Hey, here I am, my FMP stage,,, For everyone's info, FMP means final major project....
The class was given there brief, broken down in to 3 sections, to me the 1st section looks at our journey to were we currently are in our pathway/development with our chosen subject,,,
So far my blog outlines the facts, but to recap. and for possible new readers, here is a brief summary
"
Due to ill health, I discovered art as a way to occupy my time and as a form of therapy. I have spent time looking at different styles and topics. Since then I have become deeply inspired by art in all forms. Being someone who suffers from bi polar, I feel I see the world in a somewhat different way and I find designing art and developing my ideas and thoughts a great way to deal with some of my negative ideas as well as exploring my vivid imagination in what I see as a constructive way.
My Chosen pathway in 3d design stemmed from work undertaken prior to starting the course, when I was given the opportunity to experiment with Clay with a local Art charity
Over the Last 6 months I have developed some of my ideas which have all had an figurative aspect to them, This been a constant theme from work undertaken during the first few units as well as personnel reasoning, outlined above.
I also feel a number of my pieces I have created have also had a emphatically view to the cyclical nature of life in general.
When I first started the course my work, was very raw, basic yet comical, since I have been mentored and feel tht I have had the opportunity to explore my ideas in a way that is both aspectcle and at times abstract in nature, I guess in simple terms my art work has mature. I was also very poor at drawing yet, with the patience and coaching from my tutors this has developed in to an area which I now enjoy and feel I am competent in this area. I have also been given opportunity’s to experiment with different media, which I cannot say has always worked out, iy has still given me the skills to progress."
So what Do i plan for my final exhibition... Well i need to come up with to idea.. my main one being fragility ,,,, I believe this builds on past projects, which have focused on my thoughts so to speak, like sex, grandeur etc and if i am honest the world around me though the eyes of a bi polar suffer.. The other idea i have consider is the figurative aspect of humans, again this looks at my own feelings, fears etc...
Lots of ideas, but the one i would like to explore is the fragility one... bringing moods, both audio and visual a multi media installation.
I have been looking at various artist that appear to me to have used the idea of fragility and will discuss this artist in posts in the coming weeks.
the last days i have cast various faces. in various materials including my own and dolls. I can say i personally like everyone i have done, including the vacuum formed face, made from a plaster cast from my head..( thanks Karl) Although, i feel they do not put across the feeling of fragility, maybe the dolls head, but i feel they could raise question which are not reinvent to my point... i have also experiment with plaster, creating a bucket which pumps air in to the plaster as it sets, i have not completed this but i am hoping it will help me develop a method of making plaster look lighter, like an areo bar? hay it might not work,,,but it has lead me to thing of other ways of filling the plaster with air..
- bicarbonate soda
- yeast?
- more air pumped in to the cast
- soap?
so lots to explore there,
going back to my faces, now their are cast, i want again to make the appear fragile. options i am looking at are?
- Glass
- spun sugar
- silk n starch
- egg shells
- paper.
these are only in the developmental stage so due to the fact i am experimenting it could all change...
