Memory Evaluation

 The first time when I received this assignment; I started thinking about memories of my dog who died when I was little. She was my first dog in my life therefore I decided to make memory project about her. I knew what I wanted to do so I started getting out the ideas of what I wanted to make my final outcome and started developing. It was easy while I was thinking but it wasn’t easy when I started to work on it. I started writing about the accident story of my dog. I showed it to my teacher and we discussed about what we should develop my work. 

I researched the artists’ work and a little bit about themselves while I was working on my project to get the idea of what I should do. I made research using the Internet then I did stick their works into my sketchbook. I also wrote annotate each of their works. I took some of the idea from the artist and made my project inspired by them. In this project I drew lots of picture of my dog and painted of my dog then did photo manipulation by using all of my works on Photoshop.

I have made 3 dimensional project of my dog by using foam, masking tape, small pin and the scalpel with the cutting map. I used 3 layers for the dog head base on my dog’s story. I made the whole dog’s body to make the project stand very well to make it look perfect. I did have problem with make my object to stand very well because it was made by quiet soft foam. I didn’t know I will have to make 3D project so the project out come didn’t look well but if I will have more time I would like to improve my design to something unique and looking great.

I had some difficulties with annotating the artists’ work and my own work because it was hard to describe of what I think about their work in Art language such as what is the art is telling and showing. I couldn’t hand it in my project on the deadline day because I didn’t finish my 3 dimensional works on the time I should be finished.  I wasn’t satisfied with the 3D project because it looked simple and looks very boring.

I did organise my work by sticking the works into sketchbook in the right pages and I wrote the number of the page to make it easier to find it. If I will have more time for this project I would like to create more of the 3D project by using many different materials and paint my dog’s picture with many different type of paint techniques.
