Today I continue session with prototypes, I copied questions from learning zone and I will try to answer questions.
Does it work ?
-I drew the series of three landscapes showing Koszalin before, after and durning 1945. Before 1945 Koszalin was called Koslin. I drew the main buildings the town hall, the train station and the cathedral. Two of three of this buildings were completely destroyed and after 1945 people build new ones. I think my version of how its looked is work. I used an old photos and did some research about it, it’s not 1 to 1 copied image but the main idea is still there.
Does it look as you hoped?
-After these three small drawings I talked with my tutor and we decided to draw bigger version using willow charcoal. I made just one already and its still in progress but i can’t wait to see my finished version below i leaving the photo of charcoal drawing.
Is the design working as a whole?
-It’s not finished. But I can’t wait to see final results!
What was the process of making the design?
-First I made a panoramic frame, I also took a panoramic photo to see how its looks. Then I draw first lines using pencils, at the end I redraw everything by ink pens.
How long did take ?
-One drawing 1-2h. I spend a lot of time to thinking about composition and research of photos. I think in the final outcome I will have plan of the composition and photos and I have just to draw. But from the other hand I going to focus on details to looks more professional.
What materials/equipment will you need?
-I’m not sure yet, but I might drew it on canvas. So in this case I will need wooden frames, canvas, willow charcoal, pencils etc
Have you sourced this?
-Some materials like ink pens or willow charcoal I have got but other like for example canvas I could get from DMU.
What will it cost?
-It’s just costing my time and energy.
Which design do you like best?
-I think, its willow charcoal design, its still in progress but I have good expectations.
What would improve it?
-I would improve the details and time spend on it, but to be serious I have to menage my time.
Below I leaving my questions for tomorrow session for my focus group:
1.What do You think about composition?
2.What would you change in the composition, add something ,delete or move it?
3.Which medium I should use and which materials? For example paint or draw using ink pens/ willow charcoal? On which medium ,canvas or paper ?
4. Which colours I should use in my project?
5. Do you have any suggestions/ideas what would you change in my projects?
After class I spend some time to draw prototypes on A3 by the willow charcoal and results I leaving below:
Btw today my Tutor suggest me to look at this artist/photographer “Dmitri Baltermants” I can’t wait to start doing artist research in this term.
Moving on today durning Art Portfolio class we created the groups of three. I was in group with Ouways and Dyami. I showed to they my prototypes and talks about it, I also asked a few questions and listen their opinion and suggestions. Below I leaving the recorded file including our conversation and after I will add reflection to their feedback.
Focus group questions recorded file
I’m really appreciate feedback which I get back from Ouways and Dyami. This also reflected me to think about which colours and medium I will use. I like the idea to create one painting using acrylics paints the second using willow charcoal and third maybe by watercolour, or pencils. Another thing is medium, Ouways suggestion to do it on paper like we saw an example in last term showing story is also interesting. I will think about it and ask my Tutor what is his opinion and suggestions. The composition I leaving like is it, Ouways and Dyami agreed my thoughts about it, that’s mean I’m staying with 3 important buildings in my projects: the train station, the town hall and the cathedral. The train station and town hall were changed in these times so it will be interesting to see this changes durning that time. They also agreed my idea with different clothes and things like a horse caravan/tank/car on this paintings/drawings.
The sculptures: We talk about materials which I will use for my sculptures, Ouways and Dyami suggested me to create the flag using something more solid than fabric, its might be the mudrock, as a base I could use a wood which I make in woodwork shop. The models I will create by air drying clay and wire.
Their feedback gives me ideas and helped me avoid potential problem like a material for flag, helped me also and give inspiration ,ideas about how I could do it, about colours and mediums for my project.
You received some genuinely thoughtful feedback from your group - it is important that you think very carefully about how you use it and don't neglect the development of your design. Your tutorial sheet gives you a list of what you should be working on over the rest of Block Two - remember to review this and act on it.
