English sea and the cold morning, giving a cool and misty feel.








This photo was taken from one side of an island looking out at the beach and the other side of the island. The leaves and branches frame the photo and give the beach the idea it's hidden away. The ocean is very calm and motionless, and so are the trees, representing a serene environment.







The bright yellow flowers contrast the green and grey of the plants and the rocks. I like this photo because the flowers are so vibrant and gives a warm feel which stands out against the cold, cool rocks.






 The next 3 photos contrast the first 3 because the first 3 represent the British weather and the next three were taken in Dubai and give a different feel. This photo was taken deep in the desert and the sand dunes give very warm toned shadows, almost purple. The smooth dunes are disrupted by vigorous tire tracks and camel footprints.







This photo shows a skyline reflected off a peaceful ocean. The sun is almost set so the sky is a gradient from the cool blue to the slightly orange purple and dusky. The skyscrapers of contrasting shapes and sizes blend into the sky the further back they go. The strongest skyscrapers reflect onto the rippled sea.






This photo represents busy city life, the bright blue sky and minimal shadows show its midday and there's still cars and a busy atmosphere. There's typical city buildings and towering over it all is the worlds tallest building, which looks small compared to the closer, but it just very far away.







This is my response. I used acrylic for most, but some oil pastels too. In the top right, I used acrylic and oil to create this to capture the motion of the marks left on the desert and constant moving and busy life. The ocean was created using short sharp brush strokes, and goes from harsher cooler tones on the right fading into a warmer and smoother ocean on the left, which reflects the dusky sky after sunset. The oil pastels represent the smoothness of the dunes. I used leaves and different shades of green to frame part of the painting to create a mysterious atmosphere, mimicking the secretive cove.

'Journey' ideas

Image
'Journey' ideas At first, I was thinking of doing my journey on biology and the development of cells and evolution, but as I've thought about that I don't think I could put enough emotion into it, so I want to base this 'journey' on something more personal and to do with my family. I'm going to start the ball rolling by looking at the history and life timeline of my great grandad, who had a very tough journey to make towards the end of his life, the Burma trek in 1942. I have some family records of this and I've done some research but I need to look more towards the artists in the country and in the same time period, as well as artists who expressed themselves about making life changing decisions, to the physical and emotional pain he would have had to have gone through, up to expression frustration almost as a family of today trying to look back at his history but there being minimal records. I found an article with contains a video showing el...

Experiments continued

Image
The second workshop we did was printing, we did monoprints (addition, subtraction and relief), collographs and embossing. For the collographs and embossing we used a press. This piece i did on some old music paper I had, I used subtraction monoprinting and I dampened the paper and this was the look I got in the end. This piece I did on dry paper using addition monoprinting, This is my favourite piece by far as it slightly resembles a face, and has a mysterious feel to it. This was the final outcome of the experiments I did on printing, the top 2 are monoprints and the bottom 2 are collogrpahs. I did a small print of an eye on top using relief monoprinting, the middle piece is the plate I used for the collograph, and ther bottom one is a emboss of the above stamping plate.

Background of final developments

Image
Map development for background of final During my research, I came across a website (angloburmeselibrary.com) where I found many more documents and information I wanted to incorporate into my final piece. One main piece of information I found was a map showing evacuation routes on foot from Burma to Assam, India. This map intrigued me as its all hand written and contains so much detail, and someone would of had to draw this out, and in 1942, I assume it would be rather difficult to plan to evacuate a whole city, so although its just a map at first glance, the marks made represent the emotion of the artist who created it, and how some of the towns names are scribbled and messy, whereas some are neat in capitals. This shows a variation in the marks created.  I want to incorporate this map onto the background of my piece, on canvas, I've gone several trials on different backgrounds to come to the conclusion of which background would be best. I tried drawing the map over white acr...
