This mind map is based on the 2000s -2010 , I found pictures off Pinterest of things I remember from growing up.

Using a point of view to describe a childhood memory and the used of techniques the artist had used to put into my own art work. I used acrylic paint to paint this picture, I blended the colours to get that picture affect , this is responding back to the artist like he used in his art work, I think this was successful because I used the brush strokes like the artist. I think this really helped me go further with my art work, and it shows brush techniques.

Using water colour and oil pastels to make the dress from the game Just Dance 1  Wii.  I used oil pastels and water colour to create this mixed media art work.I made this as I remember playing this game when I was younger as we had just dance 1 and 2, this was one of the first songs I danced to on the game. I think this was successful as it showed colour and use of mixed Media and the only pat which I didn’t find successful was the dress one as I didn’t know what mediums to use on the dress.I think this made my work much more expressive and it shows that I can use medium that isn’t my specialism.

Looking at colour and words to describe nostalgia in general. I think this isn't the best piece of collage work I’ve done. I think I could of done this at home and I would of done a better job with this collage piece, the successful part of this piece would be the colours I used to creat a personal colour for this project.

Finding objects in the museum that remind me of my theme and also looking at colour. This trip wasn’t my favourite trip, but it was nice to see some inspiration for future art works.

The Alice Neel was a portraiture artist who painted friends and family and the colour she uses I could use in my project as they are mostly bold colours.i really liked how she has used her colours In her painting in her own style, for example using tomes and shadows to represent light and where its coming from in the room.

This response i did of Roxana Halls and I used bright colours like the artist, I used acrylic in this piece because I wasn’t sure what medium she used, also this week we did a peer feedback where classmates give advice on what you could improve on.  Next time I would focus on developing my backgrounds to respond to the artist and also focus on practicing the hair so I can use the right techniques for toddlers hair as it’s very soft touch texture.

Development response of Roxana Halls and response Alice Neel    

# data[].attributes.body
The development for Roxana Halls response, I used a more calmer background this time and it’s only focusing on me, this was also my development from what my peers said , and I tried to use the same techniques like the artist has done in her painting. If I was to do it again next time the same I would of thought of a better background for the painting , also to think of a better colour concept that would relate to my theme.

Observational drawings in pencil of me and my sister. This is also showing memories from the pictures I found in my laptop. To do these drawings, I wanted to show how I grew up as a child and also my relationship with my sister. I did re draw the left drawing a few times, because my head in the drawing wasn’t right  because forehead was more straight, then I went to more of a rounder shape on the head. Next time I would practice my drawings of features on the portrait like the eyes and the hair, and I would show this in more observational drawings in other projects.

Using bright and vibrant colours to reflect childhood. This is a painting I did of me on holiday in 2007, I used acrylics using brush strokes to get the expression of the face.To improve it next time I would practice my hair techniques and do a lot of sampling, especially rocker hair.

# data[].attributes.body
Using more of a landscape photo, this was a acrylic painting from my colour palette page, I mostly used colours that related to my theme. I mostly focused on the teacup, not the face as I want to practice to paint landscapes. I think it’s successful because I love the colours I used and the tones and how it corresponds with my theme. Next time I would want to experiment with different colours of the tea cup and explore with more techniques.

Doing a bigger painting of a face of me and still looking at colour to show expressions and how the brush strokes also shows expression.if I did this again a second time I would of worked on the mouth more as it’s a bit off.

# data[].attributes.body
using colours that represent me when i was child, using pinks, pastels and yellows and whites to create tones of the face and the expressions the brush strokes follow. To do it a second time round i would of worked on the lights of the face and the mouth again as it was more of a sad face then a happy one.

A song that I grew up with.

This is a mixed media of me and my sister of a lino print, this shows relationship and memories of me and my sister and I used light colours to show happiness. If I did it again for a second time I would of cut the lino out the right way round as it’s flipped the other way when printing it.

# data[].attributes.body
Part 2
these are Lino prints I made of me and my sister I did these to experiment of what medium I'm most strong in.
I made these because I wanted to use the photo of me and my sister to show the relationship of us, i used the colours to represent childhood mostly light and bright colours to represent childhood. these will help me to develop my sketchbook.

Experimenting with acrylic and collage background 

# data[].attributes.body
This is experimenting with different backgrounds, this is a background from my first mind map page and we tried to photocopy it with normal printing paper but when I tried to paint on it it didn’t really stand out and it kept on fading, I feel like if I used cartridge paper to print it would work better but I don’t think I could of photocopied with cartridge. If I did it for a second time I would of try to print with a different kind of paper.

Researching chalk artists that mostly paints ballerinas and using bright colours.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my chalk work I did , it was my first time using my chalk for my portraits. I really liked how I used the colours to show my childhood and the child soft play colours. I feel like I’ve shown a good range of media in this project ,and I think this a first step of developing my chalk in more of my future projects.If I did this for a second time again I would know more chalk mark making techniques and how to use it better when using chalk.

Experimenting with Adobe illustrator and painting soft toys 

# data[].attributes.body
This is a mind map of potential ideas for my final outcome, using adobe illustrator was a new experience and I think I understood it really well, I was also was experimenting with colour and using the colour tool on illustrator work very well, after learning how to to do illustrator I painted one of the colour illustrations, this was very difficult but it’s very expressive. If I did this again i would trace the work I did on Adobe illustration.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my first idea, I wanted to use this picture of Cailin and I and I wanted to split it on to two canvases but it wouldn’t make sense because I wanted to show the relationship of my sister. Also I added the teddy’s on top, these represent our childhood toys we sued to play with and it shows the relationship between  my sister and myself.I will not be going for this idea.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the other ideas I had, idea 2 is one that I am using for my final outcome, this one represents my childhood well and I think the picture of the bears I found are so cute so I used it in this idea. The 3rd idea had same combination but I used different photos, I don’t like this idea much because the photo I used to sketch of my sister and I will be a bit difficult because we have sunglasses on, but I think it’s cute.

# data[].attributes.body
These are is my ideas for the final outcome background, I wanted the colours to represent childhood like soft play. All of these composition ideas are just to know what to put where and to see if it would work when doing my final. I chose the third composition as it represents my theme well.

Practicing painting hair and practice paint portrait.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a double page of practicing painting toddler hair and reference pictures of for my final outcome. I think I did really well with painting hair and this helped me develop my final out come, I could improve on making the hair a bit neater in the practice painting. If I did it again the second time I would wash it down with acrylic paint to get the baby hair more fine and fuzzy.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my development of my final outcome and I am very proud of my work and progress this definitely help me improve my painting skills, there where a few challenges through out but it turned out the way I want it to be. To improve my out come I would of structured where I would put the portraits and the bears.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the last page of my FMP sketchbook , this was the last bits of my final out come development and I’m very proud of my outcome. If I did my final out come again I would of known more about the composition and spacing. I think the most successful part of this final out come would be the way I used colours and incorporated them in my own style.

This song is for the end of the project.
