Research inspiration :

Most of the work that I went to see was just simply to inspire me to get on with my own work while I work through my own art block, even if I didn’t find exactly anything that relates to this project and what I’ve chosen to do with it, it was still a really nice experience to go visit other people’s work who are possible in the same age group as me.

Some of my favourite pieces I saw :

My take on one of the pieces in acrylic paint :

I decided to recreate one of the pieces i found while looking around at the art to exercise my freehand painting skills.

It got me thinking of how ‘congested’ this pieces makes me feel due to all the lines overlapping one another.

Although, i don’t think my work will follow in this direction because i would like to add more detail and complexity to metaphoorically convey the words i chose.

This piece in particular really spoke to me in terms of its aesthetics and the way this student chose to create this piece representing the ‘Peach’ using techniques of brush strokes and colours I’d never seen anyone use before.

More process pieces from the exhibition :

These journal/notebook notes and way of documenting progress in ones work/project journey really remind me of what I used to do myself when tackling a task and I wan to go back to this kind of way of working hoping it will motivate me to do more independent work moving forward.
