My intended goal was to create something like this. This is also the image I used as a template.

I have chosen the topic of music to present evolution over time throught the genre of rap.
me initial ideas are to blend old school rap with new school or more moddern rap. Over the past 20 year the rap game has changd alot and i will demonstrate that through medias of graphite, paint, pastles and more to create a wide range and tone of media.

# data[].attributes.body
My overall aim is to blend a piece of work inspired by a moddern artist n the style of an old school or the other way around. Some initial inspiraton ideas are using album covers, features in songs, and pictures of the artist themself to create a piece unique to my style and taste of music to make it personal to myself which will make me mor inrested in the project to my full skills and effort will be shown to presen my best artworks yet.

Using shapes to create an image

I have decided to do a rough outline to create an easier template to go around rather than going straight in with staining the paper as if I make a mistake the piece would have to be restarted

# data[].attributes.body
For this edit i have decided to focus on shadows by editing it to become black and white to focus on shadows. I also fixed the image background to make the tracksuit pants pop out a little more making it more noticeable. However by doing this I have lost the effect of the hat and face with the hand covering the face standing out as the lighting was changed. If I was to do anything different I would make the face pop out more to highlight the face being covered and the hat however keeping the definition around the tracksuit pants.

# data[].attributes.body
I intend to create a piece that is in a similar style to Vince Low. I will use the scribble technique to create a piece in a similar style to a uncle however making it more relevant to my theme.

# data[].attributes.body
Using inspiration from Cooper Hewitt, I intent to create the background of my final piece using a similar staple of typography however using song lyrics to make it more relevant. This links in with the idea of evolution as it is seen as an old school thing to write down music lyrics in pen and paper instead of doing it digitally which links in with the transition in time from early rap music to modern music ways now. I plan to experiment with composition, fonts and font sizes to creat the design and I will choose my favourite to incorporate into my final design.

# data[].attributes.body
After experimenting with pens I decided to try prints to variate my design as I wanted to have variations within my final design. Overall I am pleased with the pieces as the pen creates a tone which I don’t think would be achieved with a print and the tone is what make the piece have the sense of realism which I wanted to have in the design.

# data[].attributes.body
After this experiment I have decided that in the final piece I would prefer to use biro pens to creat the final design as the prints, as expected, didn’t add enough detail or enough tone to create a sense of reality sighing the piece due to the lack of contrast and shadows created. Therefore, my best work and what I will use in my final piece is biro pen.

# data[].attributes.body
After experiment with the font sizes and the composition I have decided that the smallest font would look the best as it is a background and I don’t want it to be too overpowering. I will also experiment with the colours used as well experiment with black in white and grey on black to determine what I will use and what I will not to create the best final piece possible.

# data[].attributes.body
After printing directly into the inc and on white paper I have decided that non of them particularly look good or would suit my design so I will do another experiment with pen and using highlighter to create a similar effect to what Cooper Hewitt does in the first art piece To create a similar effect

# data[].attributes.body
I have chosen to do the lyrics of a modern artist to match the drawing of Vince Low to create the transformation of a modern artist using a old school artist’s technique of writing the lyrics on paper

# data[].attributes.body
I have decided to add a highlighter over some words that aren’t relevant to the lyrics to creat the similar effect that Cooper Hewitt made by using dates and titles.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I am very pleased with how this has came out and I will be using the highlighter technique in my final design. I will also be using the biro pen to create this as it adds a Lyn easier surface to use the the highlighter on however I will use some letters or word from inc to create a wider range of tone and wider range of materials used within the design.

# data[].attributes.body
I have decided that I will use a biro pen drawing of a music artist in the style of Vince Low and I will do a typography background in the style of Cooper Hewitt using highlighter(s), pen and some prints to add more of a range in tone and material used .

# data[].attributes.body
After looking at the artwork collections of Austin Kleon I have decided to experiment with the art style newspapers to find hidden messages that would link in with my theme of music. The idea that instantly comes to my head is to use music lyrics, album names, artists names and using inc around them to single out the word(s) or letters to create a new look on the newspaper

# data[].attributes.body
I like these images as overall as an artist I think my work as illustrating portrayed is better than a physique of the whole body of a human. This is why I chose 4 images that were portraits or music artists.

# data[].attributes.body
Likewise to images I dislike the reason I do t like there’s is as I am less confident with drawing a physique then a portrait.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I dislike the as it doesn’t look very presentable and in my opinion using this in my final design would take away the initial viewpoint and as this is to be used as a background I wouldn’t use this as my final piece.
I like how the message “roses are red” is created in a unique way to create a second thought that shouldn’t be seen in the newspaper otherwise. “Roses are red” is a song lyric used in roses by juice wrld which created the link back in to music and the contrast from digital to non digital effect and preferences of writing down lyrics.
If I was to use this technique again wouldn’t print directly onto the nexus paper but into a higher quality of newspaper as this didn’t work well which creates the gaps and not a clean slate of black. Also I would ask for some support on the colours as initially I thought the pink was a red as I wanted to add a effect on colour to worlds but as I am colourblind it didn’t show to its full effect.

# data[].attributes.body
Experiment: white on black

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I prefer the design of this to the one with inc and newspaper however I still don’t think this would work well within my final. This is why I have decided to use the sections with in why artwork to split it up into sections to create a collage almost of a final piece.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I am pleased with the composition of the artwork however, in the final design I will split the background into 3 sections. Within the design there is background space done the left, in the gap of the arm and in the top right corner and as there are 3 sections each will be portrayed within different styles by either the same artist or different artists

# data[].attributes.body
I will now go through the final design with the main focus point inspired by Vince Low and look at my artworks inspired by Cooper Hewitt and Austin Kleon to determine a composition

# data[].attributes.body
After looking through newspapers I found a small article that would fit in the top right corner almost perfectly which I used in the final design.
I used the blackout poem technique to present a new meaning and overall read of the newspaper as it  now says “all girls are the same” which links to my project as it is a music quote from juice wrld.

