Development Of Identity

As part of my last project I developed my previous theme of 'Identity' I chose to concentrate on the idea of how people are judge by there appearance and decided to show how the reflection of a lense could demonstrate different sides of someone that may not always be seen. This project was shorter than the previous titles so I didn't manage to finish this one to the standard that i would have prefered.

My main piece was done on a small thick piece of wood using arcylic paint, generally I foung that working with acrylic didn't come as natural to me as most people.

Here are a few images which influneced my piece, I liked how the image uses the colour to connect the two head. This is how the introduction of the lense came in, I tried to capture in my photos the disformation create by the relfections in the lense to try and create a similar effect.

This was a copy of an image that I found from the internet which reflects the sterotypical model which demonstrates what women have to try and live upto due to the pressure.

I looked into famous pictures and people that were concentrated around beauty

This also demonstrates other photographs that I looked into, ones in which show reflections using different materials, but I also thought about developing my idea into how beauty may cause disturbing thoughts in our minds which could be represented by a cold small boxed room.
This is a copy of an artist who paints in the style of pop art. As my piece was in a similar style and around the same subject this helped support my idea of beauty.

Art Exam

As part of my course I had 2 days to complete a piece of art work under the title SANTUARY. My idea originated from the idea of how humans rely on there family and friends to make them feel safe. I then looked further and developed my idea by considering those who don't have anyone other than themselves to rely on, considering what they may turn to to try and hide from the truth such as drugs and alcohol. This is where my idea originated from. I decided to look into the lives of the homeless and street life.

My main piece was done all in black/ red biro on paper, to create a worn and used look I stained the paper with coffee and sprinkled some of the granuals onto wet areas and let it run.

As part of my prep work I decided to do etchings as this would demonstrate a skill which would support mybiro work. After realising that I made the mistake or incorrectly writing the "Change Please" the wrong way I decided to cut this out and print again, this then created a stronger atmosphere and allowed the piece to look more lost and lonely with the blank space.

I decided to experiment with a coloured beer bottles with certain angles from the light to create different reflections through the glass.

Above are my prep sheets demonstarting copies of artists work such as Picasso during his blue period and the general development of my work.
