Exploratory 2

For exploratory stage 2 we had to select one piece of work that we had completed in exploratory one and develop it further. We then had to consider and justify why we had chosen that piece by asking ourselves a variety of questions. I had a few options;

Collages

 

What interests me about this piece of work? I found the process of completing them enjoyable and it explores an interesting issue; real suffering and trivial issues. 

How could I develop it further? Turn them into screen prints, use typography (wooden letters), increase in scale

Could I use all the facilities? 2D and 3D? Not sure how I could develop it into 3D and therefore couldn't use all facilities. 

Pear 

 

What interests me about this piece of work? The process, colour, mark making and the form. 

What does it explore? The form of an object, curvature of the pear, the unique colours of the conference pear, light and shadows. 

How could I develop it further? Screenprint, linocut, wire sculpture, clay sculpture, wooden sculpture, increase it in scale, experiment with colour and texture, create a collage. I could use all facilities and explore 2D and 3D. 

Architectural space drawings

 

What interests me about these pieces of work? Use of mixed media, texture, colour, mark making, abstractly explores space and structure, use of light and dark. 

How could I develop one of them further? Create screen prints, linocuts, collages, increase them in size and create sculptures out of wood, wire, plastic and metal. For the piece on the right I could create a wooden frame with a wire net. 

Skeleton

 

What interests me about this piece of work? The subject - it explores the internal structure of the human form, the lack of colour and it's complexity. 

How could I develop it further? Screen prints, linocuts, wire sculpture, metal sculpture, wooden sculpture, collage, animation, digital media and more in depth drawings. It may take more time than the other options as it's a challenging subject. 

In the end I decided to develop my skeleton piece as I feel I could explore a lot of processes with it and the subject itself interests me. I also felt it would be the most challenging and interesting piece to develop.
