Set Project: First thoughts

 In terms of delivering new experience into my progression route, we have to make a set of six 2D outcomes. I have to choose one of the three themes to go with. I picked the Purple Haze.

It is a comparison of words which makes me feel more natural than the rest of the themes. Even Earthly Delights does not sound that promising and proudly. One of my first thought about the determination of haze is mainly a time around sunset or sunrise. Nature defines an adorable range of colours, especially at these periods. When the sun is fighting with woods, houses, objects. But the reflection comes from the water, the air and clouds amaze me the most. There is no human interaction. Innocent and beauty.  

That is why I would like to lead this topic into a story. Because there is a requirement of 6 pictures, which I can include all in one long piece of paper. Professionally speaking, this will be a leporello. The examples I inserted below. Maybe there are no the best ones, but I would like to focus on the variety of solutions on how to arrange the card. The first one, contain different colours of ''blocks''. So it is a separated one. Most popular are usually photo leporello. Looks like an album, giving for occasions; such as a wedding.

The second is like an open artistic space. Never-ending imagination of the creator. The structure of folding cards makes it easier to tell a story. To emphasise the moment which has been taking a while. To change a mood in colours aspects; like based on measuring with accelerate to brighter tones. This piece of art is more cost-effective. It literally evokes the expressionism movement with a bit too blank space.

My project will take a viewer into the open space. Consisting of daily nature and balance. It will be a place like a forest, meadow, maybe different places in the world. Starting at dawn somewhere and skip into an aurora on freezing Iceland...

I have started thinking about the overall vibe. Not exactly with particular characters (if there will be any?) and the scenario. I shared with my thoughts, how I can present it and what. 

I am sure that it will be all done without computer programs. In this term also I am going to move with hand made outcomes. My materials and tools are limited to brushes and acrylic paints. Also, I will use pastel pencils if necessarily.

On the next post, I will deduct the inspirations and colour ranges of my project.

    A thoughtful post - you have some interesting ideas about how you will PRESENT your work rather than the content and how it connects to the theme. It seems you have jumped ahead a little - consider how you can express the theme in this way of presenting the work and what you actually want to say with the images. If you are looking at purple haze, start to research into what the colour means to you, to different cultures, different time periods, the kinds of emotions it makes you and others think about.

Art Portfolio Project: First update - The story

 When I took a look for the sign off sheet, it made me think about the story for my Leporello. I pointed out the initial ideas and spirit of the whole story.  It will not be act-playing roles, no dialogues. This six pieces story will take a viewer into a mysterious world of Native Americans.  I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want to present the culture and sense of spiritual world perceive by tributes eyes. I interested in the beliefs of this culture. I want to start explaining the background for the strip. Native Americans believed that all living things were watching over by guardian spirits. That could be; trees, wind, animals or people. Mostly, forces of nature.  Usually, the young boys were overcoming the ''journey'' to become a man. They believed that the guardian spirit, once fund, would bestow a special power on the boy and then, he would return to the tribe. Meaning of great spirit was a bit similar to be watched by an angel in the Christian religi...

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Set Project: Final 3D piece

 It is high time to show the final 3D outcome. I have been waiting for a sunny day to take a picture of Mr Kite. I found a perfect corner in the window ledge. I managed to find some white sheets for the ''session''. Unfortunately, they were curved and undulating and having no extra ones I tried to make it professional.  All this showcase is after Photoshop edit.  On those shoots I wanted to emphasise his posture. Nevertheless, it is still a bit stiff. Here I captured all his attributes in front of him. And one more, with his hands up. Which personally, I can compare them with gorilla's.  I took two pictures from different angles. In order to zoom in the portrait details. In addition, one from the front. I made a few mistakes regarding background preparation. I could glue or taped pages together to avoid the gaps. However, the software edit made a brighter impression, which is definitely an advantage.  Maybe a thicker paper and front light would reach a more prof...
