At the beginning of this project before i had any ideas of a plan or a theme I looked through my work from the previous project and used photoshop to create new compositions with abstraction.
​
The most successful of the two being the left image that i named deep sleep,in this i used texture from the charcoal to make a textured floor. I feel this image has a very peaceful feel to it,
deep sleep
When in the idea generation part of the project a way of thinking outside the box is to choose three words to make work from, i had chosen dystopian fire and suspend. This forced me to think outside the box and come up with more unique ideas that i probably wouldn't have come up with otherwise
Now knowing that my theme will be time I started with idea generation exploring different ideas and routes i can take this theme. This is when i realised that there are many different ways of interpreting this theme like age and abstraction. After realising this I had to decide on one subtheme or idea so not to be too ambitious and not have the time to complete my project.
These smaller paintings are from when I was brainstorming different ideas for how I could show time in a piece of art Like birds in motion or literally showing a church clock in the landscape. The important thing I learnt from this is that paint is going to be my media of choice I my final work because of the diversity of colours and marks you can make with it instead of a media like oil pastels where you have set colours to draw with.
If i were to present my work i would have both canvas presented next to each other for people to view and compare the two paintings.
