Part 1

Practice and Research

What are the projects?

Following on from Year 2, there are a few projects that were completed for Assignments, that I felt would merit further exploration and experimentation.

For Year 3, further research and visual exploration was planned for these assignments. The 3 projects would cover a multidisciplinary approach. Each would focus on something different and overlaps were expected. Photography, painting, sketching, and sound, mixed with variations on scale for project 3.

Project 1 – a short mixed media comic with a view to a larger project for Year 3.

Project 2 – a photography based short project.

Project 3 – mixed media project focused on scale and with a gallery exhibition aim.

The success of each project would be based on:

  1. a physical copy of a comic for project 1.
  2. a series of photos on project 2 with sound and visuals to support it.
  3. a collection of analog images, sketches, digital prints and sound to represent the project and immerse the viewer in the space, for project 3.

Research involved for Project 1

  1. A series of books related to the project.
  2. A number of audiobooks related to the era.
  3. A series of references for sketching
  4. A mood board and other reference boards created in Pinterest, to create the world.
  5. visits to galleries and museums for references.
  6. comics and graphic novels for insipration.

Research involved for Project 2

  1. watch youtube videos and take notes on the experiments
  2. gather references on other experiments done and how it was conducted
  3. instagram posts on artists past and present, interested in similar projects

Research involved for Project 3

  1. visiting the space and taking a range of photos
  2. revisiting the space at different times for a contract of photos and references
  3. create pencil sketches and digital sketches
  4. produce larger sketches and charcoal drawings
