TASK 2

Chosen Art Work:

Fig 1.1 Chosen art work.
https://manniartgallery.com/colbert-nourrice.html

Details: 

  • Name: Men Machine
  • Artist: Colbert Nourrice
  • Size: 150x200cm
  • Technique: Oil on canvas
There are also a few design principles in this design such as balance, unity, harmony and repetition.

Chosen Sketch:
A more zoomed into artwork focusing on time and movement. In this sketch I tried to show a part of a clock like form using a man as a hand and showing running, working and conversing along the different hours of the clock. All my extraction from the original artwork are shown in figure 2.2.

Fig 2.1 Extracting and composition.

Fig 2.2 The extraction.

Fig 2.3 Sketch 1 .

Progression:
I started creating the artwork using my extraction Fig 2.1 and sketch in Fig 2.3 in monochrome as previously decided this is shown in Fig 3.1.

Fig 3.1 Progress.

After finishing I decided to experiment a bit with the color red to symbolize blood, sweat and tears in work seen in Fig 3.2.

Fig 3.2 Color experimenting.

In the end I found the red not as fitting as expected and the white showed more emphasis due to light tone giving negative space.

Final Artwork:
Fig 4.1 Final artwork.
About Final:

This final artwork is supposed to represent my overall idea of the original artwork to show how man can be like a machine. From moving around like a machine, to working like a machine, to recharging. The circles in the center are supposed to represent a clock to prove the way we are most alike, a schedule. Man work on a schedule like machine.

In Fig 4.1 using white for the man I created emphasis on the man like figures, the use of the extracted cell pattern to create unity and contrast between mechanical features of the clock and organic features of the cells. The clock hand and figures also show movement. I also used different shading methods to create more contrast and depth.

FEEDBACK

Week 6 : Specific: Add progress and include more description.
General: Finish task 3

REFLECTION

Experience

This was the most interesting part of this module after obtaining information, observing art work, experimenting and ideating u can finally apply everything to the final idea.

Observations

Application is very important making sure the final piece has design principles, meaning and good composition.

Findings

I found out the importance of having meaning to your art as it goes hand in hand with design principles, I found out the importance of exploring even if they are not in the final idea and most important all design ideas need a reason.
