Fine art

HATED this rotation!!!!!!!
For me it was too slow moving and lack of a clear brief for me made it difficult. Never the less over the first week I enjoyed the drawing, and on independent study day I found it great fun taking my own pictures around my local area and drawing the changes that occured. Yet what confused me about the area is what was good and what was bad!!! In the past I have found when looking at other students work ither at school or in the other rotations, for me it has been clear what is 'good' and what is 'bad', not only in terms of ideas but aesthetically too. Yet within fineart, some of the more technical work was bad and the stuff that had taken two seconds and very little thought was good. This confused me as when it came to painting in the studio I found it difficult to know what was wanted from us, and moreover what would be seen as good and waht would be seen as bad! Hence for my final idea I came up with a selecition of several smaller paintings which would be hung together. These paintings were influenced not only by my confusion within the project but by some of my drawings, photo manipulations and too acetate work and the aspect of repitition. With inspiration I translated my ideas onto small pieces of wood. With this work I like the energy and I feel they are quite interesting with the many layers of paint. However these are not usually what I would count as a 'good' painting and although interesting I think I would have prefered to produce a more realistic piece against the advice of the tutors!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall- rotation not good, it dragged on!!
