More or less done!

more or less finalised the painting part...but as you can see...plastic bag hasn't been touched up yet...

Sneak preview~

sneak preview of final work...just randomly took photos to see how is the effect xD

painted a plastic bag...didnt take quite long but made some changes to it the following days to sharpen the contrast/create the reflective effect...haha for that look out for it in the final product picture...i didnt take a closeup on it o.O

A trolley of bananas...whooo i nearly went bananas painting this-.- and sort of fell asleep for 5mins or sth o.O

and a single bunch of bananas!!!

Final adjustments...

haha just thought it is fun to keep a record of the exploration of where to stick the objects xD also notice that some adjustments are made to the tone of some objects to sharpen the contrast and details xD

Final statement...(edited from previous one)

I intend to develop my ideas on the reference theme of "Evolution", which I want to show the evolution of provision shops in past, present and future.

What motivates me to work on this idea was firstly, because of the idea of contrast between the old and the new and also to do works associated with sketchings and paintings. Secondly, I felt that it is a meaningful thing to venture into the past, which people of our generation do not have many chances to do so, thus having little awareness of how things were like in the past.

It is also interesting to use my own imagination to create what is expected of the future, based on current technology developments. The models can be used to clearly contrast the distinctive differences in technology and facilities development around us.

I chose the idea of a provision shops as they are one of the places which are changing and developing rapidly over a few decades, faster than other places. Throughout the developments of the provision shops, many aspects of them were changed. In terms of manpower, furnishings,
renovations, products packaging and even the shop owner-customer relationship, they contrast greatly between the past and present, and I suppose that the provision shop will continue evolving at a fast rate.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT~~~~

RESEARCHHHHHH~~boards :D

yayy finally the coursework journey is ending soon...final product is done and all sorts xD one whole year of efforts :D

here are the research boards in chronological order...concept development parts in next post...sorry for bad photography skills...im bad at using touchphones-.-

first board: newspaper articles and pictures + artist statement...nothing much just an intro to the project xD

2. research on the olden days part...pictures of pencil drawn/printed images of objects present in the olden days shops...we dont really see them nowadays anymorev D: maybe some of them we still do, like the weighing machine etc. but getting rare...

3. research on modern day provision shops, mini marts, super marts etc. more wastage of materials in terns of packaging. makes use of more advanced technology.


4. research on future. higher awareness on being environmentally friendly and makes use of even more advanced technology...less manpower and more machines= less interaction between people.(aww)


5. research on collage work by other artists + research on details of images for painting...and the chinese calligraphy fonts!!! found this website that helps to convert characters inteo calligraphy fonts. cooool xD
