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.

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: Sketches and coming back to the first plan

In the last days, I concluded that I should focus on the reasons why I choose this topic and the style of this project. I think I started to be weak and not sure what I want to do. I think the reason is in a large number of researches. Same with techniques and artists to look at. I summarise that I am not capable to mix various inspirations at once. I came back to my first inspiration Anto van Hertbruggen. Because I always wanted to make art like that, no matter what's it gonna take. Here I will discuss the elements which I want to use to combine this pice in one. Here is the whole work with the background. As I mentioned before, I looked at how Anton work on his illustrations. He usually filling few sheets in drawings (as layers for one illustration).  First, I found a great view on google maps. I am interested in the territories of Canada and the northern landscape. The place is in Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife.  click I sketch this place on two sheets of paper. Then...

Welcome to my blog!

Tell me something about yourself:  I am a young artist studying IYZ Art&Design with Graphic Design BA, in De Montfort University. Live in the Leicester city centre. My pathway started since I have been influenced by a close family by Claude Monet’s works. Paintings made by my uncle’s hands were great copies. Those pieces of art have been surrounding me still. I have been studying at Art School in Bydgoszcz, were I gain helpful skills and workshop.  I would like to explore more possibilities to share my skills. The significant key of my artworks made by oil paints is the variously, including different textures and mediums. I’m sure that our expressions and feelings made us artists. In my artworks, I’m trying to take after my deep feelings of research and my inquisitiveness. Furthermore, I’m fascinated by the 50’s and 60’s century artists. Especially, Futurist artist like Boccioni, Silva, Gonzalez. Their appearance have been a tremendous impact on my art.  Claude Monet...
