-I DON'T KNOW WHICH WEEK THIS IS REVIEW-


Here is what I've been up to for the past 6 weeks:

  • I have produced several pages in my sketchbook(s) and have created a few pieces inspired by my artists work. Specifically, I have done many spin paintings using different mediums inspired by Damien Hirst.
  • I have been focusing on optimising my blog as much as possible, to the point where I can produce art through my blog posts as much as I can my sketchbook. I feel that this personal approach to my blog will keep me motivated to work. I've found that organising my pictures in Krita (the free equivalent of photoshop) and saving that as a JPEG with a white background completely eliminates the frustration of organising my pictures in Blogger directly, which was a MASSIVE hindrance to my work flow during first year. Also producing little illustrations, GIFs and videos have proved to be very helpful and fulfilling to complete, switching between these mediums provides many avenues of experimentation so as to most effectively show my creative process. I've never been so pleased with my blog, honestly.
  • I have displayed collected items from trips and pictures in my art folder and have updated my blog accordingly. Through the use of Krita, I've been able to layout these pages similarly which allows me to provide consistency to make both my blog and sketchbooks clearly link, which is very satisfying.

DAMIEN HIRST ARTIST RESEARCH

Damien Hirst "Is Mr Death In?" Damien Hirst by Jonathan Yeo Early Life Damien Steven Hirst is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector born 7th June 1965 in Bristol, but later moved to London. He grew up with his mother (and Stepfather from the age of 2-10) who was Irish Catholic and stated that she 'lost control' of her son when he was young. Hirst was arrested twice for shoplifting although he would say that his mother wouldn't tolerate rebellion. His mother was also artistic but dropped art because she didn't like her teacher-so when Hirst showed a love for drawing she was very encouraging. He attended Allerton Grange School and also the school sixth form-achieving an E-grade in A Level Art. He then applied to Jacob Kramer School of Art and was initially refused a place but was successful in getting a place on the foundation art course. During this time, Hirst visited a Gallery displaying work by Francis Davidson, which Hirst has...

-WEEK 2 REVIEW-

This week, I have... Completed an artist research page on Joseph Cornell in my sketchbook and then on my blog in further detail. In my sketchbook I was able to create borders and use cardboard to implement the 3D aspect of his work, as well as layering materials in a similar way that he would have. For continuity I completed a sketch of the artist as I had on my Hirst page, but used fine liner more predominantly and used less graffic marks to reflect the overall crisp aesthetic of his work. On my blog I implemented what I had learned last week about creating vectors (and exporting them as jpeg files instead of organising them in blogger where the layout is more finicky) to create a title for the page which I found to work quite well. While this technique works well I found I couldn't implement a border to reflect the boxes Cornell uses in his work as I had in my sketchbook. This is something I would like to continue experimenting with. A friend and I went into Nuneaton Art Gal...
