My Kaupapa is about reality of life, showing relationships/connections and love, and how we have limited time for these things on earth. The reality of life is a hard pill to swallow and slaps on the face, there is pain and sorrows but also there is joy and beauty in it. All these elements makes up each lives, seeing the colours of a rainbows on a grey sky after the rain, there is good and bad, and light and dark. These contrasts helps us see that there is life. I will be using contrast to show my kaupapa and other elements, too.
Just like how I use negative spaces to show positive spaces. The blanks spaces of my painting, the negative spaces, are the dark spaces.
 |
| These negative spaces perceives the darkness around the rose. The rose symbolising love, has darkness surrounding it. But the rose overcomes this darkness 'Love overcomes'. Within the rose, there are also negative spaces which displays how love can turn dark and has negative elements also. These dark spaces enables us to see that there is positive spaces. In love, we can see that there is bad because we know what is good. |
 |
| Bubbles give joy and awakens the our child-spirit. These bubbles are floating around in an empty space, representing lives in a given time. Bubbles don't last long, just like our life, we don't know when it's gonna pop, sometimes we decide to just pop it out. These bubbles are surrounded by negative space, and has also a negative space inside it. Underneath the white lines, is a space. Bubbles are fragile, so if life. But it is beautiful and enjoyable, the highlights on the bubbles shows that our lives has highlights, it goes around and also has shadows. These bubbles have different sizes because lives are all different, some last long but others don't. |
The ART OF PROCESS IN ART
 |
| I've started this painting but decided that the triangles on the background won't work how I want it to since I am only using one colour, white, and it shouldn't show any depth. I still want to use my negative spaces and with this, I can't show it much. |
 |
| I've developed another idea of geometrical triangles on the background to show the spikes and thorns that are part of the roses. These triangles are created by the white lines and they are filled with negative space, dark space only. The pain that comes with the rose, aka the pain that comes with love. |
Plan on Monday:
-Paint realistic rose on a flat background of geometric triangles
-Come up with another thumbnail progressing from my ideas and finished paintings based on my kaupapa. If possible, start painting it.
-Ask for feedbacks from Mrs Clemence
