Final Major Project

Here are my initial thoughts for my final major project. A snapshot of London life through observational drawings of queues!

My initial thoughts on this project are to continue down the investigative route of observational drawings of people – I am fortunate enough to have travelled widely and have always had a fascination for  ‘people watching’ and for  ‘watching the world go by’ – not to be misconstrued as nose-iness!

It was suggested to me that I could research drawings of everyday people going about their business, maybe in queues or queuing.I would find this a very interesting study, as personally, I have a complete lack of patience and would avoid queuing at all costs.I would research this project by drawing/studying ‘queuing’ in a multitude of environments from bus stops, airports, to traffic jams, supermarkets, etc. I would like to gain an even deeper understanding of observational drawings of people through the following research;

-       Desk-based internet research –

-       A study of more observational artists

-       Visit the National portrait gallery

-       Visits to airports, stations etc

-       That’s Novel/Comica Events exhibition

I will document and present my on-going research through a blog and portfolio – supported by research scrapbook and sketch books. I have not yet planned out who the audience will be. I am aiming for the outcomes of my research to dictate who the audience will be and the ‘vehicle’ of which my drawings will take.

I have been influenced by many of the observational artists that have been mentioned thus far in my illustration studies such as Matthew Cooke , Beryl Cooke, Jack Vittriano, are my two favourite artists.

I have not yet decided how I will be presenting my final work. My intension is that this will be informed through the initial development of this project.

I would like to investigate innovative ways in which my research findings and information is best portrayed through illustration.
