Section 1: Review (approx 150 words)
Last year's Final Major Project was Freedom and I found this better than previous projects. It helped me realise different ways of working and allowed my artwork to interact with the community, which was a great opportunity. Freedom was more enjoyable than other projects due to the fact that I could take it where I wanted to; this was developed with the first project of Year 2 with The World Live In as this was another project I enjoyed and also seemed to be slightly more free reign due to the sketchbook work and choosing what to include. found the project from Shawlands School to be quite difficult, I feel more guidelines could have been included, although did enjoy it towards the end and it has helped me develop better social and working skills. With this project J am aiming to try and plan my time and experiment with different ways of working.
Section 2: Project Concept (approx 250 words)
I have chosen the theme of Arthurian Legends as it is something I hold close to myself and want to explore more deeply with my artwork. I have drawn this subject since was a child but stopped due to other projects, bringing it into my work once again is something t am very excited about. My idea is to look at the original and modern adaptations of the legend, for inspiration and research, but I am looking specifically at the TV series Merlin as this is the adaptation reiate to and enjoy the most. I will be taking the characters from the series and turning their trials and romances into movie posters, possibly a trilogy, based on a forties/fifties design. For research am planning on to look closely at the TV series and the character designs, the Imagine FX magazines, and books surrounding this theme. Proposed primary research is taking photographs of family members and friends and using this to help me draw and design the characters, along with photographs and observational drawings taken from museums such as Leeds Armouries, York and Nottingham Castle. want to look closely at artists such as Yvonne Gilbert and Osvaldo Venturi, and possibly use their styles in the film posters, particularly Venturi's style of bright colours and blocked out shapes. Proposed research for this is looking closely at his illustrations and paintings, art websites, blogs and maybe books on his work. Other artists may be looking at are Rene Peron, Luigi Martinati and Reynold Brown. Section 3: Evaluation (approx 100 words)
As time management is not my strong point, this wilt be a major aspect for me to focus on during this project in order to successfully complete it. To help with this I am going to write fists and targets to complete, and rnake a time management ptan. Another issue is being indecisive; the standard of work is there, I just need to try and look at each initial idea in good timing, pick one and try and stick with it, although I am aware ideas may change as the project progresses and develops. To evaluate my work throughout the project, will be keeping a blog and making annotations/notes in a notebook, in my sketchbook and on sheet work.