# data[].attributes.body
I used newspaper to preset the background and a black sharpie to go over letter and word that wouldn’t fit the design

# data[].attributes.body
I have also used a white on black using black paper and a white pencil as when experimenting with the artist I liked the use of an white on black as the design felt a lot of black in white and I feel the change gives a better and more refreshing look to the piece as it isn’t all a solid slate of black on top of a plain white paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the fact that the top right and more central pieces or background had been used in the final piece with art inspired by Austin Kleon, I used the lyrics from lucid dreams, all girls are the same, lean wit me and robbery to create this piece. I used a black biro to create the piece over the white of the background and went over some of the words randomly with highlighter to create a different composition of the piece. Instead of sticking to 1 colour I used a couple to add some change into the piece as in my opinion the colour brings more life into the piece as the black and white were quite boring .

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I am pleased with the fact the background has just as much of a boldness to the piece as it blends together perfectly. Within the final design I will use pieces inspired by all artists and I incorporate that into the final design and possibly add some colour to it too.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this piece as the scribbles create a piece that over all looks quite calm despite being built up of chaotic scribbles.
What I dislike about this piece is that I wanted a wider range or tone which couldn’t be shown due to only using a black biro pen.
If I was to create this piece again I would use pen and pencils to show the shadows and this would create the wider range of tone.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this piece because it creates a hidden meaning and could be used to show expressions or a hidden meaning which I used to create a song lyric.
However I dislike the fact that I’m some lighting the biro pen I used for outlining can be seen through the sharpie and when using the sharpie the newspaper became damp because of the amount of inc which caused some rips which was also the reasoning for not using inc in the final design.
If I was to do this again I would outline in pencil and rub it out after to not have the shine of the biro come though in different lighting and I would stick the newspaper down before using the sharpie over it so the inc can translate onto the other paper behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the contrast from using black on top of a white background from all the other pieces being a use of black and colour on top of a white background which creates a different viewpoint.
What I dislike about this piece is the fact the white pencil isn’t bold enough and doesn’t show or give the effect I overall was aiming to achieve
If I was to do this again I would aim to achieve a bolder finish which could be done through the media of pen, paint or even inc.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this piece as it is clean and in some cases looks very similar to the art work from Vince Low due to the effect of chaos and how smaller things can build up a bigger picture. I also like the boldness of using capital letter which in my opinion gives a nicer look.
I dislike the fact some letters are smaller than others due to the amount of space I had where the space varies.
If I was to do this again I would try to make use all the letter are the same length and height by using lines as a guide or using a stencil.

# data[].attributes.body
I also added colour to achieve an effect similar to Cooper Hewitt’s use of crossing a line through words and letters that didn’t show as I didn’t want to cross out word that still had meaning towards my piece.
I dislike the fact the highlighter words don’t have meaning in the sense there’s no hidden message I just used it to achieve an effect which I’m happy with but it doesn’t fully comprehend the meaning of use used by Cooper Hewitt.
If I was to use the again I would try use the highlighter to achieve a hidden or multiple hidden message within the lyrics.

# data[].attributes.body
I broke it into individual parts as it’s hard to too the individual details with the design so big on the photo.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I am extremely happy and impressed with my own work as the design works very well together and the composition in my opinion brings extra details which I don’t think would have been achieved within another composition.
I also like the different sections being spread out which make the viewer look around the piece not just have g a glance at the overall design I think that works well as the chaos makes more to be taken in but it doesn’t look messy but rather presentable and quite clean in a sense if there being sections.
I dislike the amount of colour used I think I went a little over board with the amount I used I creates too much of a viewpoint.
If I was to do this again I wouldn’t use as much colour or use the colours throughout the design so it all blends together instead of being segregated.
I also dislike the pencil design over black card I think a white pen would be more bold and would stand out better.

For my photo shoot I decided that I wanted to use music artists album covers as an inspiration. After looking around I decided that the music artist NF was the artist I wanted to look into more from a photograph point of view.
I looked at albums he released and decided on using this.

# data[].attributes.body
I intend to create a photo like this by using a black background and using either the flash on my phone or by adding some lighting from some lamps. For this I will try get ahold of the black room or a photography studio inside the college.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this piece as it looks very similar to the original photography used to create the album cover. The lighting looks good and in my opinion I think the outfit selection works well within the photo. I also decided to edit the date that the song was either released to YouTube or leaked to YouTube as after looking through my personal playlist this was the date I downloaded the song.
What I don’t like about the piece is the fact that the background is maybe too dark as it blends into the tracksuit pants. This then links to my other disliking that I don’t like the fact you can’t see the full outfit as the photo is very close in.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I think this experiment went well as the overall goal of creating a piece that looks like a stencil was achieved. However after doing a couple of experiments I have decided I like the 1st experiment more as the background of the second takes away the gaol of making it look like a print.I would also try to keep the same texture and colour of the coffee staining the same to really highlight the fact that it should look like a print or create a effect that looks like a print.

re I decided to do some experiments to see if there were any technique or materials that I wanted to add to my final piece to create a link back with previous artist and experiment I have decided to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I did like this as the main focus point of the piece was supposed to be the drawing of the music artist however adding the the text over the top it takes away the main focus point. Over all this would work well as a background but not in the way of this piece.
