Freedom fmp evaluation

With the fmp project we had to base the project on freedom and link it too the magma Carta and its 63 pages through our interests and how we view freedom. I started off with the theme of punk rock music and how the genre of music is not really seen as a way of freedom where as really it is, just through looking different and acting different as well as adding quotes from famous punk rockers such as kurt kobain. As i went into the theme a little more i realised i had hit a dead end and had to re-think my theme and some how tie it in with punk rock, so i went down the route of education and how young people use thier education to achieve thier freedom in the world of work and adult life as well as how the older generation and how they view the younger generation as being a waste of time and how some will never achieve thier freedom with the way they use education. For my research i looked up news articles and how the media had heard from both the younger and older generation on how they view each other, then for more research i went and took some photos of barnsley town centre and of people that were both older and younger and how they used thier time. My main influences for my final piece and other pieces was the work of the artist robert rauschenburg and how he wold cut out pieces such as a picture of John f kenedey and the time around that period with the first man on the moon and the jfk assassination which gave me the idea of using photos and cutting them out to add to a background there for creating a sort collage. For the project i have used media such as shading pencils ( mainly 2B, 4B and 6H ) in my large sheet pieces, water colour paints and pencils in both my sheet pieces and my 64 pages, a fine liner to draw outlines and simple drawings and i have also used photo cut outs to make it look more collage like with in my final piece and other sheet work, i have used these medias in my work as i felt comfortable using them as well as being able to add light, shade and texture with in my work. I think with this project i have handled my time well as all my work is to a high quality with in my ability and nothing has been missed out. I am satisfied with the project as i found it different to the work we have done before as we have been able to explore more with in the art and design world and do what we find interesting. I am satisfied with my work i have produced but if i were to do this project again i would plan better by making sure my ideas would not change so many times and i would do a little more artist research and find more than one artist to influence me as well as having a solid idea for a final piece.
