Crit - Monday 15th Oct

Before the crit on Monday I wrote down some notes that I thought would help me. The notes that I wrote are:

IDEAS;
- Watercolour dripped down pag, face drawn around and with the colour, using the colour from the watercolour to be part of the personality. Every trickle to represent a apart of a personality, showing that everyone is different, shown by the trickles and way the colour colides together to mix. This could be shown in 3-4 different pieces (all the same idea) so this then shows a theme for portrait and also psychology.

- Photograph traced by hand, little sister, big sister, psychology of the face, different within siblings, which parts of a siblings face is the same yet they can look so different (me and sister did iPhone face juggler app - swapping faces made no difference to how we look.. yet we look completely different in person.)

- Similar idea to 1. Using penil , lighter and more detialed where as I have done idea 1 more simple. - Could possibly combine the two, scan then into Mac and use Photoshop to enhance them and layer up. Similar tools and technique of my surf board project.

-Use a repeated pattern to create a face, using brush tool on Photoshop? Scanning something in that I have drawn to create this.

I have then gone on to choosing my ideas that I have favourited out of those. Suiting to what I feel I could make work and progress well with.

Ideas 1 &3

Using pen (fineliners) and a pencil to create face. Already started to create examples of what I would like to do.
Here are those examples:

NEXT:

I am going to make around 10 pages with watercolour drips on so I can choose what colour ways and patterns will work with certain people that I want to use with their personalties. 

Then after that I am going to do some research into the colour wheel and the feelings in colour so that I can get the colours and feelings right for every person. 

AFTER CRIT

Here are my notes after the crit with Sancha, Colin and the rest of my class.

Feedback on my idea that I have choosen to go with didn't go quite as well as I'd hoped. Although I think that it has helped me in getting some more ideas to push me forward but not loosing out on my idea too much.

Feedback that I got that stuck in my mind was that 'are the colour meanings universal? Will people looking at the article all think the same thing about the colours; Green - Envy, Jealousy and Red - Love, Romance but could also mean Anger which is kind of the opposite to what I might want it to represent.  I have taken these thoughts into consideration and I am going to do some different types of drawings and paintings to inspire me. 

More notes that I took during the crit:

- What is it that identifies people as the classical meaning of BEAUTIFUL? Does a doctor always look like a doctor? Does a teacher always look like a teacher? Does a persons face give away enough about the person? No, I don't think it does. Everyone is so quick to judge a person by looks. Everyone is guilty of this at some stage. (Kerry)

- What makes people class each other as attractive? Marilyn Monroe was classes as the most beautiful woman in the world, but she did not fit or match what is known to be classically beautiful. Her eyes didn't line up, her proportions of her features were slightly wrong, but she was still classed and very beautiful.

- Linking to Somerset house, you know what the piece could be able without reading or looking quickly and the piece of writing that goes with it. It has to be an image that could be a stand alone piece, so it can be complete. Need to develop my work to be able to live up to my concept.

- Look at Julien Opie - Blur Album Cover
