Evaluation for snow board Project
Steps:
First I experimented with colours
·
I
made patterns from mono printing. I laid out 3 pieces of A4 paper on top of a large
piece of paper. The papers are next to each other. Use a roller and roll it on
the 3 paper, each with primary colour. The papers should be stuck on to the
large piece of paper. I placed a clean A4 paper on top of the red poster paint
that had been rolled on.rub then gently peel it off. This would create a wood
surface like structure. I then place it on top of the yellow and then the blur paint.
For the second experiment I placed a number (cut out) on the paint then place
the clean paper. On the paper, the number would be left blank and the
background would be shown in many different colours. Mono printing creates many
interesting textures and colours.
·
Then
I start to experiment on mark making by biro pen. I was planning about using
different type of mark making on the snow board but not with biro pen.
·
I
also cut out interesting structures of buildings, colours and interesting mark
makings from the magazine.
·
I
also want to include my name in front of the complicate background design I got
from the magazine. Si Scott was the biggest influence of creating the typeface.
First I made my name straight and with san serif. I then make the ends narrow,
similar to Si Scott’s work. I added
blades at the end to create that sharp and strong looks to name.
·
I
started looking at an artist called Kara walker. She is famous for the cut outs
she made in galleries. Kara works on negative and positive points by cut outs.
She creates illusion well. She makes me feel like she was telling me a story every
time I look at her work.
·
I
then start to look into cityscapes and start to practice drawing buildings with
perspective.
·
I
start to go out and do observational drawings from outside instead of making a
transcript from the magazines. I start to look in to the 3 main types of architectural
drawings: plan (Architectural building plan, floor plan, and site plan), elevation
and cross section.
·
I
gathered buildings that I’ve got from magazines, pictures I took, observational
and perspective drawings all into one A3 tracing paper(photo copy, shade in the
part you want to cut out, cut out shaded parts, stick the black sticky paper on
to white)
Final design
·
I
gathered the experiments I did and start to group them.
·
I
put the letters I made (my name) to join with the crazy textured background I got
from the magazine.
·
I
put the picture of a fashion theme eye with make up with the building I made.
·
The
front of the snow board would be my name in white and a thin black outline to
shape the letters up. With a contrast the background has crazy bright and bold colours.
The bamboo on top and bottom was added. It is black because I wanted it to look
invisible, but still joined to my name so the name wasn’t floating around. The
colours of the background are bright, bold and mainly in primary colours. I was
influenced by Gerrit Rietveld. He uses either tonal colours, bright and bold
colours or primary colours.
·
For
the other side of the snow board I try to make the colours as bright as the
other side so it would still look like it is the same board. The building is no
longer black and white but is painted in bright colours. You might wonder why
the mouth is still there? Wouldn’t it ruin the whole composition? The reason
why I still included the mouth is because I want to look at it and make my eyes
look around instead of looking out of the snow board. Because the eyes are
round and the building is angular it has that strong contrast from each other,
so I decided to put the mouth in.
·
I
like my work to show myself and who I am. My work is usually bright and full of
colour. Bright colours represent the happy and crazy side of me. I love art and
splashing bright colours and I’m sure it shows how much I like bright colours.
·
When
making
·
I
painted the snow board with acrylic paint because the paint is very thick and vibrant.
The problem I faced when painting the snow board is that I find it a little
difficult to blend the colour around the eye. When I applied paint around the
eye it was very thick and hard to be gentle with it compared to water colours.
Review
If I start this project
again I would switch the face the other side, because on this board I was busy
painting and drawing that I didn’t look if it was at the right way up. I would
also draw the lips differently, maybe by drawing it bigger and turned more on
the right. I would also like to blend the colours of the eye shadow a little
bit more and also more colour.
I like the
blending technique I used throughout the board. I made it clear what is in
front and what is behind.
