Fine Art Week

At the start of the week I was very unsure about what we were supposed to be achieving, as I am very used to having a clear brief when I work as I am used to doing textiles were you are required to make a garment or garments for a client who has specific needs and requirements. Whereas in fine art I have learnt that fine artists create it all within their own ideas. I think the problem was that at the beginning I was thinking too much and I needed to simplify my ideas a bit. The powerpoints that we were shown on the friday I think would have been more useful on the tuesday as these slides really helped me understand the concept of what we were trying to create. I f I had been shown these they I would have probably understood tuesdays work more, but as it was I just saw it as drawing around random objects that did not click together and had no meaning. The photos above are tuesday the 11th September pieces.

However by friday I understood a lot more. This is because I had time to think about the metaphors in the lyrics we chose on monday and could have time to have thought about what objects would be effective to use. I especially planned a lot more with colour and composition and I think I created a very successful first piece. The second one would have been good also however I ran out of time to finish it so maybe next time I need to work quicker. The photos above are of my friday pieces, the top four are the metaphor from "Firework" by Katy Perry and the other four are photos of the unfinished piece which is "Puppet" by The Saturdays.
