Art Portfolio 2: Tutorial and Sign Off

-
  To start the project, I have had my tutorial to further discuss on what I will be doing in this term. My tutor and I have discussed the contents of my project with the SMART Objective post I have uploaded, which now has minor revisions in phrasing to make my project more clear, and discussed some techniques and materials that I could use in my project.

  As this project will be working around children’s books and toys, it would be important to adjust my art styles to suit a child’s mind. Children tend to have shorter attention span and have to avoid intense stimuli (too bright colours, intense patterns, flashing and such) so a major factor to consider in this project is to create a straightforward and tame work. To do this, I will be researching into illustrators who have worked on children’s books and toy designs, followed by experimentation on which materials will be suitable in context of this project (Korean culture).

    Good to see this on here - your follow up posts could also be on the experimentations you are doing with the materials you are considering. There will be further opportunities in the skills week in Week 5.

 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
