which isn't really up to my high standards. This year I would like to focus more on symbolism, rather than drawing people and figures over and over again. My brainstorms have helped me to think about the different types of subject matter that I can play with this year, as well as different ways to look at broad themes. My mood board helped me to gain some inspiration and ideas about what I want to do this year, as well as showed me some interesting artist models. The three artists I have chosen are Frida Kahlo, Faith Ringgold and Jacqueline Fahey. I chose these artists because I like the colours and textures they all use, and they are things I may chose to emulate in my own artworks.
This year I am doing painting, because I like painting and I feel that it is my strongest field, and I learnt a lot last year in terms of technique and method. Last year I completed my art board and passed, I was particularly proud of the last two pieces on my board that were inspired by Jacqueline Fahey. However I wasn't so happy with anything else on my board, and only managed to pass with an achieved,

Lol I thought you weren't going to do figures ever again! these all have figures in them! Please don't fixate too much with grades as grades do not make you who you are. the pieces of work at the end of your portfolio were a bit magic and worth more than a grade.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to focus on your self as your muse? I think you should have a female muse somehow within your subject matter. Kahlo's was herself. Ringgold's was her cause and cultural displacement the 'slave woman' was a particular way of telling this story.
Jacqueline fahey focusses very much on woman as a role. worker, housewife etc. like she had a woman in mind for each of her works and used them as inspiration.
I wonder if it would be a useful exercise for you to develop your muse clearly, before you start. She cold be a pure invention, or not.
what do you think?
