Art Project: Feedback and improving works

Today in session, we have been focusing on constructive feedback.

Regarding yesterday's presentation about the Set Project, listeners were required to fill the feedback forms. I got some of those on dmu mail. 

The most repeating answers have a more informative character. Personally, I saw the shallow statements in which I cannot pick anything constructive. 

Digression...

This is a good effort to implement critical feedback. I wish I could get some of them. The truth is, that the works are not created only with self-criticism. There is a percentage efficiency that pulling us to think wider with external points of views. Other's people advises could be touching in some way. But the truth is, that most of us are selfish. When it comes to hearing criticism points, we can receive it as an injustice, but that is a part of infraction the comfort zone. 

People determinate their own raison d'être in some points. I just want to tolerate that and understand. I found out that they do not wish to change their minds. This leads to writing pleasantly comments on the feedback sheets. Maybe people find it rude, to write about the weakness of someone's project.

Besides that, I can start with another thing, which I experienced during collaborate project. Frankly, in that task, I have learned a lot. I needed to be understanding and open to new responses as I getting through the process. Sometimes I was impatient and I did not want to continue the work (because of criticism). I needed to take the rest of the collaboration, and with a new approach, continue the work. 

I must admit, I am not willing to cooperate when it comes to exchanging ideas. This time I have a completely different idea in the compartment to Francisco and Michaela. O the beginning we gather possible visualizations of the poster. The biggest problem is still with communication and convincing others of the rightness. I do not want to impose my convictions, but I notice the ignorance of my efforts. That has happened when we compared the sketches. Obviously, we have different perspectives. It befitted on walking cow. I only was unhappy with that image. I did not want to argue, because I should make only the cow appearance. But I introduced my idea, which was quickly rejected. I even started to sketch it out. If I could have more time, I would finish this on my own. 

The positive aspects of the cooperation task; was engagement (in terms of meeting the deadline). I was aware that I need to finish the cow first, to allow others to make their job. Like in the company. In the process, we used the term 'criticize thinking', which I found useful in some aspects. The biggest problem is still with communication and convincing others of the rightness. I do not want to impose my convictions, but I notice the ignorance of my efforts. In the end, I gave a free hand in terms of poster occurrence. 

I have difficulties with cooperation, but not with speaking one's mind.

    There is some good reflection here on your collaboration project, but would have liked to have heard more about what you are doing on the set project and the feedback you got on the presentation. Was it constructive, did it give you some new ideas and ways of thinking when developing and finalising your ideas?

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...
