Final Project

The above images are of my final project. The piece is still in development, however the piece will be an A1 illustrative design. A segment will also be animated. The design will be completed with fineliner pens ranging from 0.1mm - 0.8mm. The design will be completed within the silhouette of evolution pioneer Charles Darwin, which allows me to experiment designs with botanical and animal features. I use aspects on every design to keep a constant house style e.g. contour detailing on botanical areas and spinal triangular area on animals to show how each animal or plant is steamed from one another.
The piece will be exhibited in a black frame. I was originally going to use a wooden frame, but after discussions with my tutor we decided a black snap frame would be best so the texture/colour/grain of the frame wouldn't distract from the piece. This also allows for easy cleaning and lighting to be achieved. It was important to have enough light for my piece so that it is easy to see, therefore my booth will be in-front of a window, which is also where a plug socket is so that I can have power to a laptop. I have a plinth to stand the laptop on to at an easy height for viewing. As can be seen in the Google sketchup illustrations, the piece will be exhibited in a right angle, one size will feature the animation (laptop) and sketchbook, the other Final piece, and design and visual sheets, plus my final description. It is important I show all these to showcase the development and finalization of my piece.

Tim Shaw

Tim Shaw's pieces alone are chilling and give a haunting atmosphere. But also the way he uses mundane backgrounds, often dark and almost thriller inspired backgrounds adds greater mood to the politically targeting pieces. I was have seen one of his pieces in last years Summer Arts Exhibition, this was presented again with the sculpture being in a dark colouring the piece kept to the same nature of the one above. All the pieces he exhibits are of the same nature which creates a constant house-style which can be seen on his website: http://www.timshawsculptor.com/ . The constant atmosphere and atmospheric display between the pieces also show how he has seen that one way it was displayed worked (the violent appearance standing out above the virgin white) and kept to the same technique replicating this years down the line. Not only this but he uses light to darken and cape he pieces in even more darkness creating shadowing extending the real life scale of the piece, so that the area in takes up is greater and more intimidating. A brilliant technique.
