People writing thoughts - Collection FMP

 Getting people to write their thoughts is a challenge

It's hard relying on people to do this part for me. I just have to be patient with the process and trust in the people I have selected. I will find something else to work on while I wait like the way my piece is going to look.

I have received some thoughts from a few people and I have found that some of them are better at writing their thoughts than others. In future I will explain my goals more clearly to any group of people that I work with making sure they understand. I will also chose a random sampling of people instead of just choosing people I know.

Below are some thoughts I have so far written by a couple of people that are great at expressing themselves-

1) We now live in a time where social media dominates various areas of our lives. This is raising the next generation which is a scary state of affairs

2) With this new law that's being proposed I need to get all of my kids driving!. Once this bill has been approved it will be a bloody nightmare for them Kmt!. Why is this woman pushing for so much drastic change?. So every kid must have to suffer because her kid lied to her?!?! But that's not mine nor anyone else's fault tho!!!

3) Anticipation and the anxiousness of pain. Is it mind over matter? Is our subconscious mind so powerful that we possess the ability to think ourselves into or out of pain? If so, how do we tap and unlock that magical part of our brain?

4) Can our imagination become our reality? You are what you think you are they say. Mind-traveling wonders exceed vacations of the highest class, and riches unmeasurable. But reality shows a very different picture. Is it trickery to make ourselves believe pain doesn't exist? Or are we naive in believing it does?

Critical Studies Research with Tom

  Art vs Design Ballpoint pen and Paintbrush Art is something that I believe doesn't need a purpose to exist whereas design needs a purpose to function. The ballpoint pen on the left is designed for the purpose of writing. Whereas the paintbrush is for creating art. The brush itself did have to be designed for a function but what it's made for doesn't have a purpose, which is ok .  Calligraphy is the art of writing letters with a paintbrush whereas a ballpoint pen is also to write letters but in a simple non-artistic way. Authorship Auerbach and  Robert Stadler This drawing by Auerbach interests me due to its expressive movements and marks. It reminds me of an 80s video by the pop group Aha ‘Take on Me’. It is very expressive and lacks details in terms of accuracy. I can imagine the artist making this drawing and visualising his arm moving in my head as if I were making the drawing myself. It also has a darker side to it. I think this is because the charcoal he uses, it

Professional Practice 1-6 Talks

Professional Practice Talk Talk 1 - Tom Hackett It was really interesting how Tom took us on a journey through his work. The first thing up on the screen was his CV, which started off as a list format and then spiralled on a journey of organised chaos that he navigated us through. I found Tom's work and journey really inspiring. Like the huge hand-knitted coloured net that covered the building above. "You have to go to the world.... The world won't go to you" I really like this quote above from Tom because as a working artist, you have to push hard and grow a thick skin to get your work out there. Along the way, you will hear a lot of no's. Tom is a successful artist, not just from his skill as a creator alone but because of his can do attitude and his likeable personality. An example of how Tom goes above and beyond was when he stayed awake on a small rowing boat for 24 hours. He collected water samples from along the river Severn in Worcester to then create this

Final Development for Portrait Project 'Torn Emotions'

Final video of Torn Emotions for Portrait   I decided to change the music for my short video using Artist Cleo Sol- Myself. I feel that the lyrics work with this piece giving the viewer hope if you are going through a troubling time. I was unfortunate on this day of recording to not have a beautiful sunny day so I created my own light in the background to recreate a sunny day as I wanted to get that sun ray effect on the video. I attached an A3 piece of acetate to the back of my piece and then I further stitched on top to connect my images all together. This was to correct where I removed the stitching on acetate I didn't like.
