Group tutorial


The feedback from this tutorial was generally positive, but in relation to other people my project is progressing too slowly - I need to start putting together a more coherent essay plan. 

Where am I up to now? 
  • I have found a clear division between my practical and written project - that I feel will give a greater discussion in my written essay but still facilitate synthesis between the two projects. 
  • Written : a discussion between taste and objectivity in relation to artwork, what makes a good image? how do we see/look at things? Key theories :
    • Gestalt psychology, Rule of thirds, Golden ratio, Colour theory, Theories of Visual perception and compositional studies.
    • Theories in relation to subjectivity and taste (need to research!)
  • Practical : investigating whether my illustrations are best when made intuitively (as I have done up to now) or using these learnt theories and rules in relation to composition and colour. Possible practical outcomes:
    • A set of intuitively and non-intuitively made screen or mono prints. 
What do I need to do?
  • Continue researching, look at:
    • Kandinsky 
    • Philosophy of harmony 
    • Modernism 
  • Start putting together an essay plan and chapter structures. 
  • Start drawing/making in response to research.
