Assessment 1- Proposal for Project
Question of research:
What would it be Like if fantasy exploded into our world?
The theme of this project is "Alternate South-land", I want to explore the changed that South-land would go through If fantasy suddenly was our reality, how would our world adapt and change, another possibility is what if fantastic had always existed or even if magical creatures replaced humans.
Three artists I have looked into:
Anne Stokes: https://www.facebook.com/annestokesart/
Anne Stokes is an English artist who create works of fantasy, she has created things from jewelry and designs of logos on t-shirts she has even designed diagrams for dungeons and dragons. Her artwork has been presented in various exhibitions and is highly praised for her paintings.
I love her realistic style and details of drawing, her drawings have such beautiful themes of fantiasy. not only does she creat original works but she also has created fan art of things such as harry potter. The main focus of her pictures blend into the background very well.
Amy Brown: https://www.amybrownart.com/
Amy Brown is well known for her artwork of fairies, to me her work looks as if it would be something stitched onto an ancient tapestry,
She began her career when the gallery she was working at asked her to fill in an empty frame, from there she started selling her beautiful works.
Her work is very beautiful, it looks as if it would be something stitched into an ancient tapestry from a fantasy world, or even an illustration in an old book, parts of the characters design has a ripped yet graceful look, the colour is usually centered around one hue and that draws my attention to the whole thing
Jasmine Becket-Griffith:
I love the big eyes within her work, the chibi style is shaded wonderfully, and though it doesn't have realistic proportions I still admire how she has created her work.
Software:
The software I will be using Photoshop, I will most likely take photos of location for reference as I want to create each piece of art in my drawn style. I considered drawing fantisy into photographs which I may test with. but I have previously done so in my year 13 photography course and would like to create something new rather then going back to what I have already done in a previous year, this will also let me explore what I can create and what I am capable of making withing various programs,
Further Tests and experiments:
I want to try a variety of methods to create the images within my mind. I am going to try several things such as drawing into photography, photo editing, drawing from scratch, and what else I can discover in the programs I will be working with in this project.
South-land:
- Stewart Island is a par of Southland and is known to inhabit kiwis
-Stirling point
-Never far from the Ocean
- Southland contains various native and rare wild life
- Southland was a hard place to inhabit at first for the maroi due to the harsh conditions of the terrain and weather
Summery:
The reason I have chosen a fantasy theme for my AU South-land is because I have such a love for the genre where anything is possible, there are no limits on what crazy creatures you can create and not to mention dragons, they on their own are awesome as hell.
As for the programs I chose Photoshop as it has various brushes and tools that will be useful in the creation of my works.
Images: created
Images I have created in the past, that can relate to this topic
