Tired dot com

A bit behind in this week’s blogging, but it’s been a busy week. Meeting artists exchanging links, I would say good week of networking.

But let’s put all in order.

 

VISUAL STUDIES

Oh boy, there is a progress, but not a lot. Surprisingly I’m moved from itro up till 1920`s, so cubism, futurism and Russian revolution is main characters in era as this.

I can honestly say this is still the hardest task from all I have this year. I always wanted to write a book, but in my own time. This feels rushed and subject, well I’m not a historian and its difficult. I do understand why we been given this work. It is a good learning material as you go along the decades, discover more and more there is. For example, I never know that there is two Futurism movements – one from Italy originally and one in Russia, a bit different and time wise shorter, but still.

I’m exploring more abstract art development and now, decade I’m at, there is practically everything abstract.

My work is not progressing very fast, as the only time I can do some work is when I’m back from gallery in evenings. My tired brains at that point is slightly malfunctional.

Tutors always say, how can you reflect on that, how can you improve and make it better. Well my only option is having more hours in the day.

STUDY SKILLS

Health and Safety – there is always regulations regarding that, where ever we go, whatever we do. In the class we discussed that, which continued at home drawing parallels with our success story person. 

Well as I mentioned in my other blog, not sure if there was any health and safety regulations in renaissance Italy. By the way UK was first to announce anything like that after industrial revolution success.

Personally, I think UK is a bit over with all regulations and laws, as any other country I seen before. Sometimes there is common sense in place and would not need so much descriptive material and guidelines, like on paint pots, do not eat, or rub your eyes, well obviously NO!! And there is rule for nearly every step you take, risk assessments, insurances, hazard warnings, a bit too much if you ask me, but well that’s how Britain works – every incident creates more rules and regulations.

FINE ART

Inspirational research I would call this week’s work, as mainly I was gaining information and also inspiration from meeting different kind of artists. Each one has they tips and story’s and it was very positive week. Thanks again to my gallery space as without it artist circle for me would be limited. So far, I have few links of possible locations, product printing ideas and I brought a staple gun!!!

I have also some ideas of what I want to achieve, but really there is need for a space as soon as.

Artesian craft markets seems like a good space -  thats, if there is still possibility of booking a space. 

I was working for home today, well from gallery as it’s my second home. Meeting some artists and brainstorming, so missed the college. Tomorrow I will go in to discuss all info I have so far with my team mates.

BOOKING A SPACE IS CRUCIAL, AT THIS POINT! Also it would help if we have deadline to work on.

As time is limited - there is possibility of speeding up our work, which in my case not even a plain canvas as I don’t have any canvas yet.

No any reflection upon illustration this week as my work mainly focused on pop up shop.
