My sisters walls have always inspired me to decorate my room with pictures. I've been gradually adding since the first isolation in the covid 19 pandemic. i thought it would make sense to explore the actual art of collage for my FMP as I was already making in the medium and was always surrounded by it.

A UWE Bristol offer holder day task. I got to have a feel for what there lessons would be like for an hour and a half. We were asked to make art like a certain artist would and sell it to art buyers (the tutors) as if we are the artist pitching our art by explaining and pleading its worth.

'Escape' by Gwen Stefani Lyrics

I saw the lyrics written down and I had to possess them for myself so I used a black pastel to get it raw looking which I like and I was very happy it fitted the age perfectly.

'Escape' Edited

I felt as a photo the poser looked plain so I decided to edit it. I used my phones own editing process and turned saturation and vignette up a lot.

Behind the Image

A turning point. I turned the cut out photograph to glue it to paper and realised its behind looked more interesting and I preferred it much more. I like the rare and difficult to replicate shape of it and the pattern of what feels like a missing piece to a jigsaw of an image. I think I want to focus on shapes more after discovering this.

Skull and webs

Someone mentioned drawing skulls from the side of your page to stretch them out and webs because we'd previously drawn a manga Spiderman so I closed one eye from different angles and I made this.

Spare Tape on My Wall

I left this tape on my desk the week before and realised it was pretty automatic. It was quick and easy to make. So I decided to lay around with the masking tape; tearing it up and sticking it down

Fox and the Sound

Fox and the Sound

This is a collection of doodles I did unrelated to work. Probably when procrastinating my own work and I had this idea and had to get it down which I'm now including it as art for my FMP because it uses the methods of quick art I was searching for. Then I kept drawing and these are what I made. I loved drawing these. They were quick and felt like me and my style- rough and plain.

Barking Hound

I remember when hiking we came across a rare handful of dogs barking and it's interesting because they could be barking for a number of reasons; they could be scared, asking for a fight or just really excited and trying to tell us but I can't tell

Cat In a Puddle Extended Version

I used Felicty's drawing tablet to draw my cat in a puddle again. I wanted it to have a story. I n this the cat has stepped in a puddle which is a portal. it wakes up a vertical portal which is a mirror and cats,  which I actually ended up drawing more like rabbits, 

were jumping out to greet the cat. They'd come to see it as it also like them had traces of glitter.

Maybe I'll explore drawing more when I'm at university doing another project. I'll probably be illustrating my dreams ad random thoughts by then.

Thursday 6th May 2021

Idea for showcase:

  • Blow up picture of a favourite piece?

  • (I don't have a favourite piece and my work isn't about a final polished piece. it's about the process. I want to showcase that.

  • Use a projector with a Mac of my production journey

  • Create small zines to hand out to visitors with images of maybe 8 of my favourite works

I wanted to record my work and I was getting tired taking a photo every time I stuck something down so I towered some textbooks, placed my phone poking over the edge and recorded me making in time-lapse. 

I was really struggling to actually sprinkle the paper and had to ask someone else to show me how to do it. I also wondered whether time-lapsing was the best for just dropping and sticking paper and if a lived video might be better. But time-lapsing does speed up time. I did find it was really boring to watch back the gluing stage but I guess I haven't made this for entertainment.

Asked ink Hafza if I could have the ink she'd used and left on the table in the middle of classroom and she said yeah. I've never really used ink a part form in Lucia's workshop. This could work a lot better than paint. It dries faster and it has a really nice matte finish when thick. I think this could be added to my torn paper pages easily.

Exhibition idea: Could photocopy my sketchbook, print the best pages off and cover a wall space like wallpaper?
