1. My brief 1:
Is to create a mix media painting of my own myth for an exhibition. It needs to attract
any age of audience and should include a back story on what my myth has been
through. It will be put up in display at the ‘Painted Hall’ in Greenwich (Old Royal Naval
College).
My Brief 2:
Is to create an illustration of different historical figures for children at the age of ten.
This will be displayed in library's for children to read.
2. Initial Idea 1: Illustration On Different
Historical Figures
With this idea I thought that I could do something like a
story book for children who are in Primary School as
they might not know about different Historical Figures
and I would like to educate them. They will have images
of them as well as some facts about their life and what
they have done. I want to make this as interesting for
young children as I believe that they will be more
intrigued if it has colour and a few facts.
3. Initial Idea 2: Illustration about Star
Constellations and How Both Places Link
Together
With this idea I thought about the Star Constellation as Sir
James Thornhill, who painted the painted hall, did a
painting with Star Constellations and I found that
interesting. I also found out that there is a clock that
helped everyone know what the time is, which is located in
Greenwich. My client will be for anyone who is interested
in time and a bit of history as this helps people understand
how people told the time in the past. Illustration was the
first thing that came to mind as it is an easy way, but
interesting way to explain/show the audience what I am
talking about.
4. Initial idea 3: Creating My Own Myth
I started to look at different Historical figures as I wanted an idea of
how I can start and create my own myth. Each myth has their own
characteristics and also their own looks and that’s one thing I would
have in mind if I would choose this idea. With creating my own myth
I was thinking about do a multi-media piece of artwork as I want it to
be eye-catching and not just using one media. This idea came from
the Old Royal Naval College as in the Painted Hall I saw people who
had wings and that is a type of Historical Figure. Then I looked at Sir
James Thornhill even more as I wanted to see what else he has done
and that is where I came across a painting with Pegasus, so that’s how
I came up with the idea of creating my own myth.
