Art Portfolio: Project development in the real world

 Today, we discussed the importance of presenting art in the real world. In previous post, I determined the aims of my project. As I reckon, I moved points about the universality of the target audience. Therefore I will try to stick with the expanded audience by the design of my drawings.

By writing this, I have a vision of two colourful pieces per page with indicated text. Everything will be tailored to grab attention. 

Therefore, I started sketching a sample of the strip. As you can see in the picture below I also sketched the visualisation of the page (page example). However, I think I will modify the number of ''blocks''. I would need to of them to insert lyrics. That gives two illustrations and two lyrics blocks.

In order to sketch a sample of the illustrated strip, I needed to listen to music. I chose the song Good morning. For me, it has a clear state of the ordinary worker's routine. And it tells a story of starting the day, about going to work, meeting a wife... In hence to explain background of the story ''It describes the boredom and unsatisfaction of being a normal person, living a normal life. Strangely, this actually foreshadows Lennon’s “househusband” period of the mid-70’s.''(Genius.com, 1967). However, he also recalled the corn flakes cereal commercial from 1965. Nevertheless, to not get confused, I started sketching the beginning of the song. It starts with shouting; Good morning! a few times in a row. What I indicated in the left corner in exaggerated form. To make it easier for visualisation, I paste a lyric:

Good morning, good morning

Good morning, good morning

Good morning ah

Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in

Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been

Nothing to do it's up to you

I've got nothing to say but it's OK

Good morning, good morning (...)

Going to work don't want to go feeling low down 

Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town (..)

I ended the verse on this stage because that was mostly the part of my illustration.
From the words which I heard, it mostly get into me the ''calling the wife'', which I placed in the centre. By finishing the strip with positive ''going to work''.

I am very sorry for bad light. Today is really cloudy.

Thanks to this task, I already know how to transit the action from the lyric, which I will surely develop on my project. I am only worried about the colouring, I meant to use watercolours. I care about this because in previous set project I wanted to paint by hand. Therefore, I assuming that the next post will be regarding watercolours.

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...

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 ...
