Through out this blogging process, i have found it helpfull to logically anailyse my thoughts and ideas through out my work and thinking process.
I have also found it helpfull with aranging ideas and because i am looking at each piece of work twice, once in real life and once on here its helping me see when work has come to a natural end and which work could be progressed further.
in the second half of the blog i am going to start narrowing down my ideas for my degree show and start making the final pieces towards that.
to begin with i thing i was getting to caught up in the process of my work, but to me process is a very important part of any work. i like my flaws and i want the viewer to see how the work was made. not work that looks like it has been stampted out of a machine. so i belive that the process is half the piece, i want my viewers to undersatand the process as much an the work its self.
Although i feel that i have improved with critically analysing my work rather then focusing on the process, i still have a lot more to do in the following months leading to the finalaty of the course.
Within my work i explore new ideas just by simply making, trying and doing them. This is then how i develop thease ideas, when they are made and infrount of you i find that it is then easier to see where that idea is going and what it can turn into.
As for looking and reaserching other artists i find the best way to connect with the artist is to first learn the story and the principle behind their work, and then to have a go at experimenting and trying to recreate the artists methords bit in my own style.
within my creative process when i come up with an idea i immediatly jump into making whatever i have thought of, normally with very little thought before hand. although this is sometimes the best way to just let my creative loose. it sometimes causes me to make silly mistakes like not waxing a mold and in turn breaking the piece trying to get it out.
i tend to find that even though this can sometimes take twice the amount of time, i learn to stop and think about it and in turn learn from the mistakes and can most of the time create a better piece because of it.
i know this is a fault of mine and that i rush into things too much, but sometimes it can be an advantage as sometimes the mistakes can add something to the piece that wouldnt have been there before.
