On the 10th June, our work was presented in St. Mary's
Church exhibition, this day was a private evening for friend and family to
attend as well as our teachers in sharing the celebration of our first exhibit
of our work. We each got a board that was about 1m by 2m to present out work
on. My canvas was hung up with 2 mirror plates which I bought beforehand to
prepare my presentation. An electric was used to drill in the screws through
the mirror plates to hold up my work. My final piece was hung up in the centre
of my board on the left-hand side. I then positioned 6 sheets of card around it
(above, below and to the right of it) with Velcro (easily taken down) which had
my 63 squares mounted on them. I made sure my work was evenly spaced out on the
board and that each drawing was easily noticeable for the audience when viewing
it. I was happy with how my work was presented on the board and was glad I
finished it all in time for the day. My display board looked a lot better to me
than my original display plan (which I drew out quickly a week before) and I’m
very happy with how the day went.
I brought my parents and one of my friends with me to look
at my work and other students work in the class. They were very impressed with
my exhibition and a lot of people were crowding around my board so I was very
pleased. There were a few other students in the exhibition in my class that had
amazing work which caught my eye and a lot of people who visited the exhibition
were admiring their work. I chose two of my favourite exhibits - that were the
most colourful and caught my eye – to analyse for ‘critical studies’ – part of
Unit 9. I took photographs of my work with my Samsung phone as evidence for my
blog and evaluation to show how my exhibit looked.
The best thing about my work/exhibit was how
detailed my drawings were and colourful & bold they are. They must be eye
catching and admirable as everyone visiting the exhibition went over to my
exhibit and there was always someone looking at it so it took a while for me to
take the pictures for my blog – I waited for people to leave beforehand. I am
happy with my work, I feel like it resembled animal freedom as it was meant to
and I am proud of how it came out. I wish I could have done a bigger final
piece or made it look more realistic and in the style of my chosen artist
‘Johnn Banovich’. My final piece is 2 birds flying around outside an open cage
at mid-day; the full moon is out and around it are the words ‘freedom’. Part of
the letter ‘M’ in the work freedom represents a silhouette of a bird flying
away. There are several small silhouettes of birds flying around in the sky and
a lot of nature all around e.g. tree branches, grass, a flower etc. which I
mostly got from my primary research. I made it very colourful and peaceful –
birds represent freedom more than any other animal I feel – so I am very happy
of my choice of what I drew. Overall I feel my FMP was a success and am very
happy with the outcome and feedback people have given me about my work.
