Homage

I have decided to do my Homage brief about my nan who was a big influence in my life. I have lots of happy memories about the time i spent with my nan and so i think there is a lot of potential narrative to develop within this brief. My nan encouraged me to draw and taught me drawing techniques. I used to love visiting her as she would tell us fantastical stories about characters she had met and she would treat me and my brother all the time with plenty of sweets and chocolates, which she kept in a secret drawer and which was always full of different sweets every time we went. 




I have started by looking at memories of my nan with a couple of test animations about the furnishings of her room, chintz and lace, and a memory i have of picking elderberries in the summer.




The human figure

I will looking at the work of Farrow for my essay on the human figure in art and design. I have chosen Farrow for their work with the Manic Street Preachers for their Lifeblood campaign and with Spiritualized featuring sculptures by Don Brown.

Art history research

After looking at images that inspire me for my FMP I have widened my research by connecting these images to other points in art history which have been inspired by or took inspiration from the original artist.
