CONCEPT (Research) SCHEME (Development)
INNOVATE (Execution) CSI CONCEPT
The initial idea you have for a painting, or something you think is inspiring or you'd like to try, that's the concept.
Concepts for your art can come from anywhere and everywhere. It can be a vague idea or a definite idea at this point.
… on what you think you are making and what you are trying to communicate to your audience! CONCEPT con’t Show evidence in your sketchbook: - create series of thumbnail sketches - investigate the and see what else you might discover, whether it's about a particular artist or artwork on a similar subject or in a similar style. - More sketches - Photos - Artwork from different artists - Stylized or abstract images - Jot down notes Transformation
Fairytales identity Memories food Science romance Culture marine Insects & animals SCHEME
Once you've researched and investigated your concept, it's time to develop a plan to figure out how to strengthen your message. Things to consider during development.. Composition and placement - Go off the ‘square’ - Refer to your guide sheet SCHEME Balance -asymmetry is more dynamic - symmetry is less dynamic
Emphasis -focal point
Movement -Background -Middle ground - Foreground - Positive vs. Negative Things to consider during the design process..
Your skill level You are expected to take risks and challenge yourself!
The Properties of Clay Gravity clay thickness Consistency Drying time Leather hard (detail) Texture Etc.
Show evidence in your sketchbook: - Generate a series of rough drafts and get even more excited! INNOVATE
Produce an artwork that is a true and unique reflection of concept and self.
