Rationale
|
||
|
In this project I intend to create work that imbues and
evokes the raw emotion and atmosphere of India and my experience there. That
is the driving force behind the brief but print, patterns and paintings will
be carefully considered in order to do this. People, colour, pattern, detail,
emotion and the natural world will be important elements in this project.
I also want to focus on being experimental with my choice of
media and colour palettes during this project.
In my tags it will be under ‘Studio Brief 9’. It
started with my initial research and research trip in November, and will end
with the OUIL603 Module deadline. I will create a collection of prints,
photographs and other multimedia work based on the trip. Create a range of
books based on this (one for photographs, one for prints, one for line
drawings? Ranging in size/quantity of pages/format… could be really small one
for line drawings etc.). Or just create one big book filled with them all?
Perhaps both… the one large one could have all the originals, the others may
just be copies/digital printed vesions?

|
Themes / Subjects
|
||
|
People, pattern, colour, detail, emotion and the natural
world; based on my trip to Southern India, specifically Kerala and the Tamil
Nadu border but also using extraneous factors as influence for example the
photographer Steve McCurry.
|
||
|
Audience / Context
|
||
|
The audience will be anyone interested in India, art or
photography. The projects purpose will be to depict India through art and
different types of art will be created, for example prints, so anyone may be
the audience for this, someone not interested in India, but who loves
coconuts, may love the Indian coconut seller print.

|
RESEARCH ACTIVITY:
Do a range of drawings
|
Deadline
|
Feb - but continue
|
|
Details
Start creating a range of drawings, mainly focussing on line
drawings and thinking about form and negative space. Also think about not
relying on reference fully by perhaps turning the images into
cartoony/character based such as Quentin Blake style drawings- this will help
to imbue some emotion and atmosphere to the work.
|

|
RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Do a range of lino cuts, and print.
|
Deadline

Details
Start cutting and designing some lino prints. Then print!
Print on loose paper and be experimental with colours and media such as paper
stock with material stuck or sewn on.

RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Sewing/Embroidery
|
Deadline
|
Feb/March

Details
Buy some scraps or pieces of material, best off with Indian
material but if not it is not crucial. Then use sewing or embroidery to ‘draw’
