Evaluation project2




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 Scotts 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.
