    Talk about the textures and process you used and how they have helped you to develop your project outcomes. This is a really nice painting and demonstrates some of the skills you have built up over the past 8 weeks or so. Show off more!

Artist Research - Harry Simmonds

-

 Planning my project, I have been looking for artists who specialised in Ink drawings, and the one that kept my eye was Harry Simmonds. He is a British artist born in 1978 in Bristol. Most of his works present human bodies or portraits created in a very specific style. Simmonds created his own style of drawing by using ink and white acrylic paints on separate sheets. The techniques used in the drawings give a dynamic in its unusual form. 'Head of Mike 2'  89.5 x 70 cm approx. Ink and Acrylic on Paper. 'Head of George 1'  99.4 x 70 cm. Ink and Acrylic on Paper. During the research for my ink drawing, I decided to create my piece on separate A4 watercolour sheets like Harry Simmonds. Another interesting aspect of his works is the presented facial expressions. As my drawings will include many faces, I think Simmonds's works might be a great reference in finalising my piece.

 In creating my website, the inspiration gave me Josh Hernandez and Miles Johnston. Both got a visually clean, easy-to-read and minimalistic website to expose their artworks easily.  Josh Hernandez's Homepage website  Miles Johnston's Homepage website   The homepages of the artists are different. Hernandez's homepage website is based on minimalism. It includes on his homepage the contact page and social media. With a one-click or swap, we can see his portfolio or the information we may be interested in.

Josh Hernandez's shop page Miles Johnston's tutorials page Besides the basic information and portfolio, the artists include on their website shop/tutorial pages that the viewer may buy their tutorials, prints of their work or the orig...

First thoughts about major project

-

Which theme are you most drawn to and why? How do you think you can apply this theme to work  in your own subject area? What pops into your head first when considering this  project? Does it make you think of any particular artists  and/or designers? Seeing the three themes in the presentation, I decided to choose expressionism. Although the presented artworks made me consider Earthly delights as well.  Earthly delights seem easier in planning, although finalising the project might be more complicated than expressionism based on my ideas.  Considering this project, I decided to create paintings including many details and human bodies by using colours in dark tones. I haven't made the final decision about the theme of my project, but I'm considering sleep paralysis, lucid dreams or fear of crowds. In this project, I will be inspired by Salvador Dali, Harry Simmonds and Zdzislaw Beksinski.  Untitled, oil on fibreboard The Elephants (1948) Oil on canvas Head o...
