Art Portfolio: Experimentation task

 In this class, we have been concentrating on creativity and how to express ourselves.

Billy Schenck, Where the Law does not Prevail, (1996)

I have been searching for the right picture, for inspiration. I made a sketch basing on this painting. 

I picked this sketch because it was the only piece with a person. I wanted to evaluate that sketch. There is a lack of movement, which is like a monument. In general, is a bit blank, some kind of rapture. I can't feel the space, is soo linear without a shadow.
So I decided that it will be a perfect occasion to give one of my sketches more expression. 

I think that this piece is bolder than the previous attempt. I started the same as with the previous one. The difference was with the organisation space and direction lines. I solved the problem with shadows, blurring the pencil lines made a feeling of depth and motion. I could diverse this by adding a darker effect. 

The good points I made with pencil gestures, maybe overall it is too much. I wanted to focus on the horse, and how to improve the moment of running. Still, it is a bit frozen. But for this task we did not have much time, only thing was ''expression''. I hope I did it. 

I could also move the background to emphasise this expression.

    You had the chance to experiment with any materials in any way you wished - I think your story board is more experimental than the drawing you have published here. Whilst this is undoubtedly an interesting drawing, you are not really pushing the boundaries of your ability here - you have provided plenty of evidence during this term and last term of your ability to draw. Was there no other way of depicting this image in a more experimental way. It was also meant to have been an experimental version of one of the images you are working on for your project (one of your outcomes).

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...
