During the past three units, i have lacked the ability to
stop myself from pre-conceptions in terms of artist research. This is the main
progress i am hoping to take onto the next project, i need to become more able
to research before deciding how i am inspired, as opposed to using my
influences to choose artists. I feel i need to be able to comment on work i may
not connect with alongside the pieces i do. I will need to learn to produce
imagery and responses based on theory (contextual or other).
I have applied to study Arts and Wellbeing, in an attempt to gain experience leading towards a career in the community art sector, particularly art therapy. My interest in psychology has led most of my projects and i am intending on taking the word 'self' and using it as an approach for this project on to how others see themselves, as opposed to how i see myself (this led a lot of my previous briefs). My source materials will come from gallery and museum trips, artist research on feminist art and potentially some others less related so i don't close my options too much. I will do primary drawings and observations from these images.
As a start, I will be attempting to collect old family photographs which demonstrate my sisters and i. Its our experiences and how we have dealt with them that has shaped us into different characters and i find it very interesting. Its something that has a lot of personal depth for me and i am able to work my advantages with availability for research to well defined outcomes. However, i am not afraid to branch into a different angle on the brief if i feel the need to gain depth or substance which may come more from the media effects on the objectification of women than my own sisters and i.
I have previously explored a range of feminist artists and would like to continue my research from these, whilst asking peers and tutors and visiting museums and galleries to find new artists who i have yet to explore and discover. Hopefully these will influence and inspire maximum experimentation and outcomes.
