Busy times and deadlines PART II

Another week gone and more and more closer to end of my first year, cannot believe it.

I have a confession, this week was a bit relaxing, as I finished my unfinished pieces and more or less morally was preparing myself for writing part.

So far so good, everything under control.

VISUAL STUDIES

I’m in process of changing my book to report, last week I attend college only Thursday, so I miss that  now situation is a bit different, there has to be 4000 +/- words and no presentation, which is a bit sad as I wanted to do it.

At this point I’m confused, what exactly we need to do, and my plan is to make some draft and give it in for feedback.

Will see then if I get some more light on this confusion.

STUDY SKILLS 

We were given to read and find out more about public liability insurance and as I done that already - as I said is a quite relaxing week for me.

FINE ART

I have  finished my unfinished pieces, there is few add-ons and improvements to make, but over all its done.

At the beginning I had just an idea of one large painting. I made up a frame and stretched myself, but I had these small squares left from last year’s textile assignment, and they were really sitting doing nothing - as I didn’t think they any way good enough. So, at that point I decided I will add some small paintings to my large scale one, to make more of my art for pop up shop.

Texture was a key, but subject wasn’t found. My guidelines were more or less colours we all agree on. So, I started layering paper, found objects, sand, paint, till its sort of come into form of seasons, just like that.

Four seasons made sense. At the start we sort of thought about nature theme, like UNFINISHED SPRING – and I did want to create sort of nature, patterns into my texture, but four seasons just appeared, and it was hard for me to not fallow this path.

Winter came first. I had my family comments that is barely unfinished, and they absolutely right – I underestimated how hard for me will be to not to finish the piece.

I won’t get into details how and what I used, but you must see an idea and texture my artwork sort of followed. I tried to use a variety of mediums and found objects to make my pieces interesting.

I had to admit they are finished pieces and I even framed two – Winter and Spring. To still comply with my brief, I left other two without a frame. So, you can still sort of state that as u n f I n I s h e d work.

I understand why we have been given this assignment – “The Un finished” – has been taken in entirely new directions by modern society and artists. It is sort of fashion at the moment, but if you ask me, is any artwork is really 100% finished???

 I know from my own experience I would like to change and add something to may paintings all the time. Like with these squares. Year ago, they were quite satisfied pieces, this year they went under a paintbrush and become something else. If no one will desire to buy them, maybe they will have to change again.

Who knows? All uni is about learning and developing, making changes as we go along or stop and move on, to return sometimes after…

So, with this feeling behind it I present you my UNFINISHED pieces.

 WINTER AUTUMN SUMMER SPRING

I belive its possible to know which is which??

There is still big painting awaiting spotlight, but I will talk about it next week.
