What did I feel after my BA in Fine Arts and starting my masters?
After finishing off my degree show and putting it to bed I have had the desire to take up a masters degree for one more year at UCS in Ipswich. After successfully completing my tough 3 years of my BA,… I had earned a 1st class Honours degree in fine art! which had made me shocked and very happy to have achieved it. Although I was very passionate and so absorbed into making art work and doing research I was planning on trying my best anyway hence why I had obtained a 1st class honours.
I did not achieve what I desired getting pissed every weekend, playing games or doing a 9-5 job Monday to Friday. I could say I was well into the stuff that I loved doing so well like artists research and essay work in the evening and making great art during the day sometimes until 7 or 8 at night time. yeah it was my fault for sometimes feeling a bit unwell and tired doing all of this work but I wanted to put the extra effort in. Instead of just playing with materials all the time I wanted to produce a more refined art work rather than just producing artwork for ideas or because I have to to show a lot of artwork.
A new person for a new start? or the same person?
The kind of person I normally am is a planning and seeing in advance person who likes to work out problems and ideas mostly in my head and try to refine my art work the first time round. But I also like to draw them in a sketchbook and working the situation out to see the insight of my problems so it will be something that I will try do more of is planning and sketching. but sometimes I cannot tell whether it will work or not, I have to gamble sometimes which could involve a lot of money in the projects that I do.
A new start in terms of thinking for my masters degree?
What people see on paper is what they will see in my mind and most times I really wanna just let it explode out through printing onto paper or sculpture. Now as an artist and soon to graduate, I have finished mostly with playing and trying to find out who I am as an artist. In my mind already, I want to keep producing great new prints and sculptures that are based on the differences between English and Chinese cultures along with Indexical traces. This will hopefully lead off to a great and interesting start to the new and final year studying my masters.
