Development

My Visual Arts course this year will be focussed on design. I've been in Art for as long as I can remember and now I am going into a new type of art which I am very excited to get underway.  I think design will be a bit of a challenge for me since I am just getting into the use of digital media for artworks. My kaupapa this year is based on spiritual/cultural development. I love representing Maori culture in my art and wish to do something based on it again this year. My culture is central to who I am.

I have gone through the artists in my theme from the matrix on Ako and created my mood board here:
(There is also a second copy of my mood board so you can follow the hyperlinks and view it better. It should be just under this post)

From my mood board, I have decided on Alfonse Mucha , Sagmeister and Walsh and Maui Studios. as my artist models for 2.1/ These artists will also help me get started with 2.2 which is also going to be the start of my folio.

My kaupapa based on this theme is looking like this:

These brainstorms are based on random ideas of what my potential subject matter could be and what they represent. The other is based on my chosen theme which is spiritual/cultural development and how I could possibly show it.

Here is a development page that helped me understand subjects and theme more:
