I took a
small trip around Manchester before heading to Bristol the following day and
decided to take further photos of the perspective view looking out of an attic
room in Bristol. I took photos out of the attic room to show the perspective of
the different buildings and houses and how they can almost look like patterns
fitting into each other like jigsaw puzzles.
My tutorial
with Rhianna was very positive. On the Monday, they talked about my work. It
was identified that there is a very perspective feel to my work. I was also told
that my pattern reflective work of Manchester buildings is my strongest point,
and I should go on developing this. In addition, Rhianna told me that my work
could identify with a lot of collage work, if I was to mix some of my drawings
and paintings together and she said I should experiment with my body of work.
We talked about how my view of photographs could be from the perspective of a
worm’s eye view which involves looking at something below or from a low or
inferred position (the opposite of a bird’s eye view) who looking upwards
towards the building which identifies with my research into perspective. It was
discussed that there were nice, intricate lines in my work that I should
include elements from both the drawing and collage together on a large A3 piece
of paper to create something that is quite outlandish. Rhianna said that I
should identify with colour in my work and really research into a colour reference
that reflects back to some artists I take an interest in. It was talked about
in the tutorial group that I should look at an artist and lecturer teacher at
MMU called Simone Ridyard and to join her online sketching group on Facebook.
It was said that my work mirrors some of the concepts and style that Simone
uses, so I will make an effort to research her work more thoroughly.
For the
development of my research, I created a pinterest board of urban influences, so
that I could get an understanding of how urban influences can be expressed. I
looked at different artists and the ones that have inspired me for my
development work is Dario Moschette, Wayne Theibaud and Edward Hopper. These
artists all exhibit concepts of emotion and mood and that is very important in
my work as well. I went to an art exhibition called Return of the Rude Boy over
the summer at Somerset House In London and much of the photographers work was
very urban inspired and correlates with the urban style in which I am interested
in. http://uk.pinterest.com/amb1894/urban-influences/
