At the winter session, I showed a variety of different works and chose to pursue my painted photographs depicting my feelings about a place. Throughout the Spring semester, I will be continuing to do so through daily studies collected in a workbook, similar to the small pieces I brought to winter session on the standard printer paper. These studies will be presented each week. At the same time, I will be working more with trying new ways of utilizing different mediums, including different techniques in transferring images to work with. The start of the semester will be focused primarily on more traditional paper materials, including photo paper, card stock, and canvas paper. Images of these experiments in processes will also be shared as they are made each week for feedback and thoughts from everyone.
As the semester goes on, I will continue to experiment with different techniques, including working on alternative surfaces (currently canvas (primed & unprimed), wood, and slate). I will also be continuing my daily studies, continuing to paint on photographs in response to letting out my feelings/anxiety from the day and serving as inspiration for my final works. By April, I hope to have chosen a definite medium/transfer process to pursue and begin to create my final works getting at least 6 done by the time Summer semester starts. I think it would also be interesting to present my workbook along side the final works in the summer show as it help depicts the processes that I have gone through.
It makes sense that you are going to experiment with the physical properties of the surface/support.
