28th February Project Proposal

On Tuesday 28th February, I continued to complete my final project proposal and bibliography with accurate Harvard referencing and research. The workshop allowed me to complete section 3 of my project proposal which explores on-going and final evaluation I will be generating throughout the project. Also, the workshop allowed me to continue to generate my research through books obtained at the library and gallery visits I will be exploring. It has allowed me to identify my artists research and the primary research obtained through my trip to New York City. Through the workshop, I have continued to work through my sketchbook and generate further pages through building up a variety of surface backgrounds and colour. It has allowed me to build up emphasis of my primary research taken from my visit and using a photocopier to generate engaging pages and identify areas which are most inspiring. The task has allowed us to use critical and contextual perspectives to prepare for the project proposal. Also, the task has allowed us to use analysis and evaluation to prepare and organise my project proposal.

To start the task I discovered a problem with my Harvard Referencing which was that the sources stated weren't in subject order of books, websites and videos. To solve the problem I edited the bibliography and placed them back in alphabetical order to achieve the accurate outcome. Through my Harvard referencing I included further books generated from my research to the library which explores the works of Grayson Perry and Andy Warhol. Once the bibliography was generated I continued to edit section 3 of my project which identifies my evaluation and on-going reflection. This allowed me to demonstrate my understanding of reflection and how it will contribute to my project outcomes. Through section 3 I highlighted ongoing reflection through blogs which will include photographs, videos and links. Annotation will be on-going and reflects the choice of media used, opinions and how it will contribute towards my outcome. A journal will be used to reflect my research and visits which has already been developed from my visit to New York. Analysis will be highlighted through my sampling and technical file for my specialised area of Textiles. For final reflection I will be completing a final evaluation summarising the whole project and my outcome of my final piece. I was pleased with my section 3 outcome and decided to work back into my research. I decided to explore the theme of industry through my research of Grand Central station. The attraction holds strong architecture and striking colours of wealth but continues to support industry through the transport of trains and subways. To reflect my interpretation I created a mirrored and symmetrical layout filled with collage and postcards collected from my visit. Also, I used golden paper surfaces generated to reinforce the idea of "wealth" and the theme of "Art Deco" that was demonstrated. I used a photocopier to generate the mirrored pattern and built the page within my sketchbook. The outcome is presented below.

Next I am going to complete my timetable for the project proposal as I was unable to complete it within the time given. Also, I am going to complete my sketchbook page and start to generate research sheets emphasising my theme and areas that inspire me the most.
