Summer term, WEEK 1:

Observations from last week:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• I realised that the foamboard can curve when pva glue mixed with water is applied
• Justification regarding my painting process; using small brushes to cover big areas – it is important for mark making in blending or fading of colour and the process happens by chance

When making the next 2 foamboard curves, I have come to appreciate and became more interested in the shape of the foamboard itself, perhaps because now I have used less of a methodical/practical materials to create the curve leading to experimenting with the curve differently

Foamboard no.1 – concave shape

Foamboard no.2 – similar to a wave shape, curved at both ends

Dimensions: A1 (59.4 x 84.1 cm)

For these, I’ve decided to use a black base – black, semi sheer fabric and 2 types of white fabric that I’ve used in the previous paintings to show directly (without showing each of the layers separately like in the previous paintings)  how the paint interacts with the particular 2 layers and in terms of colour – may use inverse colours on the black fabric

Installation idea: incoorporating dried flowers in the installation of the work/ in the final piece? [or life plants?]

Academic tutor studio notes:

• Scale: intension for actual installation – idea: piece of plastic coming onto the floor

• Tina Jenkins: paintings on plastic – looks like fabric >> liquefying paint layers

• Diagram of display  – make a small model using paintings done throughout the term (?) > combination of Ian Davenport, Tina Jenkins and myself (see Week 2 and 3 for more)
