Preparing wooden panels
Consulting the project with my tutor, we decided to paint 2D outcomes on wooden panels that I could make in the workshop, saving time and money rather than buying it online. After receiving the materials, the workshop tutor explained to me how to make them and the rest of the work I could make on my own. Firstly, I clamped the wooden planks in a vice and glued them together. Then I placed the surface and kept the weights on the top to ensure it won't come out. I kept them on for about half an hour and repeated the process 3 times more. I took the wooden panels for my painting to the studio to cover them with gesso and sand it. Listening to the advice, I bought the wet and dry sandpaper and sanded it several times when gesso dried and repeated the process 5 times.




Some comments on the updates:
ReplyDeleteIssues: you can use the spray room at DMU as I said to you in the studio
Skills: You have learnt about preparing canvases, layering colour, using different size brushes and marks to create interesting images and surfaces. Your work needs better reflection if you cannot understand what you have learnt so far this term.
The drawing at the end of this form is excellent - this is one of the strongest things you have made since starting at DMUIC. As I said earlier in the term you should have been developing this instead of trying to make your work look like Basquiat. Nevertheless, the work you have made for this project is good, needs resolution in Week 10, how you present it and how you justify the different parts of your project will need careful thought.
