Statement of Intent (Draft!)

I plan on having a young child on the left side of the frame who looks as if he is in the motion of running, he will be facing the right side of the frame and will be racing towards a larger or teenage version of himself. This teenage version will also be facing the right side of the frame and also running in the same direction as the child. The teenager will be in possession of items such as headphones/earphones, a cap, and a book, he will be placed in the middle of the frame, Next to the teenager will be an adult version of himself and he will look as if he is jogging or slowing down next to the rushing teenager. He will have a serene look on his face and he will also be facing the right of the frame. Next to him will be a senior man who has completely come to a halt and is just admiring nothing next to him as the frame stops there. I will create this artwork in water color as well as felt tip pen and pencil and I need a large roll of paper. The reason for me to create such a work is to express my feelings for the past, present, and future, all of which lead to something beyond each other. It shows that each major stage in life will lead to something big and new and will reveal new things to us that was limited in the past. As individuals we don't look back at the past unless as a reference as it does not define us anymore, we look to what we are doing now and if we are doing something productive and we look to the future only as something to hope for and look at as something to achieve. The past present and future all link together but what matters the most is being able to use each period of time properly.

Ideas and Details

I've created a mind map of what I'm going to create for my major work which will definitely support and justify my reasons for each chosen idea or medium I am going to use to create my work.It goes through each and every subject and many mediums that I have thought about and shows my strengths and weaknesses. Making a mind map really helped me find new things about what I could do for my major work as well as what type of methods I should use to approach what I'm going to create. Anime and manga are the best options I can relate to since I'm skilled in drawing those styles of art. Also drawing is definitely my strongest style so I decided to go with that as well. In previous years I haven't gotten to developing or improving skills other than drawing and I'm totally ready to use watercolors to create a magnificent piece of work or collection of works. Anime and manga have been used extensively throughout my work and that's why I don't want to let it go because it has been a large part in my life, it has helped me develop some of my best qualities and it really keeps me happy I suppose.

First Day of HSC

Today was the very first day of HSC. Scary, but still great just because I get to finish school in a years time. I'll also be able to express myself in anyway I want and make it applicable for marking! I have already started formulating idea's as to what I should make. I'm thinking of creating a large drawing of superheroes and it might be painted in watercolor depending on my skill in using water color for drawings. I've seen some beautiful works made in watercolor which really makes it amazing and I want to be able to do some extraordinary drawings for my last work in school. Here are some examples of what I want to be able to mimic:



Breath taking. That's all I can say really. I love these styles of work and really want to be able to make something as beautiful as these. The moment I laid eyes on this style I really got a good feeling about them and wanted to learn how to do them so I will and hopefully I can master it in time to create something incorporating it for my major work. I'm definitely going to have with this and that's why I chose Visual Arts as a subject in the first place. Thanks for reading! Laters
