Electronic
Portfolio Statement
My
electronic portfolio consists of photographs of my art work from
the past two years of college.
The
tab on my blog, named ' Observational Drawings' shows drawings from
different subjects such as Fine Art and Drawing. The first two
images are from the start of my second year when I specialised in
Fine Art. This was called the ' Suitcase Project' which was based
on our personal items that we felt were important to us or had some
sentimental value. I chose my bag to draw as it contains my daily
essentials. The second photograph was one of the more enjoyable parts
of that project because we were able to explore techniques using
materials I was unfamiliar with and I found that my final out come
was very expressive and worked well .
The
next project in Fine Art was the 'Autobiographical Project' ,my
favourite project from Fine Art as it was based on who I am. I began
to look at topics that interested me. I choose travel and my idol ,
Katy Perry. I wanted to combine the two together, therefore I decided
to create a portrait of Katy Perry out of maps. I thoroughly enjoyed
making this final piece using materials such as wax and inks.
The
next section relates to Life Drawing. I really feel that this lesson
helped me to identify the different structures and shapes that make
up the human form. I chose to work with acrylics because I am
reminded that I can achieve brilliant tones by mixing shades of
grey which emphasis the bodies shape and muscle groups.
I
am currently working on a 'Landscape Project' for Fine Art, I began
by taking a variety of photographs in my local area which I am very
pleased and excited about because it gives me an opportunity to
experiment with vivid colours and muted tones.
By
using pastels and inks I can create peaceful looking scenes ,which is
effective because a lot of the photographs are calm ,having subtle
hints of colour. When people view my work I would like them to be
blown away by my pieces. And feel as if they are standing in the
scenery.
The
second tab on my blog is called ' Visual Communication' this is the
other subject I specialised in . Covering two projects over the
second year in Visual Communication I found that my skills in
Photo-Shop have improved dramatically which has helped me in my
other subjects to edit images and enhance things such as the colours
and quality of my work.
By
going to Brighton University, I would be able to get new inspiration
for my work . In the future I would like to see myself making artwork
for albums of music like Will Cotton, who painted Katy Perry's album
cover of Teenage dream .
