Art year 13

This year I've chosen to do art design. I have chosen art design because last year I felt like a thrived and was surprisingly passionate about what I was designing. I hope to replicate the level of achievement I achieved last year.
The reason I feel I did so well last year was that I was passionate about the artwork I was doing. This pushed me to make my work at a high level. Something that didn't work so well last year was that I sat with people who I talked a lot to. Lucky for me there gone so this year that shouldn't be a problem.

After doing some brainstorms I've decided to design some advertisement for a horror movie. I decided to design this as I for some reason really like creating and making artwork around morbid topics.

Our teacher got us to make a mood board as well. She did this so that if we get stuck we can look back at artists we like for inspiration. From doing the mood I found out about Banksy his work is illegal and risky and complements his art style as his art is political.

Here is my board so far.

This month I have finished my logo. I worked my way up from the oringal logo I had and now am finished. I also did my poster. I am fully finished that swell. I am now working on two things. DVD or Blu Ray covers and my website.. My future plans will be to probs make a Netflix page or something idk tbh. What worked well is that I have gotten used to illustrator so I am very quick at drawing stuff on it. What is going bad is I am kinda behind in my work.

Art year 12

In Art Design I have chosen to create a clothing brand for tall people. This is cause I myself am Tall and find it hard to find designer clothing that fits me well.

I have created the brand “Timothy Carter” to give tall people a fashion choice. High fashion clothes usually only go up to XL and their measurements move wider rather than longer. Timothy Carter goes beyond that. Timothy Carter makes clothes from XL-XXXL where we also focus on length rather than width. Timothy Carters logo is a giraffe, the giraffe represents tall individuals place in society. The giraffe eats from the top of the tree while other animals eat from the bottom. Our story changes the normal narrative and shows tall people as being higher up in society; from our view we have the upper hand


In my work I want to focus on using artists such as Alexandro Michelle, Barbara Kruger, Bansky & William Wegman to help inspire my work. There artworks are all unique and out of the ordinary, this works well with what my brand is as tall people aren't normal. They stick out like a sore thumb, which these artists work do as well. 

I would like to focus of William Wegman and Barbara Kruger mainly as I find there work fascinating. Both there works are simple but express a lot about society at the same time.

Although William Wegman usually focuses on dog heads on human body’s, I would use different types of animals such as a Giraffe obviously and even other types of animals. With Barba Kruger her style will be the way I would be able to make statements. The most frequent statements used in my work usually are “Who the fuck is Timothy Carter”, “ For tall people” and אמונה but its flipped upside down.  This fits well with Kruger's work as her work isn't censored and makes bold statements.

My work compared to William Wegman is close in identity. With my work I'm attempting to make a statement on the royal family. By placing the animal head on the queen I'm trying to show how no matter how high up the ladder you are in society we are all animals who will do anything for money, power and fame. I feel like William Wegman is trying to make the same statement by saying that we are just as valuable as anyone as low in society as dogs. Both are works are also quite playful and are not taking anything very serious. 

This is one of first artworks. Although it has no resemblance to Barbra Kruger it does take inspiration from William Wegman

Bio:

In the 2008 Presidential Election Shepard Fairey created the iconic poster of Barack Obama. On this iconic poster are written the words “Hope”. This is bold and nearly impossible to miss. It’s there to support Obama’s Promise of Equality to African Americans and other cultures and ethnicity living in America, showing them that there is still “Hope” for them to be treated equally and fairy. 

Shepard created the design and printed it in one day. He originally printed around 290 which he sold of the street immediately.  From there it then was distributed digitally and physically. Due to the popularity of the image Shepard independently but with the legal approval of Obama’s representation the poster was advertised and grew in popularity becoming one of the most recognized and well known symbolises of Obama’s campaign. 

Media:

Shepard usually builds and creates his artworks with spray paint. To get the effect given in pieces like “Hope” using cardboards cutouts which he then carves into pieces kind of like a puzzle. He then spray paints around the cardboard. This is how he gets pierces colours in his works. After he has spray painted he sometimes goes over his work with stencils and charcoal just to make the work pop out more with shadows and outlines.

