Art Portfolio Project: SMART Objective

-
Theme: Earthly Delights
S (Specific): Enamel pin and logo design for products and stickers
M (Measurable): Set of six designs each
A (Attainable): 8 weeks of work time
R (Results-Oriented): Increase proficiency with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Procreate.
T (Time-Bound): 8 weeks


I will be creating six designs for each enamel pin and magazine covers for charities such as GreenSpirit Magazine to make the viewer more aware of the current climate and ecological issues of Earth and humans have affected it. I have chosen the design for this project to as visual factors for these products is essential in determining whether the viewer will take interest in the issue, with the theme being a ‘cycle’ based from the Buddhist idea that life and death repeats itself but in relation to how humans and the Earth interact with each other, to fit in the theme of Earthly Delights. To work with this project, I will be learning how to render designs in digital softwares that could be used for products in real life. This project will take eight weeks to complete. This project will be a mix of digital and physical work, therefore I will be using a combination of digital softwares including Procreate, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and a mix of watercolour, colour pencil, and alcohol-based marker.

    This SMART needs more of a purpose for your project - what is the aim of what you are going to do, who is it for? We discussed this in class and I suggest you edit this before I see you for your tutorial in Week 3.

    You should also post your initial research as soon as possible as well.

 I had a discussion with my tutor regarding the major project for sign off, and I was told to continue on the project. I was further told to research on topics related to my theme, such as logo and enamel pin designs in real life use from charities or companies, and to attend to an Abstract Art workshop in Week 5 as I had planned to use abstraction techniques in designing my work. The details of the sign off can be found in the link below. Link to Sign Off Sheet  I went on to fill the details of the Major Project Plan as required. The details can be found in the link below. Link to Major Project Plan After this post I intend to do the following: Research on given artists Join workshops required (Abstraction and Composition) Develop sketches according to workshops joined Do material research: practice on abstraction techniques and materials, set up of magazines and logos Practice mockup techniques for magazines and enamel pins And to create final work through these processes.

End Term 1: Reflection Post

-
With this term, I have tried out many different projects, of some I liked and some I hated. I had initially struggled in the beginning; I have never tried out photography or any related projects, however as I progressed, I believe I have gotten more efficient in researching for my works and analysing how to better attract the audience I am aiming form. However, I feel like I was poor with time management, therefore affecting the quality of my works. This class was quite stressful in some ways, pushing my limits and boundaries, however I feel like I improved in the end.

Further Artist Research: Fluid Art and Emma Lindström

 Fluid art, also known as acrylic paint pouring and flow art, has been an art technique that has been rising in popularity due to its simplistic way of creating with  stunning result. It is made using acrylic paints, of which are usually soft body acrylics (thinner acrylic paints) or acrylic ink as they are already in liquid (or close to liquid) form, mixed to a pouring medium. Depending on the type of medium, it can create different effects such as having a layer of ‘coating’ or giving. A watercolour-like look. Pouring different pigments of acrylic pours give it interesting textures and patterns, making it one of techniques used in abstract art. As McGorlick-Appelman (2020) says, fluid art techniques are used to ‘ create gliding organic and hypnotic free flowing abstract compositions ’. Emma Lindström, n.d.,   AYIIHLA 2  More medium can be added onto the base mixture to create additional abstract patterns. Silicone oils can be added into the mixture or dropped on top of the work to cr
