Introduction: After working through Part Four of this course I felt the need to explore my learning by more making and research and develop ideas for my CR at the end of the course. For my CR I would like to discuss and argue how my exploration with materials (artmaking) during this course became more […]
REFLECTIVE ACCOUNT DEVELOPING THIS ASSIGNMENT Looking at the ideas I have explored I wanted to consider my relationship with materials and colour. During the work on Project 5, I came to the idea of making a series of works, as paintings. Recently I have painted a still life and did lots of little works as […]
COLOUR “Painting is a physical thinking process to continue an interior dialogue,” she has said, “a way to engage in a kind of internal discourse, or sub-linguistic mumbling.” Her process-based work, suffused with humor and conceptual exploration, employs vibrant color and intense layering and drawing, and seeks intensity rather than beauty.

Sleeping, 1966 which seems to be escaping its support and ask the learner to imagine if he had abandoned the canvas or board altogether. It is clear that Auerbach had a very distinctive manner of painting almost as if […]

RESEARCH POINT 1 Angela de la Curz ( b 1965) On the Lisson Gallery, I read that this artist’s practice is situated between painting and sculpture and she engages in the discourse of painting by targeting the stretcher, which is often twisted, slashed, or bent out of shape. I watched a video of her working […]
REIMAGINING THE CANVAS De la Cruz refers to the grandiosity of painting. On the Lisson Gallery website I read: “The moment I cut through the canvas I get rid of the grandiosity of painting”, she says. ( https://www.lissongallery.com/artists/angela-de-la-cruz) On the Tate website, I found the following description for plane/picture plane: A picture plane refers to the […]
INTRODUCTION This project was done alongside the course material and became a journey into the Fungal Kingdom.

Making was seen as a reflection […]
