I'll talk about art and how I hope I can continue the talent I hold with my desired future. en-us 2016-05-24 14:47:11 UTC 2023-08-15 22:33:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/notebook.jpg olapomian https://padlet.com/olapomian/skz9xem7dmiz/wish/112348954 My final major project piece]]> 2016-05-24 14:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/olapomian/skz9xem7dmiz/wish/112348954 olapomian https://padlet.com/olapomian/skz9xem7dmiz/wish/112974385 https://www.instagram.com/arts_help/
Instagram account which shows a range of different art styles and techniques which look beautiful and outstanding. The account used the social media to show the awareness that art matters, and show's how beautiful and charming some pieces of art can be. And how different they all are. They can be 100% different and still be called art. The account got famous with the photos which gives a shoutout to every single artist which was used within the profile.

A website which promotes new people who hold an amazing talent to show their art work. The people who aren't really known for their skill as much as they should be. On that website you could either sell your work,  you can give it away or you can just show it off so you can get noticed. Some people just show their art work because they want to, not to get noticed nor famous. The website got big due to the fact there are many artists who want to show their work but couldn't, so thanks to deviantart they finally could.

A famous art and design blog which promotes any kind of art. That can be photography, technology, painting, etc. They show different types of art styles and each image is well informed about the idea of the piece, the background, why and how was it created and most importantly, who has created it. The blog used the social media and the internet to promote the art works by putting up photos that are interesting, mysterious and questionable. Something which would get viewers to looks at, talk about and question it. ]]> 2016-05-29 19:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/olapomian/skz9xem7dmiz/wish/112974385 olapomian https://padlet.com/olapomian/skz9xem7dmiz/wish/112974460 I as a young teenager have many idea's for what I'd love to do when I'm older. As a career. Such as be a make-up artist, graphic designer, and more. 
But the two jobs which stand out the most are; a secondary school art teacher, and a tattooist. 
Being a secondary school teacher isn't a difficult thing to get into. Having an art degree can get you the job easily. Of course, after completing college, once I pass everything, I'd be able to apply for any art teaching jobs. After having some training, I'd be an art teacher. The salary for an art teacher isn't the highest, but it's decent. £22,244 to £32,831 annually. But it'd be worth it. I always loved art, ever since I was a little girl. And having boring teachers who clearly don't find art fascinating only made me feel bad about my hobby and talent. No one else liked art because of it, so I want to be that teacher who encourages young minds to be creative, to like art, to find their talent if they have it. Art isn't for everyone, but you won't know if you like it unless you try it. 

Another job that I'd like would be being a tattooist. Of course, once I have my art degree I'd have to go get trained with professional tattoo artists to even start. I'd have to do at least a week course, which would cost around £1k. But, once you're experienced and known for your talent you can earn a lot. An experienced tattooist can earn £30000 to £60000 per year. I'd have to do an apprenticeship with a tattooing studio. It's  long process, but it's worth it. Being able to do art on someone's body which is going to be there for their whole life is scary, but amazing. Being the one to put a unique image on someones body so they feel happy would make me happy. Tattoo's were always a way to show your personality and who you are, what you love and what you believe in in my opinion. That's why I really wish I could get into that industry.

The whole idea of being there is to find anything that may be useful towards the work, to count for primary research. 
While walking around trying to find anything useful/helpful I came across these two pieces within the gallery. An old fashioned mirror with a painting reflected and some black glass melted and sculpted into a fascinating yet confusing shape. 
The way the mirror was presented is oddly creative and satisfying, the actual mirror itself is old fashioned, classy and delicate looking. So it's beautiful as it is anyway, but the fact that the art piece was put right in-front of it is quite creative. A mirror is a mirror, nothing special with that, but what's in the reflection is what matters. They could have put anything else opposite the mirror but they didn't, they put a piece of art with the same kind of style within it, and I believe it was either made at the same time or by the same person. It gives the illusion that the man within the picture is looking  at himself, maybe he did that when he was still alive. Maybe the man within the drawing was so self obsessed all he did was look into a mirror, and even after death he can still do that.

The glass figure was on it's own. The other glass pieces of art were further away, but next to each other. The one showing was isolated. Maybe because it's so delicate it needs space, or maybe to show that this piece of art wants to be alone. Looking at this statue it reminds me of a door, gateway, entrance to something. Something dark. This glass may represent a bad feeling, like sadness or even depression. That's why the glass is so dark, and alone. It represents how it feels to be sad/depressed. You feel dark, alone, isolated, and due to the crack/cut in the middle, broken. Also, this was the only piece of glass that was dark in the exhibition, or plain and flat. Every other was fun, colourful, crazy and nice to look at. The pictured glass was the outcast, and it was right in the middle, everyone would just walk past it. I feel like it's a deep piece of art, even though it's just glass.

But after some time after thinking and experimenting, I finally found some ideas how to show life and death within one image. The skull shows death, how much of my life has passed already and how close am I to death. The stars represent death, growing up I always believed stars represent each dead person, and after death a new star shows and shines above. The constellation represents life. I was born when the Capricorn star sign was showing, and so were many other people. Even though stars represent death, star signs don't. The image of the girl (me) shows life, as the project is about my origin, my birth, my beginning. I wanted to include myself within the image. Show my beginning and my life by showing me.

The way I'd represent this image in a gallery is putting it on a wall, quite far from every other drawing. But making sure the rest of the drawings in the room are either white/light or very dark. To represent the stars and space which takes place within the image itself. So the image doesn't just end where the canvas ends. But it ends when you enter a different room.]]> 2016-06-02 15:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/olapomian/skz9xem7dmiz/wish/113494197
