I had collected three different books, each relating to  of the words in my project prompt. From this I can decide which off the theme I will focus on more throughout the project.]]> 2018-05-30 11:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264499156 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264500024 I have decided to work specifically with the prompt 'Growth' therefore during my time off college I have been walking through my local woods to collect some primary images of the plants that grow there. I have also collected images of gemstones from an exhibition at the Hancock museum.
In addition to this I have started my first draft of the project proposal that I will finish in the upcoming week.]]> 2018-05-30 12:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264500024 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264502494 Throughout this week I have experimented with inks, watercolour paints and markers using both primary and secondary references. These experimentations have given me ideas to work on for my final piece. My evaluations for each individual piece will be written on my main Padlet.]]> 2018-05-30 12:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264502494 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264513406 Digital work will be a prominent part of my project. I feel like digital work is effective with my prompt because of the contrast between the themes of nature/natural growth and the man-made nature of the medium. So far I only have a few experiments however I plan to experiment more with the medium. My evaluations for each individual piece will be written on my main Padlet.]]> 2018-05-30 12:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/264513406 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265201169 The feedback I received from the group critical told me that I needed to create more experimentation and collect more secondary research. Therefore in the upcoming weeks I will research relevant artists and create work inspired from them.]]> 2018-06-03 10:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265201169 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265201259 Using some secondary research of relevant artists as inspiration, I took my primary research of the flowers and gems and drew two images of gems growing from the flowers. From this I have created a variety of experimentation including pencil, watercolour, acrylic, acetate and I will create digital versions of them. I believe that this design is effective and I plan to use this or something similar for my final piece. My evaluations for each individual piece will be written on my main Padlet. ]]> 2018-06-03 11:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265201259 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265201614 Using my own tablet and drawing program (Wacom Cintiq and PaintTool SAI) I digitally painted the images of the flower gems. I believe that these images are effective enough to use as a final piece. My evaluation of the drawing will be written up on my main Padlet.]]> 2018-06-03 11:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265201614 556113 https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265202907 Now that it is near the end of the project I will be focusing on finishing the writing aspect of the project and finish my project proposal and evaluations.]]> 2018-06-03 11:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/556113/bhcuhbk2whyf/wish/265202907
