Rather than complete two individual sheets, on two different artists, I have decided to two sheets of two different pieces by the same artist. Schwitters work fascinates and intrigues me so much so.
Sheet number one, is a mixed media contextual study, of the sculpture entitled Chicken & Egg, which was completed in 1946. Sheet number two is also a mixed media
contextual study, of the sculpture entitled Mother & Egg, which was completed over the years 1945-7.
The sheets were completed as a method of exploring the work of another artist who overserved the topic, which I am currently in the process of interpreting. The sheets were also completed an a visual analysis of Schwitters style of work.
When completing these sheets, I first sketched out the a guidance outline. From these guidance outlines I then applied Paper Mache, paper and acrylic for the first sheet and green wool, black sugar and paper tissue collaged and cardboard-both corrugated and un-corrugated cardboard for the second sheet.
Noting that on this second sheet -I gave it a personal twist-by contrasting the original sculptures colours. Where the sculpture was white-I collaged black, where the sculpture was red-I applied green wool as textured relief. The studies were produced from images printed form the Tate website. This colour twist was a visual element that I felt was the most effective, as well a highly successful one. The cardboard boarder on two of the four sides of the second study, were because I felt that the sheet wasn't finished without those.
I feel that the first study was one I was most pleased with in terms of presentation standards. And the second sheet, is the one that I could improve-from a presentation perspective.
From completing these two sheets I feel that I have developed my abilities in the production of relief and collage based abstract works. And to build upon these works, I have produced a critical analysis of a piece of Schwitters work-in the format of a blog entry, and furtherly explored a second artist in this blogged format. As well as this, both artist have researched and Harvard referenced artist information, that gives an insight into each artist.
