MEDIUM//MATERIAL CHANGES


Throughout my project I have planned to use different printing techniques (lino/screen/mono) to develop and practice with, also to create full finished pieces. My final major piece I had planned to print myself using one of these methods, I had also planned to use the book binding workshop to help me produce my own comic fully created and combined by myself.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances I am unable to access any of the workshops or resources available to me before at the time of planning this project and writing my brief.

Therefore I am having to drastically change my process of producing my final piece and my plans to explore these methods as practice and other resources I had planned to use. I will begin to experiment with different mediums and processes I have available to me, such as: 
  •  Paints (acrylic/gouache)
  •  Home printing methods
  •  Digital design/editing
  •  Drawing inks
  •  Collage 
  •  Brusho
I will experiment and explore different possibilities with these materials/mediums and develop techniques I can use for my project. I will document my experience with these mediums and take note of which produce a preferred outcome for my specific needs and also which I feel most comfortable using and would like to progress with throughout the project.

HOME PRINTING 00

Exploring different methods of printing at home. I have experimented with different methods of printing using minimal resources. Using a stencil made from paper, I covered it with black drawing ink and used it as a sort of stamp to create the prints. The more prints I did the strength of the mark would fade over time and therefore lost shape. This method created quite a lot of leakage from the stencil and created a very rough outline, so I experimented with doing it the opposite way by cutting out the areas I would colour and use the empty space as my line. I used black and red drawing ink with a paint brush to create these. The stencil afterwards when painted with ink I think is very effective and creates an interesting dry, sharp look. I took scans of these also. I enjoyed this method and really like the red contrasting with the black. I did the same method however this time I cut away all of the negative space to print so I was just left with a stencil of ...

I really love the aesthetic of these images, but I also think they are very powerful statements at the same time. After I created this design I became aware of the similarities of a child soldier. I created these images by repeating my original design packed tightly in a pattern. I think this strongly represents a mass of nameless child soldiers still fighting in parts of the world and I think this also prompts the idea that we never fully know the extent of these problems as there are always hidden numbers and the majority of these lives go unseen and just become part of the mass.
