Set Project: 3D project research

 Research on the series of 2D pieces was based on the futuristic era in dominance, however, the Naive art colour palette was stated within the assumptions.

Nevertheless, at this time I would like to base my 3D outcome on original figures from the movie Yellow Submarine. 

I already mentioned the importance of this movie in my project. This last piece is related to the book, actually on the song Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite!. This particular page has caught the features of the main character. Therefore, I wanted to make a figure of him. In my mind, I have imagined the look of him. 

By searching the web, I found the figures of The Beatles from this iconic animation. They were made in 1999/2000. For now, is really hard to buy them they are very rare. 

The Beatles figurine; John Lennon, McFarlane Toys, 1999

The company of those toys, McFarlane, made two series. I especially like the appliance of instruments and uniforms. This is a decorative style with matching colours, despite the diversity of roles; bulldog and band member. He is about 8 inches tall, the rest of the group has a monster in the set as well. However, this difference in roles matching. During my researches on 2D pieces, I found a lot of futuristic art conceptions with this palette. In my sculpture, I want to match colours on the same basis. 

The Beatles figurine; Ringo Starr, McFarlane Toys, 1999

On the other hand, Ringo has a strange posture with a twisted leg. For me, it is hard to define the source of stabilisation. In my piece, Mr Kite also appeared in dynamic posture, I will try my best to keep his balance. 
The series of these toys show the attribute of each one of the band and the bad character as well. This turns me to present my model with his attribute - hula hoop. Moreover, according to my assumptions, his left leg will by standing on the drum; which I intend to colour in contrasting colours.
I will take all those observations into my work. The research helped me understand the figures however made in 1999 but with a soul of 1967. This also should explain the ongoing interest in the old things. When in 1999 it was worth making a series of toys depicting the characters from the movie made 40 years earlier, there is still hope, that the target market not only depends on children and young adults. There is somewhere a bunch of fans who are looking for the products like this.

    Your ability to collect research is really good, would like to hear more about how this will impact on your 3D outcome.

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...
