Assessment 6 Week 6
Given word: Flow
​
Materials: acrylic, chalk pastel, watercolour, crayon, watercolour paper, leaves, plywood
I explored a few possibilities to express the word flow, particularly ideas that linked to my previous works which often had a water related theme.
Final Artwork
Reflection
​
Exploring possible artwork relating to the word 'Flow' was very interesting, I created a mindmap off all the words and concepts relating to the word before narrowing down the most comprehensive ones.
​
My final artwork demonstrated the flow of a circular ribbon shape, every aspect of the artwork changes except the ribbon which is constant and complete.
Changing variables:
- canvas
- colour
- medium
This approach to depicting the word "flow" conveyed my thoughts on the word, how a true flow is something that exists despite disturbances, something that is constant and unwavering even if it is changed.
​
The final product was not secured in place, it lay on the bench top positioned for each canvas to line up.
After a week, the leaves had dried up and curled, changing and breaking the flow.
Although the flow was technically broken, it still looked visually rhythmical and consistent. The curled leaves added a diverse movement to the canvas aspect of the artwork and created an aesthetically interesting disturbance in the "flow".
