So far from this module I have gained or improved upon several skills that I feel will benefit my practice:
- I have developed my ability to think quickly during production, many mistakes I made led to my work developing in different ways.
- The use of motifs gave me the chance to explore themes from my author in a wider way than I would have thought possible.
- The brief thus far has reminded me how much I enjoy collage, a process that I came to use often in Visual Language during Level 4. I plan to use it more in the future.
- For the first time I have began to create my own textures using inks and paints. I haven't done this before but expect I will be from now on.
- Finally I have rediscovered the use of photocopiers, a fantastic method for mass producing collage textures.
Throughout my Visual Journal I plan to explore further severals things:
- Firstly I'm going to try using different motifs.
- I found I have mostly used black and white thus far so plan to use more colour if appropriate.
- I really enjoyed collage and creating textures so plan to use these more.
- Having rediscovered photocopying I plan to use more of their abilities such as negativity.
- Finally I plan to work under short time frame where appropriate.
I plan to go further with the motifs of 'War' and 'Urban Decay' as I found they go hand in hand visually. However I plan to replace 'Product' with something similar in tone to the prior two such as Labour for example as this was more in line with Huxley's concerns of the future.
As I stated I want to use photocopying more but to do this I will need to investigate the different techniques/methods of photocopying to create a wide range on visual imagery. I also plan to read more books concerning the future we are creating for ourselves - both fictionally and factually. I also plan to do more external research by visiting and taking photographs.
