vintage project evaluation



Vintage project evaluation

The era I chose to study was the 1940s, when I first decided to research the 1940s I wanted to look into world war two and other aspects of it. Although I have looked into several other things like fashion, food, cartoons, other artists, several celebrities, transport, hairstyles, songs and jewellery. I have chosen to focus on fashion for the remainder of my pages.
at that time there was a war taking place in the 1940s so there wasn’t much going on at the time certain things had to be sacrificed and if you wanted to buy anything you needed to really save up for it or collect enough coupons to buy it, the 40s were a time of rationing. The artists that were around in the 40s that I chose were Matisse, Picasso, Wassily Kandinski and Salvadore Dali, I chose these artists because I found their work interesting their style is mainly expressive and they used loose strokes when painting and almost all use oil paint. The media I have used is mainly pen, pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour and paint, I used this media because they are what I consider to be the media I work best with and I wanted to make it look as best as it could although I wish I could’ve found  way to put different media in as well.
My annotations aren’t very creatively displayed but I think I put everything I could think of in them it would’ve been better if they were presented more creatively but I am happy with what I have produced. I don’t think I have handled my time management well I would’ve preferred it if I had more time to make my sketchbook more presentable and clearer instead it is more rushed.
I think that I am satisfied with my sketchbook overall there are a few things I would like to do better like have better presented annotations on my work and I believe I could’ve not rushed things as much as I have but overall I am happy with what I have accomplished including the Marilyn Monroe picture that I drew I am very happy with that.
