Week 7: Update: How you are managing with this timescale as you approach the deadline

Managing and planning is one of the most important thing, on this step I have planned everything, and I focusing on one task in one moment and Im going forward step by step, I planned extra time too,

Week 7: Update with your further research and state the research you have completed from your sign off here:

I have completed artist research about George Bellows who was famous from Expressionist sports painting. The next research was ot included in my project plan, in the next research I looked at Robert Riggs who’s paintings and lithographs catch my eye, and the third one  wasn’t too included in my plan and his name is Jozef Kuklowski who was polish Expressionist artist whose specialised in 3D sculptures. I did quick research about all artists which I include in my project plan but after consideration and looking at expressionist style I found more artists.

Week 3: Which techniques/skills are you developing/learning for this project?

I would like to develop my drawing / painting and making sculpture techniques in expressionist style. I would learn how to make a frame and canvas and how to paint on canvas, how to paint and draw portraits in expressionist style.

Week 5: Skills Week and Workshops - discuss the skills you learnt and developed for this project? How have they helped to develop your project?

Add a reflection here:

The most useful skill/ workshop related to my major project was the Wood workshop. This workshop showed me how to manipulate ,cut ,etc in wood. After introduction I was back to wood work to create frames and then stretch the canvas to it. This was most useful because I need this canvas on wood frames for my major project to make 6 paintings on 6 canvas. I still need a base for the sculptures so I might be back there to make it.

Week 3: What do you expect the final outcomes of the project to be?

‘I have no expectations and i'm prepared for everything’ it's my motto. But if i have to write something… I want to make progress. Its will be something new ,something where i going to put myself and my emotions and put it on a paper. Its will be expressionist ala’Adrian.

Week 3: What resources or materials will you need for this project?

 For this task I will need *wood for frames plus cutting machines, screws and screwdrivers or nails and hammer, canvas , watercolour or acrylic paint ,brushes , A2 - A3 sheets of paper , willow charcoal , pencils ,ruler, smartphone , printer, etc.

Draw a picture/Write a sentence/sketch a story/write a dialogue that captures the essence of your project

Essence of the project will be experiments with expressionist style and look in which style I feel the best. 6 paintings on canvas created by me depicts my teammates in various sketches plus 2 sculptures and experiments on A2- A3 sheets.
