Evaluation

Throughout this FMP project we had to about freedom and do a 63 page book 10x10cm of different types of freedom(like the Magna Carta as it has 63 chapters. The Magna Carta is  a charter of liberties to which the English barons forced King John to give his assent in June 1215 at Runnymede. : a document constituting a fundamental guarantee of rights and privileges. also through this project we had to create a final piece of what we thought freedom was.

I personally think this project went really well as I've got everything completed before deadline due to me going on holiday 12th may- 21st may. I started off doing my 63 pages and completed them in the first few weeks even though some weren't really up to standard I did get them done, the media I used on all the 63 pages were, acrylic paint, coloured pencil, water colours, I also sew into some pages, I also used biro pen and permanent markers and finally pen and water.

After I had done the 63 pages I had so many ideas what to do for my final piece I ended up starting a 2 and finishing them and didn't use them for my final piece them because I didn't feel asif they were really up to standard for a final piece. so I ended up using them as a development pages aswell as my pervious development sheets which I completed for my animal rights, since that's what I was aiming for my final piece and throughout this FMP project.

The use of media I used was a large variety but I believe I could've used it a lot better as I did rush my work. but I believe I worked very well with acrylic paint and coloured pencil.

In all honest I think I managed my time management quite well as I had to hand in my work 2 weeks early, I do feel asif I did rush abit but I wanted to get it all complete so I didn't get a referral.

I think my final piece went really well to say I only had a few ours to start and complete it, I decided to keep to my theme and do a person eye with birds and butterflies surrounding it to show animal rights. The media I used on this was water ink and coloured pencil and different shades of pencil and finally water colour. I personally think all my drawing skills and use of media contrasted really well.

My overall thought on this project are quite good, I feel asif it was a very good project to focus on because we did get to learn some new facts e.g. about the Magna Carta and about the different types of freedom. I really enjoyed this project aswell because we got left to write our own project proposal aswell as choosing our own questions for the evaluation. Even though it was a challenge I got it complete and im really proud

Butterfly eye

Media used 
-water colour pencils 
-water colours 
-colour pencils 
-black biro 
-shading pencils 

This was another piece of my development work and I decided to stick to this idea throughout my whole project even though I did have so many different types of ideas. This was a class peers eye with butterflies and birds to represent freedom. 
 
The pro's of this was I had a very good idea what I wanted to do for my final piece and I used my time management very well.
 
The con's of this development was that I had only used basic shading and coloured pencil and didn't really spend the time perfecting it to my standard. But I did put the time and effort into my final piece that came out extremely better than this piece of work.
 

Animal


The start of my final developments 
I wanted to do half human and half animal as then I could interpret that hunting should be banned. But I couldn't add as much delete so I also scrapped this idea aswell. 

Development


The media I chose to use on this development was 6B, HB, B shading pencils. I  wanted to base my final piece on butterflies so I interpreted this and did add  butterflies as well as birds for my final piece.

Development


 
The media used on this piece of development work was water colour. On this piece of work I tried to develop my water colour skills and try to blend them and make it look very vibrant and colourful, but one of my weak medias I struggle to use is water colour, so I did struggle on mixing the different colours, but this was only a development piece showing my creativity and ideas I may have used for my final piece.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Eyes


The media I used for these were:
-Coloured pencil
-Shading pencils
-Water colour
 
I started doing these eyes to show my development of drawing eye skills because for my final piece I did a giant eye, so I wanted to experiment and try different types of media which on my final piece I did include all three of these medias as I thought they'd work really well. But using them separate on 3 pieces of card didn't work that well as they look very dull and not that good to present, but they worked extremely good when all put together. The 3 types of media contrasted really well with each other.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The final piece



This is my final piece. 

Media used-
-Water Ink
-colour pencils 
-water colours
-different shades of pencils
-A2 piece of white cartridge paper

For my final piece I decided to keep to my original idea which was interpreting a class peers eye and using different types of butterflies and birds as silhouette's  surrounding the eye to show freedom.
 
Firstly I applied water ink around the paper to give me a vibrant back ground, I then started to draw the outline of my eye and the birds and butterflies. Thirdly I then started adding colour pencil to the pupil and eye etc. Lastly, I used water colour to neaten the pupil and started the shading, erasing the lighter areas.
 
Throughout doing this final piece I did have many different ideas I wanted to explore but I decided to keep to this idea because it was my first initial idea.
 
The pro's of this final piece was that, I knew exactly what I was doing. I had all my primary information and secondary information as well; finally I did mix and use my media correctly throughout this as it was very important to get a 100% right as I didn't want to fail.
 
The con's of this final piece are I didn't really manage my time management as I did try to challenge my self too much and I did work on too small of a scale as I used A2, hypothetically speaking I think I should of really used an A1 piece of cartridge paper.
