Hello!

My concept for this project will be “Change of Self“.

Moving from Malaysia to Singapore, I realised that I didn’t just change where I lived but who I was as well.

There were constant and variable elements in this change, some of which I attribute to family, friends and the environment.

 

After my consult with Joy, she helped me figure out my layout.

 

 

You can view my Weekly Consult form in the pdf below:

Ego Week 11

The layout above was supposed to be posted last week, I had it saved already ready to publish but I completely forgot, so Im just going to combine both posts for the past 2 weeks into one.

 

I’ve made quite a lot of progress in my visual journal in terms of finalising my equations and realllly thinking everything through- from colour theories to my whole concept of change and how my actual compositions would look like.

For my second consult with Joy, I showed her rough sketches (thumbnail form) of my compositions, what worked and what didn’t work. Honestly in terms of executing my work I’m kind of stuck still and I’m not sure why. I’m hoping I’ll get over this by this week and have concrete compositions to show Joy for this weeks consult.

 

My finalised equations:

 

 

Here is my progress in my visual journal! There are more words than there are photos or drawings, but that is because Im still figuring out a lot of things and trying to organise my thoughts. Maybe I think in words? Some people are more visual than text based- I guess Im better at translating my thoughts into words than visual images…

 

 

I found out about this “Big 5 Personality Traits” and decided to do it to help me contain myself into these categories:

 

I added in more reference images from my reference artists to convey how my style has changed, reflecting my the change in who I am as well.

 

 

 

I also delved into my choices for color theories but stopped halfway because I realised that I was limiting myself by thinking in this manner

 

 

The colours I would choose for each colour theory:

I experimented with some patterns using the colour theories- it was quite fun actually!

 

Consultation with Joy in Week 12

1.  I told Joy that I wanted to use patterns in all of my compositions.
2. I updated her on the fact that I will make all my compositions handmade, and use digital media to combine my handmade compositions into the end of the equations. She suggested making use of scanning as an art? This was pretty interesting- I think I will look further into that.

2. She also told me to think about how far can you push using digital means to your advantage?

3. I told her about my idea of using kaleidoscopes, which I’m not sure whether I will be using. I have to see if it can tie in to my concept well.

 

My failed attempt at a kaleidoscope 🙁

So what’s next?

START EXECUTING MY COMPOSITIONS!
