Major Project Plan Update

-


 Below are some screenshots on the updated project plan sheet (purple sections). Although I did fall behind on the original timetable in some areas, I was able to complete most of the important actions I had to take within the plan. I have completed all the artist research I needed, joined and learned skills that was relevant to my final project and now only have to finish my work and do some follow up posts regarding some topics.

    This is clear and demonstrates that, as you say, you have mostly stuck to your original plan - although adding some further research near the deadline helps to show how your research and development has lead you to other artists/designers during this process.

Artist Research: Penny Siopis, ‘Warm Water Imaginaries’ and Abstraction

-
Image
   Penny Siopis is an multi-medium artist of Greek descent born and working in South Africa, representing issues ranging from the traumas of children in South Africa to global, political issues. She has worked with a range of mediums, from photography and films to paintings, but I am focusing on her painting series and her techniques, specifically her abstraction and fluid art.   For a long time, Siopis worked with concepts that were ‘beyond representation’ (South African History Organisation, n.d.)– personal representation, psychology, trauma and such– and integrating dynamic materials into her works as if to show the organic nature of such psychological issues. This may be especially due to her life in South Africa which had and still has several social issues, one of which being ‘Apartheid’ which is a type of racial segregation that happened in South Africa to South West Africa during 1948 to 1994 due to the all-white government. She specifically mentions this iss...

Icebreaker: Recreating an Artwork

-

 We began this term with an Icebreaker exercise which was a ‘Recreating an Artwork Challenge’, or the ‘Getty Museum Challenge’. This challenge, original idea created by Instagram user Tussen Kunst & Quarantine, was started by J. Paul Getty Museum as a way to keep people engaged with art during the lockdown. These recreations are done in homes and therefore often have limited resources, which means that people needed to be resourceful and creative with what they have. Barnes (2020) comments   ‘You'll be surprised at how faithful these recreations are—especially as people work with limited (and often precious) resources.’  People also have found ways to modernise old artworks, integrating modern messages, items and issues in their r e creations. Jacques-Louis David, Details from  The Death of Marat , Phaidon  Among the images given, my partner and I chose ‘The Death of Marat’ (1793) by Jacques-Louis David. This artwork depicts on the final moments of French re...

Artist Research: Odilon Redon’s ‘Buddha’

-
Image
 Odilon Redon had initially caught my interest for this research due to his significance as a symbolist artist working with abstract shapes and context, but further into my research I have learned that he was one of the first to introduce Buddhism– Buddha in himself more specifically– into the Western art environment. He was also iconic for his openness to different mediums and techniques, moving on from monochrome works to colour and integrating different art styles such as Japonism to his works.  Le Buddha, 1895  Like many of Redon’s other works, his first work of Buddha was a monochrome lithograph with an almost sinister look compared to many of Asian depictions of Buddha. This art style is dominant throughout his works in the 1870s to 1880s, where in the 1870s he was required to join the army to fight against the Franco-Prussian war. The war in itself must have been influential to his mindset and art of Redon, but the defeat and the chaos left behind by the war may ha...
