3.4 Self Review

Clay Pot.
The artefact I am making is a clay pot. The creative and media industry that my clay pot is linked to is visual arts. The artist I have researched is Grayson Perry. The materials I have used are mainly clay and water. For decoration, I have used tissue paper and glue. My pot is based on my identity. I have drawn things which reflect my identity on the tissue paper and stuck them on my pot. I think that the shape and size of my pot is good because it made it easier for me to finish off. One thing I could improve on was to cover up all the gaps. My drawings on the clay pot were also quite good because they did reflect my identity and show what type of person I am.


Painting.
The artefact I am making is a painting and the artist I have researched is Michael Raedecker. I wrote a short story and used that story to paint the setting of the story. My painting can be used as a backdrop for a play. I used paint, paint brush, water and paper to paint my picture. My story is about a boy who was going to the library after school one day but the route was much different and much longer than usual. The setting of the story is dark, misty and scary. In my painting I have included bats and painted the background dark blue to show that it is dark. I have also painted on trees and a gate to show the entrance to the library. I have painted the library in the middle and painted it small to show that it is far away. The one thing that went well was the way I painted the library because it really shows that the journey was very long and scary. I think that if my painting skills were better, the picture would be much nicer.


Buildings.
The artefact my partner and I have made is buildings. The creative and media industry that my work is linked to is stage design. We have researched on Wafa Hourani to help us with our buildings. We started off by planning ideas on what we wanted our buildings to look like. We thought about the setting and time etc. We decided to make our buildings in the future. We thought about the colours we would use and what would make it more futuristic. We used cardboard to make the buildings and stuck them together using masking tape. We also painted our buildings. The buildings are very colourful because we think that in the future everything will be very bright and colourful. We designed our buildings in abstract shapes because we think that the buildings will look like that in the future. I think that because we worked well in pairs, our work was good but I think we could improve it by adding a billboard with the year written on it to show that it is in the future.


Costume.
The artefact I have made is a costume which can be used for a play or show. The artist I have researched is Elisabeth Lecourt. My costume is a dress made of newspaper. I think that the thing that went well was the design of my dress. But I could improve it by making it neater. I think that if I added more decoration to my costume it would’ve been better.
