Kia ora and welcome to the start of my progress for my level 3 design art portfolio. On the first day of art we had a brainstorm of what we care and about and to pick our theme for the year. I have chosen Spiritual / cultural development because I care deeply about my identity and my culture. Using these as a starting point I came to the conclusion that I should do my art board based around rongoa (Maori medicinal medicine). I have a lot of resources inside and outside of kura and therefore I will have sufficient knowledge of the topic. Below is a planning page and the start of my rongoa research page. I also picked 2 artist models that would compliment my board and idea. Then below them is my mood board of different artist in my chosen theme. This helps me pick which artists influence would look beneficial on my board. Using this portfolio I could use this as a starting point for a potential business with Maori medicinal medicine. The style of composition and use of contrast is beautiful and would fit well with the earthy elements my board will hold. Because rongoa is mostly pant based the style of art that William Morris uses with repetitive leaves and etc would be aesthetic and relates to the topic directly.

Kia ora Michelle, Te oo mai reia sounds like a really interesting concept to design around. It is not well known to pākehā, so there is scope to use this board as an awareness campaign as well as a business opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThe William Morris element is a useful connection to make. Have you made any pen or pencil drawings just as field notes in reference to this? I think that would be useful to have in the background, even if you don't end up using them. i.e. draw from the logo you already have and apply a William Morris look and feel (gestalt) to it.
