Put on a spread project research
During specialism, I have explored the concept of healing by sharing my experience in hospital due to having frequent asthma attacks in the Radio project. I found the medium of sound very effective when telling my experience as there are so many sounds relating to the hospital and sickness in general. There is also the unmistakable inhaler sound that is very specific to asthma. I wish to build upon this project during FMP by interviewing my parents not only because I cannot recall most of what happened, but also gives an insight into what it was like from their perspective.
Although I had difficulty with it at first, I wish to utilise stop motion animation in my FMP because it creates the more character and materiality than digital animation. I feel like digital animation would suit the more impersonal areas, where as the materiality is needed to create more personal details.
I wish to also somehow incorporate rubber stamping as again, it’s material nature would lend itself quite well in the subject.

I really enjoyed using ink to block out large spaces, as it made me consider negative space in a way that I hadn’t before. For the whole project, I felt as though I was learning how to draw again, which was both a good and bad thing because I feel as though I really don’t know how to draw anymore however I’m starting to develop... something. Before when I looked at my work, I couldn’t really differentiate myself from other people but now I’m seeing hints of myself in my illustrations. On my independent day, I used my journey to and from Kingston to do some observational drawing. The day started like a complete nightmare because I foolishly left my folder of materials on the bus, but luckily I had only done a handful of small drawings. At this point I felt pretty low but I went home, collected myself, found some more paper and went out again. Overall I’m happy with my observational drawings, although I wish I had done more.
