Metamorphosis Art Project Proposal

The document is a project proposal about metamorphosis. The student proposes exploring the theme of metamorphosis through depicting the change from a natural to man-made environment. Some potential ideas include showing nature reclaiming an abandoned building with vines or a 3D landscape with trees on cardboard buildings and a frog. The student also discusses several artists as influences, such as William Morris, Antoni Gaudi, and Peter Doig, and materials that could be used, such as acrylic paint, tissue paper, canvas and acetate. The proposed final piece would depict an abandoned building with ivy growing on it to show nature conquering the man-made structure.

Project Proposal

The theme I have chosen is metamorphosis, which basically means the change between two things. For example; the metamorphosis of a caterpillar changing into a butterfly. I have chosen this because the majority of things in life revolve around metamorphosis. Although you could come up with lots of ideas for boundaries and art on words I felt that I could benefit most from doing my project on metamorphosis. My project idea was going to be the change from a natural environment to a man-made one. I thought that for my ideas, I could link the two environments together. For example; a man-made landscape in the distance with a natural landscape at the front. Another one of my ideas was to have vines and ivy growing up an old abandoned building to show nature conquering man-made. My final idea was to make a 3D landscape, with cardboard buildings cut out and trees pained on the buildings with a tissue paper frog on a branch in the foreground. I looked at four different artists during this project. First I looked at William Morris. He did many floral repeat pattern wallpaper designs. I like his work because he uses the natural weaving of plants in his work. I then looked at Antoni Gaudi. I like Gaudis work because he used natural shapes and patterns when designing his buildings. I also looked at Hundertwassers work and like Gaudis work he uses natural shapes; however he uses bright vibrant colours in his work. Finally I looked at Peter Doigs work. He paints natural landscapes in a sort of abstract way but his methods of paintings are very effective. I have used a few different types of media whist experimenting in this project. I have used acrylic paint because I like that you can get solid colour when using it and you can get different textures. I also used tissue paper because I havent used it much before and I can look very effective when used correctly. I also used canvas and acetate; I used these materials because you dont really see these two materials in a piece together. For my final piece I could also use silk screen printing. I could use this method to layer both landscapes. I could also experiment with impressionism for example; painting using dots and dashes like Vincent Van Gogh does in his work. I could also use inks to stain the paper/canvas etc. For my final piece I would like to make a building using canvas, cutting out holes for windows and using acetate to act as glass. I then want to cut jagged shapes from the acetate so it looks the windows have been smashed. I then want to paint the canvas so it looks like a dirty building, and then I want to paint ivy growing up the building using acrylic paint adding texture to the vines.
