Explain the MAIN IDEA(S) for the development of your responses

My main idea for this project is to focus on graffiti style art and express it in a style that shows what I’m about. If I make the project about me it broadens the different possibilities that I am able to explore and leaves more room for me to express myself in various ways with art. I am looking to explore digital art and to broaden my knowledge on graffiti. I also plan on exploring what I can do in correlation to the cultural aspects of my life. I hope to engage with the strongest relationships I have in my life by incorporating my friends and family in my art. I hope to expand on my skill with the Adobe Software and enhance my digital creativity.

Outline your PLAN(S) for the development of your work

First I would need to research different graffiti artists to strengthen my knowledge on the graffiti spectrum in general. I would then move on to organic pencil drawings to show my initial drawing skill. I plan on working on a multiple range of pencil drawings at first before moving to the digital side of things. I intend on trying to use Photoshop to manipulate pictures that I’ve taken to resemble the work of the graffiti artist that I had done some research on. This will then lead me to exploring digital drawings and starting them out by doing some drawings on Adobe Illustrator. I will hope to expand my skill level of digital drawings before moving on to creating something more advanced. I plan on using the tools that I have to hopefully create that playful element that graffiti always has to it. As I move forward I aim to grow in my creativity so hopefully I will work on some physical pieces and use different tools such as paint to enhance the graphical feel of my artwork.

Describe the CONTEXT (influences, purposes and meanings) of your work

The work that I create is greatly inspired by the fact that I am more drawn to cartoony type of art rather than the serious aesthetic that multiple artists try to create. I am also a huge advocate for colourful pieces and colourful pieces inspire me to create something just as bizarre. I am also drawn to collages so I will be hoping to combine a few of the digital drawings that I create and put them altogether in one piece. In terms of meaning my project is going to be about me and certain relationships I have that are prominent in my everyday life. This project should have all the external elements of graffiti but internally it should revolve directly around me. This is supposed dive in deeper about who I am and also give a brief education in regards of my background.

REFLECT on your work critically as it progresses and on its completion
