Art Board Evaluation

In the end, I didn't really end up fully following my plan and original ideas. 

I started with the magazine multicolored heart and then drew a real heart, going with my original theme of real and fake. 

I decided to roughly paint it with red and once that had finished I developed it into three different artworks and that become my first row. I used the original magazine heart underneath and developed it, separating it and breaking it playing around with colour like the the above row. Next I took photos and brought back in the yellow tape from my artist model and brought in photography further developing the hearts. 

Then I took physical copies of the magazine heart and crumpled them and photocopied them. the next board and top row I photographed physical versions of the heart and the second row is the same with other hearts.

the next two pieces strongly related back to my original theme and ideas with stereotypes and labels relating to girls and women. I actually went back to my plan here and used the portraits of a face for it and used magazine word cut outs. the words and text over photos was using Barbara Kruger as inspiration. 

the next photos were dry brushed with paint and had bold words relating back to my original theme again. 

the final piece included everything all the ideas and media's.

my mediums sort of changed and is like mixed media. I used collage, paint, drawing, photography. 

in the end I didn't really follow my original plan and a few of my ideas/theme got lost or changed slightly during the process. I think overall the theme centers around the heart, emotions and insecurities. how different people cope and how some people lock away their feelings and heart because they are scared of being hurt and of judgement. broken hearts and pain also play a part. I think I ended up even developing my original theme and ideas into something more.

as above there's wet media in the bottom left two pieces on the second board and at the first row. there's drawing incorporated in the first pieces aswell and the last pieces.

this is the original heart 

sketches of the heart before it got developed 

this was the base of the tape over multiple pieces. it was drawn and then painted and done in different sizes for each piece.

these were the unused pieces. the crying eyes were in inspiration of my artist model Hannah who used glitter and stuff like this in her art photos. the heart with red writing was inspired by barbara Kruger.
