Evaluation

This project has had many ups and downs and I think if I did this project again I would have started it earlier and researched certain artists in more detail. I loved the ITC element of the course and that’s why I have used it in my final piece however I don’t think I have used it nearly as much as I should have done. I enjoyed how task like the sensory walk unlocked creativity in me and how it also highlighted Richard Long a artist that I would not have discovered if it wasn’t for the task set. I feel the topic that I chose says allot about me personally however I did learn allot more about ambition than I thought I would. Although I would do certain things differently if I did this project again I would defiantly do allot of things the same. This project has been fun yet also really educational.

My art project

I have decided to base my project in visual communication around ambition and how it is ever changing and always present in our lives. In Short my project is the transition of ambition. So for example when I was one years old all I wanted was attention from my mum and the rest of my family, when I was four years old all I wanted to be was a fire man like my hero fireman Sam, when I was eight years old all I wanted was to be a footballer like my ideal Fabrizio Ravanelli (he secretly still is my hero) and so on and so forth until present day were my ambition is to become a primary school teacher just like my mum. I have used a lot of family photos of myself in my project as a photograph captures reality and the camera never lies. What interesting is do we ever really move on from are ambitions? I don’t really still want to be a fireman but I still want a lot of attention from my family, I also kind of still want to be Fabrizio Ravanelli secretly.
