Art Portfolio 2: SMART Objective

-

Theme: Oceanic

S (Specific): Children’s book concept illustration pieces and 3D figures related to it
M (Measurable): Four illustrations and two 3D figures (children’s toy set)
A (Attainable): 8 weeks of work time
R (Results-Oriented): Work with creating and formatting illustrations to industry standards, work fluently in creating 3D works
T (Time-Bound): 8 weeks


I will be creating four concept illustration pieces and two 3D figures (children’s toy set) in relation to traditional Korean cultures related to the ‘Oceanic’ theme, specifically the Korean children’s story ‘Byeol Ju Bu Jeon’ (Hare’s Liver). I believed that this project would closely relate to my subject area and myself as not only would I attempt to integrate Korean fairytale into this project, therefore relating to my background, but children’s story is a common tradition and culture in Korea and many other countries, building a type of familiarity between the target market even if they may be come from different backgrounds. Furthermore, illustrations and interactive figures— toys, movies, games and similar experiences— play an important role in developing a child’s mind due to them being easily influenced from the basic senses and their interactivity while remaining close to the subject of Graphic Design (Illustration). 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, digital medium for the illustrations (may change as the project progresses) and traditional mediums for the 3D works to be specific, which will be done in the course of 8 weeks.

Art Portfolio 1: Sign Off and Major Project Plan

-
Image
 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
