Kill Your Darlings……. and make new ones (Saturday April 20)

Using one or all of the rest of your prints, rework them to create a new piece of work based on the primary SEElab principles.

LIGHTSURFACECOLOURMARK

Things to consider:

  1. Composition
  2. Positive / negative space
  3. Quality of intentional mark
  4. Use of line
  5. Use of materials
  6. Which artists have influenced this work? There should be a minimum of three.
  7. Appropriate execution
  8. Appropriate installation. How the work is to be viewed / wall based, free standing?

The finished piece must reflect 12+ hours of independent work.

It can be 2D or 3D, and take the format of collage, drawing, painting, sewing…. think about the works and research you have made so far this semester. This has all been research that should inform your project.

Be thoughtful about your work. Document your progress

Today’s Plan

  • General Ideas
  • Researching artists

Wearable sculpture, armor like? Disrupts the human form. Some kind of interaction with light. Wide brim with cut-outs that cast shadows? Thinking about presentation and maybe setting up clamp lights.
