Statement Of Intent

Section 1

Throughout the exploratory stage I have learnt many new process’, all of which have helped me to understand which area of Art I want to specialise within. Before attending the course I knew the basics, drawing skills, painting, batik, the general knowledge of using photo shop and I had little experience with print. During the exploratory stage these skills have improved immensely and I feel as though I’ve learnt a high amount. Particularly in print, as this is where I lacked in experience.

The field trip Pembrokeshire I found to be a success I used the skills I have gained over the months and put them into use.

Section 2

Overall I decided to focus my studies within a fine art specialism, I came to this decision because I found that I prefer to use a broader range of processes and not just sticking to the one practise, fine art allows me to experiment more to my own success. This chosen area will lead me on to studying more in depth at hull university where I have applied for a BA hons in fine art, my future aspirations are currently un known but lie along the lines of furthering my practises’.

Section 3

For my personal confirmatory study I am going to be using my self as the beginning starter point of my project.  Anything I produce will be linked to the beginning point in some form, this relates to my chosen path way because I stated I want to use a broad range of process’ and experiment with a broader range of techniques also, this enables me to do so. To support my project I will be producing a blog with research in which will relate to my work and provide evidence of knowledge and understanding of my chosen area, the focus of study and it will include research to where I will be looking into depth at other artists work.

When I come to developing my ideas for a final outcome, I will do this by producing a sketchbook containing study sketches, a sketchbook created on a day to day basis, a page or 2 done daily, as a diary; this could include emotions, quotes, sketches, pictures, almost anything to do with what I feel should be documented about that day. I will also have a general sketchbook, as I have also produced throughout past projects. To help produce these I will be using physical resources such as a camera, computer and a tripod, but as my specialism is fine art, I do not know as to what exact resources I will need, so any that I use will be added to my weekly evaluation.

The types of media I wish to use consist of, print, 3D, mixed media, photography and possibly photo shop. Again as with my physical resources, if I use any other form of media, this will be stated in my weekly evaluation.

For my final outcome, although I do not currently know exactly what I wish to produce, I am going to try to produce an installation or a 3D piece, this is out of my comfort zone and I feel as though this is where I should be experimenting most, in areas that I’m not completely comfortable with to expand my skills in these areas.

To name a few I will be researching into, Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas, David Hockney and Cindy Sherman.

Section 4

Throughout the duration of this project I will be reviewing my work on a weekly basis, this will help enable me to see where I could be going wrong, if I’m following my time schedule and see where improvement is needed, doing this will help me in my future development as it gets me used to frequently evaluating my own work.
