Our brief was to complete a board for;
Artist Research
Observational Drawings
Experiments
Observational Photographs
However, on creating my boards and designing the layout I found that due to the striking nature and expressive marks my work was too over the top and actually detracted from the effectiveness of the boards to highlight the most important and strongest pieces of works and marks.
To counteract this and get stronger boards to present my work, I mixed up my photos, experiments and my observational drawings together to fit with similar themes, colours and tones - by doing this no one board was filled with tons of expressive marks, like my experiments board was previously. I also took the background away, leaving a white background. This was because my images were on white paper and I don't think it gave as much of a professional finish.
This was now a much better look for my boards, I feel it gives a strong finish and the images and observational drawings break up the abstract work and expressive marks so they're more striking and It also allows room for each piece of art to breath, allowing for annotation and to create works of art in spaces on the boards, so they can become a piece of art themselves.
The Final product of my boards, I feel, are very successful in displaying my progress so far and my understanding and matureness to my coursework. It shows my processes, techniques and my skills that I've improved on and have displayed in my art work so far.
