NO! 9 WEEKS LEFT.

Only 9 weeks left, going to fail this year again if I don't do something about it now. Anyhow I’m redoing my statement of intent. I know what I need to do and I’ve got a good picture of it in my head, if it works or not is another problem, but no time to worry about that, I just need to pass this term. Anyhow here is my tutorial write that solves alot of problems.
There will be allot of posts on here over the next 9 weeks so bob ......

Tutorial Write Up.

Problems:

• My work is not clear; the viewer does not see my attentions.
• I don’t quite fully know my own attentions.
• I judge my work aesthetically.
• I am drawn to these aesthetic qualities pattern, mark making, scale, lines, Shades and tone (light and dark) but my prints are too messy and distorted.
• My images are flat and static, no good if I want to create a sense of awe.
• I am more interested with my printmaking techniques, than meaning of my work.
• My film making has the sense of awe, has movement and an atmosphere my prints lack.
• My prints boarders are a problem, they need to exist beyond their boarder.
• Tiff feels I need to clarify my intentions; I can’t avoid politics, what is dystopia, why dystopia over utopia.
• Need to know self, what I want to create
• Need about what the viewer will get from my work

Solutions

• Clarify statement of intent
• Work out, write down- form intro to statement of intent, this is me, this is what I am about; move on to what viewer will get out of my work.
• Clarify what I want to do.
• State what I don’t want and what I do want.
• State that I am trying to create a sense of awe and fright, each piece should answer a question, intention, from statement of intent.
• What do I want the viewer to see?
• Focus more on the what the prints say, not the printing process
• Simplify my prints
• Remove boarders from my prints
• Add depth, awe and atmosphere to my prints
• I could solve problems by layering objects in prints without employing photographs.
• Use the film stills taken from my short film footage, recreate that look create in my film.
• Cover walls with prints of city, in micro and macrocosm.
• Each piece will depict one aspects of me, and answer one question from statement of intent, for example, size – insignifcatent, be watched, unseen wealth, power, and so on.
• Light-shade need get imagery clarified.
• Detail, add detail to my prints to create the above feelings. Example; a human figure against a towering skyscraper.
• Pattern, create a sense of endlessness using pattern, but break that pattern with detail.
• Create, print and present a city that answers the questions asked in my statement of intent (or depicting myself when in contact with my feelings towards the city, the future, sc fi fiction, music and IT).
