my original proposal

Now to read my original proposal,I found it almost...no totally changed.I'll analyse the differences in my evaluation final statement.

 End  Spree 
What can I do that I have not done before I attended in Foundation?
I have learned how to make a set of collection from research records in Assignment 3:Research, how to analyse it and deal with the information I have got, and how to display it in a organized way in Assignment 4:Mapping.Now I know how mono printing and screen printing work,and start to use water color on my works.
What do I want to theme my final main project and where the idea from?
During the research and works I have done, I have known many talent illustrator, their works have some common characters attracted me a lot, such as curves, streamline,contrast, metaphor, crazy imagination and strong emotion. These characters are my favourite elements that I want to add to my work.  And from my daily life, I recently love to listen a Japanese singer&musician called Ringo Shiina, lingo's hoarse voice and luxuriant instrument made me imagined a scene about a big festival in the end of the world, it really touched me, I feel thrilled to tremble when I imagined as it would come true. So my main project would theme as a spree of end.
What will I actually do and for what?
I really want to explore how the picture can impact people's mood, for better communicating with the audience. I am going to compare the differences from one information we have been told between vision and sound, because my idea is originally from the imagination inspired by music, I will do some research of usings of communication from picture and music. And for the ethereal part of my work, I need to have some research of Chinese traditional ink and wash.And I may use some luxuriant medieval Gothic style and romantic Rococo style to describe the festival.And for the end of the world I need find some artists with dark style. I may go to British Museum to find some historical and cultural information, And Westminster Palace is a good place to research, I may take some detailed photos and do research online. Mix the different cultures' elements in one piece of work is very important to be unique and creative. I will do some quick drafts inspired from the music, and fill the details with what I have researched. Then I may study some skills of painting, and I want to make a big scale work informed from the little drafts I have made, it needs me to research some artists' big work, analyse them and study how to range many small elements into one world.
How will I evaluate my work/trace the process?
Weekly self assessment: Have I done enough research and evidenced it? Have I done enough to complete my work in time? Remind myself that always try to develop it, if change a way to express what it would be?

sound shape and the plan for final piece

After I talked to Amanda,Frank and Rob,I realized I need to have a more clear formulation of work, personal feeling can hardly communicate to the open world,I need a system, the work I was doing is not organized, so from that point,I listed all the elements I need, and analyse the form of the music,so here are the sound shape I sumed up.








there are also some more like work drafts.

2D in space

and by defining the final theme of my work,I listed the sound shape of Jared who is the singer of "a beautiful lie",and recorded the whole song, analysed the from and divided it into several parts which you can also find the digital drafts in the "final piece"log.

2D pieces cluster add lyrics

lyrics by volume

analyse of the song

final climax's shape
Jared's voice shape

general attempt

I listened the music to Shiina Ringo,and made the work inspired by her music posted below.



ideas of branches

These are the ideas innovated by the branches, the sense of rhythm.






And I chose my favorite one to paint on the watercolor paper.




fail experiments

when I was thinking of making a painting work,I wanted to be different with ordinary painting, so I tried to make some texture, so I spend a whole day to make the plaster dissolve to water, which become a kind of very wet white mud, I paste it on watercolor paper, wanted to make some regular texture...but I failed.It's so hard to control the shape,I can only make the paper out of flatness...and the fail work is below.




final piece(canvas)

It's my real final piece to show in the exhibition, I took about a week to finish it, but the result seems not as good as I expected. I like some look in the middle of the process, but I messed up after over painting it with mixed water color and acrylic.
This is the process of my little draft before I start the big work.









And now here are the big work below!!
