Statement of Intent: (describe the main
ideas, concepts, topics and/or themes that you intend to explore in relation

“The
value of all things centres around how beautiful it is”
In
response to this theme, I intend to explore the concept of the value within life
and how influence can be an integral part in the lifestyle you choose.

Methods, Materials and Processes: (describe what
materials, methods and processes you intend to use)
Throughout the course of the project organisation
will be an essential part to the successful progression and development of the
theme and concept. This will be achieved through the use of a detailed action
plan, highlighting key individual milestones: research, development and
evaluation. My intension is to develop the concept through 2D and 3D work,
working with methods and processes that have been experimented with previously.
My intension is to work with a variety of
materials in order to broaden my development work successfully and coherently
in response to the theme and concept. Working with materials experimented with
previously; paper, glass, ink, paint. Practical experimentation will consist of
drawing, printmaking, embossing and paper work, each one developed and explored
in depth in relation to the project. |

appropriate research, including examples of artists/designers and practical
experimentation, that you intend to undertake)

Expected Outcomes: (describe the main
outcomes that you intend to produce, including key milestones)
The main aims I wish to achieve are to complete the key milestones
that have been stated: research, development and evaluation. Research for the
project will have to be in-depth and go into great detail with regards to the
theme and concept. Within the development stage my aim is to produce a strong
body of work which will illustrate my progression from the initial concept to
the development of the concept and finally on to the final artwork(s). This
will be achieved through extensive development work through a variety of
materials, methods and processes which are relevant to the project but also
to my own specialism. The evaluation process will consist of my statement for
assessment where by I will analysis the methods and processes explored and
their success within the project. The statement for assessment will look at
the project in its entirety, key milestones that were met and also where
there could be room for improvement.

At this stage I am currently under going research into this theme and also into the concept of the project. In response to the theme of values, I began looking into the values of life and ways in which this can be interpretated: what is value and how do we value things? Have been to look further into how we as a society value life and in turn have come across Wabi Sabi : A Japanese way of life.
My aim to progress on to how this can be illustrated and expressed through a collection of artworks.
