Greene-ware 2020 Year 12 Alexia S Art as Alternate

IA3 – INQUIRY PHASE 3 – ART AS ALTERNATE RESEARCH, DEVELOP, ACTIVITIES AND COLLABOARTIVE ART FOCUS Elizabeth Willing is a Brisbane based visual artist and in 2009 she completed her honours in fine arts. She has been awarded funding to pursue new work and professional development opportunities these include: • Australia council art start grant (2012), (2016) • Freedom foundation travelling scholarship (2013) " exploring the sculptural and multisensory potential of food has been the key focus of her practise o Her works include sculpture instillation, performance and participatory dining events that engage audiences through sensory dimensions such as smell, taste and touch o uses food as a material in her artworks the same way others use plaster, canvas or LED lights o She's worked with everything from photographs of Australian Women's Weekly fruit cakes layered into monumental collages to kilograms of marshmallow - made by hand with her mum - that she's moulded into a cushion and placed between two tables o The latest exhibition takes a close look at Australian food culture and what Willing sees as its susceptibility to outside influences, from the time of o colonisation through to contemporary food trends such as foraging

I have decided to be inspired by Elizabeth Willing's work. I really like the colours she has used throughout her work as they provoke feelings of happiness and overall wellbeing. In particular her collage works really inspired me to do my own, the fruit that she used really brought out a nice balance of contrast between natural fruity tones. Below I have made my own collage based on her aesthetic, I have simply found some photos which represented a sense of happiness within the fruit and removed the background of the subject of the image so it would make a nice clean collage effect.

COLLABORATIVE SCHOOL PROJECT

IA3 COLLOBARTIVE ART PROJECT Skateboards inspired by music artists 1. How have you implemented alternate ideas and representations to communicate concept, context and an evolved focus? (Experimenting) We have decided to with alternate surfaces, such as skateboards and wood from trees, whilst also incorporating different materials which will create an overall alternate effect to the piece. Some of these materials may be acrylic paint, spray paint, wood, and lyrics on paper.

1. Have you applied literacy skills to articulate concept and focus (Artist Statement) For this collaborated task, in which displays art as alternate, personal context and meaning has been considered and incorporated through the ideal phases in order to come up with a final solution. As this piece was in collaboration, we decided to work together as we appear to have similar taste within our main focus of this assessment, which is music artists. Our main idea for this assessment is to incorporate music artists covers on alternate materials which capture the creative sense in which music explores. All music artists chosen capture both our personal favourites in which we have a strong connection to.

Use of colour and symbolism will play a large role in piecing together our final piece. The use of symbols will help for the audience to capture their own personal meaning behind the piece, whilst also creating an idea as to which artist we r displaying. By working with different canvases, such as skateboards and wood, this helps to portray the creative culture vibe in which music portrays.

3.

Have you analysed and interpreted alternate visual language and expression in artworks to explore viewpoints and a contemporary context (Case Studies) The artist Joe Dolack A designer and artist originally from Seattle and his portraits are meant to capture the subjects personality while the unique background provides a stage for the images to pop off the canvas.

Having found this Joe has recently tried a new direction, looking to demonstrate a more graphic/pop art approach, greatly influenced by his graphic design beginnings. https://www.saatchiart.com/joedolack1 His works also include pray painting Contrast of colour for example this piece of asap rocky, he has used black and white texture against vibrant colourful background

Lexi Bruno Art Acrylic Print of an original painting depicting American rapper, singer, and songwriter, Tyler, The Creator, along with his each of his works.

She is from New Jersey Her artwork is inspired by various music artists and explores the perspective of colour and proportion Her assortment of the visual collage inspires the viewer of his various albums Her layering of flowers portray another layer underneath which sets a mood of uplifting and combines the piece together nicely

5. Have you evaluated art practises, tradiitons, cultures, theories to inform alternate approaches (link your case studies to your own work) Music culture is what we are inspired by for this piece, which informs alternate approaches. From the case studies of our chosen artists in which help to portray our ideas, this will help link all our ideas together, whilst giving a background as to what our inspiration is. •

6. Have you justified a new viewpoint supported by knowledge gained through combined self-directed inquiry (development of your own work) We have justified a viewpoint in which combines the importance of music culture and the knowledge of colour experimentation in the self directed inquiry.

We have enabled the skills and other factors in which has given us the ability to understand the underlying messages of music culture and the ability to combine self directed skills. Some of these skills were the ability to make collages to convey meanings in which describe underlying meaning of music. Some of these underlying meanings came from symbolism which 7. Have you experimented with familiar and alternate media and ideas relevant to the focus and informed by research of contemporary practise?

8. Have you created meaning through knowledge and understanding of materials, techniques, technologies and art processes to support alternate approaches (message/ intent behind the artwork based on exploration of ideas) In order to create meaning through knowledge and understating of materials, we decided to use techniques such as acrylic paint, spray paint, timber, and lyrics on paper in which are material that could easily portray the symbols in which we decide to use which replicate with them chosen artists. By also using surfaces such as wood and skateboards, this also links well with the music background with an alternate type of feeling through use of colour and symbols.

As music is also expressed to alternate in which artists have their own way in

expressing personal thoughts and feelings, and artists particularly choose to use music artists as inspiration within their pieces.

9. Have you realised a body of work through an inquiry to communicate artistic purpose and meaning to audiences?

We have realised that the body of work through an inquiry to communicate purpose and meaning towards audiences. We will be putting numerous materials and ideas together to communicate meaning of music artists and their underlying meanings through symbolism for example Tyler the creator, in his album cherry bomb we see the symbolism of the cherry, so this could be used as a metaphor as a pattern on one of our skateboards to exemplify the importance of symbolism in such a context. Also, through the body of work other elements that will also be incorporated in order to convey purpose will be the process of the lyrics of each artists used possibly as a backdrop of each skateboard, these lyrics may either be ripped up or simply glued down with PVA glue. Having the main theme of symbolism throughout each of the works enables the viewer to put two and two together weather to question what the artists is portraying or weather they understand.