Artist: Banksy

Date of creation of artwork : sometime in 2002 (unknown)

Bio :

In 2002 Banksy spray painted one of the most iconic and most valuable artworks ever. In this 

piece it displays a girl losing a balloon in the wind. This is to represent hope. The piece definitely took inspiration from the red girl in schindler's list. The piece was done overnight on the waterloo bridge. It was done overnight so banksy could stay anonymous.

Media : 

The painting is done using a stencil on concrete. Banksy used stencil to give off what looks like a very realistic effect. The way the stencil was used makes the girl look kinda getting sunlight shone onto her. This just gives off a really gritty vibe to the picture and reminds me of industrial stuff. 

I choose to do a clothing brand as clothing is something I am passionate about. I choose a giraffe as my logo as giraffes are also very tall and that's the target audience I was going for. I was quickly inspired by brands such a supreme and Gucci which I implemented into my designs.

These are especially noticeable in my posters as have the Supreme box famously used and created by Barbra Kruger. I also have loads of implementations inspired by Gucci clothing and advertisement. 

In my clothing I made sure to make basketball the almost cryptic theme. I did this by repeating the phrase “Who the f*ck is Timothy Carter” and  אמונה which is usually flipped upside down to keep the cryptic feel. It means faith with goes back to my christian roots. It is in Hebrew which is the original language of the bible.

With my clothing tags at first I was going to do a real complicated tag. However I tried cutting this out in real life and came to the conclusion something more simple would be way easier and better. That's why my last design is a giraffe as the stand out but aren't overly complicated.

My app and website are both very simple. I didn't want to go overboard with them as the sites I took inspiration from ( Bape, Supreme & Gucci ) all were very simple and easy to use. I tried to replicate this with both my website and my app and both came out looking pretty cool.

My Board represents the themes that I wanted immensely and in my opinion holds some of my best work.

Here is the final product.

Art Year 11

We are working on a brainstorm. We are doing a brainstorm on themes that we like or that represent us.
This will also help us understand why we are doing what we are doing.

Jacob van Walscapelle

Here are 3 pictures I like by this artists. I like these pictures cause there unique. They also have a lot of detail.

Claude Lorrain

These are cool to cause they look really real.

Derek Boshier

I like these ones cause there very unique in the sense that I have no idea what these are.

Today in Art I planned out my polio plan.

June 27 2018 Art

In my artwork, I have chosen to "Everything happens for a reason" as my topic. This means that all though something might seem annoying, rough or out of place that everything will work out right.

I have chosen to choose this topic because I believe in Christianity which also is based around
“Everything happening for a reason”.
This also means a lot to me because it helps me get through tough or awkward situations
in
my life cause I know that in the end, everything will turn out okay.
I also wanted to do this because I thought this could be a pretty challenging topic to represent through my artwork.

I am going to represent this through my work by creating stories around characters which are obvious in
the picture and which hint at or represent the butterfly effect or Christianity.
The artist models I am looking at are Roy Lichtenstein, Bill Watterson, Takashi Murakami.
I also take inspiration from cartoon shows such as The Simpsons, The Flintstones , Rick and Morty,
Johnny Bravo and the Rugrats.
These cartoons show styles really inspired me through my childhood and today and are something I
want to represent in my artwork to show through.

My next step for this picture is to color it in and make the rocket ship stream stand out.

My next for this is laying out my folio and seeing where and if it fits in.

At the start of the year I started planning like what my artwork was going to look like and how everything was going to fit in with each other.

In April I started expriementing with diffrent types of art styles. I wanted to go for a cartoony but dark kinda vibe ( thats why I experimented with Manga.)

In July I was working on this peice of art. I wanted to have a smile drawn onto the mirror to show how she's mentally unstable and for some reason it kind of reminded me of the scream by Edvard Munch  which also inspired alot of my other artworks.

 Then in the closing months I put all my drawings , paintings and everything together and I realised I needed one more painting. As you can see by the pictures I drew this plane captain guy which I was inspired by Cartoons like Bro Town for some weird reason.
