Interim ReviewProposal 1 &2

Primary ResearchMy primary research

gravitated towards the subject of war. It showed the side and effects of the citizens such Jewish town and the farmers being taken by ‘death.’

Hundertwasser, although not doing a proposal that looks like it has directly affected my work, I have been inspired by the circular shapes and fluid motion.

War PoemsThe poems I looked

into gave my work more substance and meaning being why each element was involved. I illustrated the poem that was my interpretation instead of analysis. The main points that stood out of these were:

o Gas masko Gas o Helplessness o “wagon” for the

dead bodies o Trench

representing growing life

o Senseso Hot and cold

colours & imagery

o Pointlessness o Many men

sacrificing

Observational Drawings

From the original gas mask I did one drawing. I did this in watercolours with mark making of biro over the top. This followed on from the other drawings in my book. I like the subtle tones of the watercolours although I wanted the tones to be done with the colour rather than the pen.

So, I was inspired by my Otto Dix artist inspired study. This led me to experiment with acrylic. I then got away from putting a black line round the shapes.

This became more expressive and although the pieces themselves aren’t great, they were leading somewhere with me changing and experimenting with a different element each experiment

Observational Drawings DEVELOPMENT

I carried on experiment from the original source of the gas mask. I looked at the

Colours: hot/ cold, light pink/ green, dark blacks/ brown/ grey Textures: tissue paper, smooth, bubble wrapSubject: gas mask, hand, wagon, trench, men marching
