PROJECT 3 EVALUATION

PORTRAITS AND MEDIA

I decided to base the Portrait project on myself. I chose myself as I thought I would be able to produce myself how I see myself. I also thought it would be better as I know myself more than others and it would be easier to portray into my art work.

 I looked at 3 different artists, Andy Warhol, Anthony Wysard and Pablo Picasso. I looked at the artist Andy Warhol as he produced many printed art works like the one he produced for Vogue on Caroline De Monaco. Looking at Anthony Wysard, I liked his work as it was very sketchy and cartoon looking, as Wysard was a caricaturist. The third artist was Pablo Picasso, I noticed his art was very plain and simple but had a range of unusual colours and shapes which were there to make what looked to be a face.  

 Some mood boards went well; the artist research sheet was one of them. However the sheet which I was experimenting different media with I didn't have the photos to attach as they were took on my phone due to an issue with the cameras.

 I thought using Brusho inks and bleach on my final piece was very effective as it added the colour to my work and the eye-catching effect. I liked how my hair was done using black card with white pencil to add Shine effect. I added the newspaper at the bottom to create a different texture. Then I used cut outs from magazines of my favourite artists to put on the outside to show my interest. There is also a small element of water colours which is seen on my lips on my final piece.

 I believe my brusho ink technique has improved to a great standard. Other techniques I already found quite easy, but again I believe I've still improved them to a good standard shown on my final piece.

 I managed my time well, however a big problem was I didn't find some of my work adequate and therefore I re-did them to something I myself preferred. I have also learned how to do Mono printing; this was very effective to my final piece.

 I didn't think that the project was as much useful for the art side, as it was just the same media as in previous projects but more of finding I and my personality.

 

 

3D WORKSHOP 1

DRILLING AND NAILING

First of all we talked about health and safety; how we need to wear correct shoes, tie back hair, and take lanyards off. We also learnt we need to Wear saftey goggles and where the emergency stop button is on the drills.

In the workshop we began finding the centre of our MDF (medium density fiberglass board) by using a ruler and measuring diagonally and draw a line. From the point at which crosses place the compass pin and draw a circle. Then we cut out the circle using a coping saw to cut out the shape leaving a millimetre or two from the drawn line. When this is done, we would file the wood down to the drawing point using a file and sand paper.
Then we started a new project which consisted of using a thin drill to make holes for pins to be hammered in, these are piolet holes. When we finished drilling around out design on another piece of MDF we hammered the nails into the MDF.
Looking back at our first project of the day we learnt how to cut through the wood without making a cut from the outside of the wood. We used a Brad point drill to create a hole for the centre cut out circle and we then took apart the drill so it will place through the drilled hole. From there you cut out the circle again leaving a small space from the line to be filed down later.

3D WORKSHOP 2

Today we learnt how to cut pieces of wood so the end would be at an angle and can therefore be connected to another piece to create another angle in a neater way. We used a board which helped us cut straight, and also a clam to avoid the wood from snapping. We then went to create a design for our final piece looking at our information project work.
