Hello! It’s second term at DMUIC. Today after the Christmas break I started a new module called “Art Portfolio”. Durning the break I visited Koszalin ,a small city in Poland near Baltic Sea. In that time I created a few tattoos on a skin using dotwork method. As crochet.co.uk state “ The dotwork tattoo style is created by inking a series of dots that come together to create the desired image. Highly versatile for full images, portraits, and particularly shading, artists often use dotwork for an element of a design that is otherwise done in a different style.” Dot tattoos are more accurate and that form of tattooing taking much more time than the “modern” method. I enjoy that time. I was inspired by other tattoo artist who are specialist in mandalas and geometric style. Dotwork is good for that type of tattoos. I leave one of my work below:
One of the artist which I inspired is Karolina Czaja who tattooing since 2004. Karolina is also my master friend and tattoo artist.
Today durning Art Portfolio class we did a photo similar to the old image/painting but renovated. So we created a group of three me ,Ramiz and Violeta. We chose an image which we used as a base and created new version of this image. We chose an image below:
After this we started collecting a fabric and an items. Than we moved on to creating a space.
We found a teapot.
We also found an empty bottle and a plastic fruits.
We used one of mannequins as a model
Then we started creating a photo area, we used desks ,chairs ,black fabrics as background etc.
Next we arrange space on the table.
This is our final outcome.
*Reflection
It was nice to work with Violeta and Ramiz, together we created nice group , everyone add something to this task and final effect want really well. Violeta start looking for items ,while me and Ramiz started creating a workplace. Ramiz have idea to use a mannequin as a model what was good becouse on an image was 4 people. Together we chose an image and went through this task with smile on face.
As a fine art I would like to learn about a wide range of making images and try a range of materials which sound exiting! In this term I would like to focus on developing my drawing and painting skills which could help me in tattooing. I would like to express myself and using “paints and paper” show what I have in my mind. I would like to experiment with various techniques and mediums to add myself to the artworks.
