project proposal

I think my idea of freedom is to be comfortable and happy wherever you are without pain or conflict, I will incorporate some things where freedom has been taken away in order to deepen the effect of this piece hopefully highlighting that there is injustice in the world and that we are lucky to live where we live and understand there are still places where freedom is taken from people, hopefully this will give a bit of weight to my artwork, also I am doing this because I find a piece of art has to have two sides to it in order for it to be fully appreciated. I also believe I will incorporate different types of freedom like psychological, physical and emotional.

I think mainly I’m going to focus on influential people e.g. Martin Luther King Audrey Hepburn malala yousafazai and many others or people that fought for freedom I may also put emphasis on life when freedom is taken away e.g. forced marriages, segregation in communities, religious aspects and physical images of freedom that has been lost, slavery, Indians in America and perhaps immigration as it is quite a large topic these days with the elections coming up, I could also include women in society and how they weren’t granted the vote. I will also use symbolism on my 63 squares e.g. a bird flying from a cage and perhaps an eagle. I will aim to use different media and perhaps use different ways of working on something e.g. stencils and printmaking. I will look into different artists e.g. Banksy and Frida Kahlo and try to replicate their work and do some research into their background. As well as this I will aim to visit art galleries (civic) and other websites in order to broaden my research on this topic. I will aim to create a small sketchbook roughly 10 or more pages in A3 or A4 size I will also do a final piece in which I will try to establish the theme of freedom and also incorporate many different types of media on it and I might display my 63 pieces in a circular fashion but I have not quite decided on that yet.

For my evaluation I will write about it at the end of my project including whether or not I enjoyed it and why I chose the things that I did as well as a peer assessment and I will write whether or not I could’ve used a bit more time and effort on it also including if I followed up on any annotations and whether I did the same with my blog and my pinterest page.
