The Brief

After being given the initial brief of 'Visual Stories', I brainstormed ideas that would hopefully be useful when I needed to research into artists and ideas related to outcomes for my project. I quickly realised that this project would need to have a personalised element within the work in order for the project to be successful,something that I was keen to explore through the visualization of personal family stories. I like the idea of using meaningful objects such as photos and keepsakes within my work, as it makes it possible to expand ideas and further explore the idea of visual stories in connection with my family. The idea of collage and trapping memories within my art creates a more personal project; I could do this by using a variety of techniques and mixed media to really layer up the stories. To make work even more personal I would like to incorporate pieces like letters to really inspire further work and make sure it's a reflection of my life personally. This title will let me explore the works of artists that I enjoy and techniques that I love to use. Using collage and mixed media is something that I would really like pursue in my work as I believe it allows me to emphasise certain elements and creates visually appealing and busy samples. I like that this project brief allows me to go in a variety of different areas and that I can explore work that appeals to me.
