PETER DEE VIDEO BRIEF  DIANNE CURTIN SEMESTER 2 YEAR 2

# data[].attributes.body
A short video essay responding to the lockdown. All the seagulls in Union Hall have disappeared. There were always gulls on my roof or in my garden if I fed the birds. Their familiar squealing was ever present. Now its just the crows - and the church has taken to ringing bells. This is the sound of the lockdown round my house.

WEEKEND 5 SEMESTER 2 ANNEMARIE WALKER PHOTOMONTAGE BRIEF

# data[].attributes.body
I made a second photomontage, this time with found imagery, trying to create a sort of Utopian world growing out of Dystopian urbanisation. I love found imagery for photomontage because it adds a sense of the ridiculous which I like. It's a medium I really enjoy and would like to explore more - but i deffo need a scalpel to cut the shapes properly! This was just an experiment really but it's kind of fun.

WEEKEND 5 SEMESTER 2 ANNEMARIE WALKER PHOTOMONTAGE BRIEF 

# data[].attributes.body
We were supposed to use the images from the camera tests for this excercise,  but I took images specially as I didn't really do the excercise properly. I photographed the movement of my left hand drawing to make the images for this, relating to my thematic of traces of self in landscape. I'm not left handed - as you can probably tell! I held the camera in my right hand! They eye shape reflects the sculpture carving I made and its reference to early cave art, as does the mark making with chalk.

WEEKEND 5 SEMESTER 2 SKETCHUP DIGITAL SCULPTURE

# data[].attributes.body
Glenn's exit brief asked us to make three 3D scultpures using the Sketchup program. I only managed to have a rough attempt at one. I've not really had time to get acquainted with this program so it was a bit of a rush job and I don't know enough about it to be able to create anything decent without practice. However I did have a go with this sculpture which is supposed to be a Utopian interactive sculpture which would allow people to sunbathe on the grass, have a dip in a pool etc. I need more practice with this so it will be something to aim at for next year. I didn't know how to save the file as a jpeg so I took a screen shot for the purposes of putting it on padlet.

DYSTOPIA  - ANALOGOUS HARMONY - PARADISE LOST

# data[].attributes.body
Original image of me wearing a mask in lockdown,  made smaller and repeated. Text from Milton's Paradise Lost. I had an Andy Warhol moment with the repetitive imagery! I used a roller to apply the paint in a repetitive pattern.  I like the '1984' style feel of the 'telescreen' result. Text is appropriate to the times we are in.

The following are images of the objects I carved after the scultpure workshop. I really loved the carving I will try to do more over the summer.

This carving is made from one block of plaster. It has a deliberately rustic look like a chunk of rock with the carving on it.

I also made an A2 landscape painting as part of Glenn's exit brief, which included with the remaining landscape paintings from his exit brief.

this painting combines white embossed table cloth cover with brown sugar paper and masking tape to provide different textures for the paint. I wanted to see how colours would change on the different surfaces, as colours are ever changing in the landscape and we change within that landscape.

The Gearagh is a famous part of West Cork's landscape. It's a flooded alluvial forest, part of the tidal River Lee waterway, with bog wildlife and flowers and the stumps of old oak trees visible when the water is low. Can be very hauntingly eerie in winter because it has an intense history.  I chose to paint it as part of my 'What is a Body'? thematic relating to the body of the ocean and water as a self in landscape. I've included a clip I found on you tube here just to show the landscape (forgot to put in secondary research!)

I missed this weekend because of work. I heard it was a painting weekend as the planned  sculpture class couldn't go ahead. Madge instructed the class to paint every day if possible. I used the time to do the EXIT BRIEF painting from the previous weekend and to plan my video essay. Because of the lockdown,  I ended up having to use photographs to make my landscape paintings.

We were asked after the visit to Imma on our first weekend, to develop a thematic to work on through this second semester.  Last semester I began to explore the idea of self in landscape, through the first mark making and art that was made by man in the landscape. I developed that theme through sketches and photographs, then a photographic installation work using a lobster pot which came from one of the island families,  displaying  shots of my footmarks on the beach at Silver Strand and a digital shot of my hand and foot. The pot signifies  an ancient historical piece of equipment for catching food and surviving on the island in the most basic of ways, using rustic natural materials which show the age and life story of the pot. I developed the thematic further with a set of digitally created images   for our end of Semester 1 photographic brief,  which captured my body and face as part of the landscape. So this semester I decided to try to develop that theme further within the modules of  painting, photography, photomontage, sculpture and the video essay. I did find it hard to always  incorporate the thematic within such a diverse range of art forms, and given the fact that we also had different themes to incorporate into exit briefs from different lecturers,  but I've tried to relate the work I have made this semester to my original thematic.

Week 2 Semester 2 Exit Brief Painting GLENN LOUGHRAN 

# data[].attributes.body
We were asked to make six paintings, three from Sherkin and three from home environment, some to be used in our video essay. We were asked to use different harmonies for each painting and to record stages of development of the work. All paintings are A2 size. I hadn't realised they all had to be landscapes so my first two paintings were from the home environment, using my arm and hand and my daughters feet, painted from life, fitting with my thematic of marks of self in landscape as the early tools of art making. i went on to paint a rockpool in Sherkin which I had used before for the short film we made at the end of last Semester

After showing our video essays to the class with Jesse Jones on the final weekend of Semester 2, the critical feedback I got made me rethink my original attempt. Jesse suggested that we should  really think about sound as an important and equal  component to visuals in good video art. I took this on board and it made me reconsider my original music soundtrack.   I removed it and created a soundtrack from my own voice (a point which came up in class feedback)  and some found sounds which I altered with Davinci. It was really useful to see other people's work and to hear what was said about my work. Here is the second attempt which has the thematic of exploring the concept of the ocean as a 'body and 'self' in landscape, with the impact it makes upon that landscape, and my connection and mark making within that relationship to the ocean and landscape of Sherkin Island.
