STUDIO PRACTICE Statement of Intent Name Lauren Dennis Blog Address http://l-‐dennis1316.blogspot.co.uk Date 18/01/16 Rationale I want to become more confident in my ability to create work, because ultimately it will mean that I am happier and my work stronger. This will make it easier to open a dialogue with people about my work and as a result, become more successful and improve my chances of being hired. I feel that this module will provide me with enough opportunities to make this viable. If I believe in my practice by the end of this year it will mean there is one less thing to worry about come graduation. This will also provide me with a full and diverse portfolio What do you want to do? -‐ Become more confident -‐ Make work for my portfolio -‐ Be more disciplined with my development process -‐ MAKE MORE! -‐ Find out what else I want to do -‐ Develop my tattoo aesthetic Themes / Subjects At this point in time i’m unsure, I work a lot with motifs in my work, these generally fall under: -‐ Nature -‐ animals, insects, plants, mushrooms -‐ Self Reflection -‐ authorial, biographical -‐ Emotions -‐ Motif -‐ Things that mean other things, representational Products / Methods of Distribution Throughout this module I would like to create band merchandise, a possible publication or illustrations for such, a product of some sort (something physical) and produce posters for things to become more proficient in type and layout. I will distribute these mostly online, but also at art fairs and shows. There is also a possibility within this module for an exhibition, which will include multiple people’s work but be curated and organised by myself. Practical Skills / Media / Formats
