FINAL DRAFT – 18TH APRIL

FINAL DRAFT

FINAL DRAFT

The critique made me see better how I want to present my work in the final presentation. I hesitated if I wanted to glue all the works onto a common surface but realized that this work could be something that evolves over a longer period of time so gluing it would ruin that. Instead, I should actually present it in a way that makes it clear that it is not finished or fixed. One idea is to present it in a grid where there’s one piece missing, showing that there is always room for more. This feels appropriate since the project is called Color Diary and a diary is always a dynamic ongoing process of documenting and will never be a finished work, therefore I want this project to keep that idea.

PROTOTYPE 2:

PROTOTYPE

PROTOTYPE – Feedback Capture Grid:

+     The structure, using the same surface and size each day

?      Word unnecessary? Should I not include the feeling and only the date. – Better with a smooth surface? Buy watercolor paper with a smooth surface.

△    Word of feeling directs the viewer, doesn’t leave it open-ended. The text now looks like it is trying to be a stamp yet fails to be exactly the same. A stamp would unify the paintings and make them coherent. The staples also make the paintings look messy, try to find another way to put them together. If they are presented on a wall I can use Pattafix

ϟ     Decide which colors are related to what before, create more precise parameters. Start with a color as a surface and not white. Have different textures, water some of them down and work with the materiality as well. Different materiality such as thick, bold, light creates different vibes. Many paintings the same day, if a shift in mood. Stamp like an old photograph.

Decide how big the final work should be, how many paintings I want, how much time I have and plan backward
