Second Layout Plan for Panel 1

 This second layout focuses more on the rose and has a lot of explorations. I can refer back to this in completing the board. 

Very first Layout Plan for Panel 1

 This was my very first original layout plan for panel 1

Before lockdown

This is how my panel 1 was looking before lockdown and developing more series of works

 

Sept 19

 After painting a lot during lockdown, I had this on my panel 1

then... re-shuffled and got stuck on where to put which

Emulations

 Developing Ideas in Emulation

My Kaupapa

kaupapa

 This was my very first page of brainstorming for my Kaupapa. Through painting and research, I have developed my ideas to deeper and more meaningful pieces. 

And this I have developed my ideas further. Now, I need to consider about how I can make series and sequences with my Kaupapa using symbols, narrative, colours, subjects, techniques, etc. All my ideas lead to "love". I care about emotional and mental, the heart and mind. Because I believe that being conscious of your own self, being gentle with yourself, and expressing gratitude in everything makes life beautiful.  

Painting - Series and Sequences

This folio mainly used the colours red and blue and keeping the pieces dark. Using the main subject, a person, using red or blue. It always shows the back, the hands being trapped and helpless, the head or brain suffering from unbearable pain. The third panel shows the subject in a conformed room or space with endless space or limited space. The series of artwork can be seen because of its running theme with colour palette, subject matter and background.  Series of artworks need to link and work together but they don't have to be the same. They tell a story as you move along the panels and has pieces of artwork that work really well together, they have to be together to tell the complete story or for you to understand. Having all the pieces of artworks gives you the total story or purpose of the folio.
