Theme Ideas Generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help me to generate my ideas for my theme , I decided to create a mind map for different potential ideas .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used some of my own ideas and the internet ( secondary research) to help me as well as m sketch books from when I was in Secondary school . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because my specialist practice is mixed media and I like to draw animals , portraits and things from nature a ,I think these would be a good theme idea ( concealment, human form , nature)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to combine these ideas for my theme .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I asked my parents of things that remind them of concealment and nature. I like the idea of flowers but I still like my thoughts of portraits which I want to conceal with the nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fond this to be very successful and helpful as it helped me to choose my concept and it gave me a wider choice of pathways which I didn’t already think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mood board <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I created a mood board to help me visually help me to show my thoughts and ideas for this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contextual Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I created another mind map about my theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did some research in to it so I can have a better understanding about nature in art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facial Feature \/ Mark makings and Flower sketches.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have drawn some quick sketches of facial features and flowers as well as including some mark makings because I want to use human form and nature. I also took inspiration from the Rolling Stones logo of the tongue and traced around my hands overlapping to show that it is trying to conceal something. The mark makings can help to create a sense of emotion which if something is concealed, it can create a feeling of isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cristina Otero <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cristina otero graduated from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in Art history. She is a visual artist who uses photography as a means to represent and reflect about human paradigms and experiences though the practice of self portrait. Inspired by American\u2019s Next Top Model, Otero became fascinated with the endless possibilities photography offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that I could uses her style of work in my project but instead of using different types of fruits, I could use flowers and nature on top of a self portrait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These 3 pictures are probably my favourite images of her work. This is because I like how vibrant and eye catching they are as well as looking a bit weird especially the green grapes one .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also like how her work has inspired and influenced me to create work that is done in a similar fashion to hers as she is one of my favourite artists.<\/p>\n\n\n

Art inspired by Cristina Otero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This relates to Cristina Otero\u2019s style of art as it involves elements of photography and photo manipulation which I achieved on photoshop. I also used an image of a portrait which I found on the internet which I can clearly see that Otero does the same however these tend to be self portraits. I can also clearly see that uses bright intense colours in her work whilst remaining very realistic as well as using fruits on faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using fruits I decided to layer some hand drawn flowers which I used a nut to do so . <\/p>\n\n\n
