My Semester 2 Intentions

For semester 2 I plan to carry on with my existing project idea but develop it further, leaving parts behind that didn't work as well as others and continuing on working from successful ones. I plan to carry on working mixed-media and get back in to printmaking but also develop my work in to sculpture too which I have started to dabble with but on a very small scale. In my first year I created a 3D bird out of straws that gave it a very geometric structure. I want to try this method out again but working with bigger animals such as sharks and try displaying them in different public places. I am interested in contrasts that I can create in my work and one I haven't really tried is a contradiction between the material and the context. I think that creating natural animal forms from man-made materials such as plastic and potentially making a very synthetic structure might be a good direction for my work so I want to experiment with this as a starting point.

I also plan to carry on with the full scale animals like my previous bears and working with collage as I have found it a useful working method for me to get down ideas.

To improve from last semester I am going to improve my knowledge around the subject area by doing more research and reading about relevant artists, themes and contexts appropriate to my work.

I am going to keep trying out new materials and experiment with styles and keep on track more of documenting my work and research in order to learn further from.
