FINAL ARTWORK
3/4 view of octopus outcry
TITLE: OCTOPUS OUTCRY
Rationale
"Octopus Outcry" is an artistic concept crafted to resonate with UN SDG 14's
aim to conserve and sustainably utilize the oceans, seas, and marine
resources. It serves as a visual metaphor for the plight of marine life
entangled in the surge of oceanic plastic waste. Utilizing play dough for
the octopus and incorporating everyday waste materials like straws and
bubble wrap, the piece speaks to the invasion of these pollutants in marine
habitats as well as showing how I was inspired by the washed ashore work
where sculptures are made from the trash found in the seas.
Design principles evident include emphasis on the central octopus figure,
movement through the sprawling tentacles, and texture contrast between the
clay, plastic, and the trash bag background. This artwork aims to confront
the viewer with the urgent need for action against marine pollution
REFLECTION
What have I learnt in this module?
I learnt the importance in learning and understanding each design principle
as well as learning how to apply it appropriately to design in order to
create visually interesting work
What did I enjoy the most?
I enjoyed making the sculpture and finding ways to create variety and
movement in my artwork. I also enjoyed creating something physical as I have
not had the opportunity to do that so far in this degree.
What did I not enjoy the most?
I did not enjoy watching the lectures to some degree as I tend to lose
interest when watching lecture videos. I also tend to not enjoy the process
of documenting my design process on the eportfolio but I do understand and
appreciate the need for it as whoever reads my work can follow and
understand my design process.
What have I learnt about myself through this module?
I have noticed that I get my good ideas at night and work best at night. I
also learnt that I enjoy making physical artwork and challenging myself in
doing something different.
What has changed and what has not in my learning journey?
I feel like I now enjoy experimenting more and not limiting myself and doing
easier artworks but actually exploring other mediums and I have noticed that
I still tend to procrastinate to some degree and I need to improve in that
area.
What could be improved in this module?
I think in person lectures would be better or finding a way to learn the
design principles in a more interactive way to ensure a good comprehension
of the principles.
