How is my previous work contributing towards my degree show?
I would say that I have really tried out many ideas when it comes to installation and making art work. All the work that is shown in my blog not only reflects my working process and finished work but it also reflects upon the way I have shown some of my works. In a few of my works, I have already been planning my degree show at the time when I was making the Mahjong house installation and I wanted people to see it and to write down what they thought about it.
This was also great research for me when people can view my installation works and other works that I have on show to try and get some positive feedback from the viewers. This will give me crucial evidence to what the viewers may think of all my work when it comes to giving a show to the viewer. This kind of research will enable me to piece my ideas together carefully ready for the degree show.
Can all the works that I create on the blog give me a possible degree show?
I would say that I am very confident with what I want to do because seeing all my ideas and works on the Blog gives me a better clue to what I want to do for my degree show. Just seeing all my recent and past works together in my Blog makes it easier for me to pick out ideas from all the works to put together a nice degree show and I will still keep developing more ideas to perfect my end of year show.
Any degree show in mind?
I would say I pretty much have a nice idea for my degree show which shows some sketches that I made in my previous posts of my possible degree show. There are infact two possible degree shows that I could go for which is either The Time Mahjong or the Chinese/English Vase shop. Because I am good at lensed based media and printing, I have had to come up with two possible degree shows for both of them.
This way, I have more opportunities and ideas for my degree show and its good to have more than one direction just incase one idea fails. I am very certain that I will still carry on to try make The Time Mahjong as it was my first choice and I believe this will be a stronger image towards me and the viewers. With the Chinese/English Vase Shop of my prints I will treat this as a side exhibition for other people to see and still make this idea in a few weeks time.
Next steps to make for my degree show?
Now that everything is drawing closer and closer, I have to start thinking about what I should plan and do in good time to make The Time Mahjong become a reality! I have already shown previous Blog posts of my Chinese and english roof ideas and I will use them as part of my degree show to resemble the two different cultures. The Mahjong House installation has given me ideas to add the people with the mahjong game into my degree show.
I will also build my own dark space room and have the mahjong game inside with the two different chinese and english roofs on the outside of the dark room. next thing I must do is buy the big wooden panels to make my own dark space and then all I have to do is put all the other objects together with the dark space. Then hopefully The Time Mahjong will workout the way I want it. Will always keep updated of any new works and ideas.
