Task 1 – Part 1

What do you want to achieve over the final 8 weeks on the

Foundation Programme?

Please respond to the questions below as a starting point. This

document is a Prop/Prompt for you and your developed answers
should be loaded as a scribd document in an appropriate position
on your Weebly site. You will update this proposal as you move
through the project, do not delete initial statements, add a date
each time you add a new statement to a particular section.

The final document should be loaded to your Weebly by the 6th of

May.

Question 1
Reflect on your work you've created so far and consider on how your use of materials,
tools, techniques and processes reflect the broader ideas and message that you are interested to
convey.

What materials, tools, techniques and processes have you used and how can you employ a broader
range of materials and techniques to explore your theme in Module 3?

A lot of my work has been 2D watercolour and coloured pencil work. I have also done a
small amount of 3D work with my box project and creative costuming modules. In module
3 I would like to go down a sculptural route to explore the theme and broaden my use of 3
dimensional techniques.

Question 2
Reflect upon the audience and method of dissemination for your work.

What does it communicate and who is it communicating to? What does it offer to the
viewer/customer/client and their lifestyle? Where will the work be situated? How can you market
your work?

I would like my work to communicate to a wide variety of people and give them an insight
into my thoughts about the world. I also hope that my work can bring some entertainment
into people’s lives. A lot of my previous work has been books or comics that could be kept
in people’s homes. I could market my work by creating some social media accounts so a
wider audience could discover my work.
Question 3
We make, design, and produce work to be shared, and to elicit a reaction or provoke a response.

What response would you like to provoke in your Audience/Client/Viewer/User? Are you the kind of
designer/artist/producer who aims to disrupt - to entertain or to question? Is your work ironic,
playful, educational or political? Use this space to think about the response of your target audience
on viewing your work - how do you want them to react? What is an ideal response?

I would like my work to be either educational or political. I want the viewer to enjoy my
work but also understand the comment I am making through the work and hopefully this
will lead them to think more deeply about the world.

Task 1 – Part 1

What is your Project Concept?

In previous projects, we have focused on outcomes or objects, for this module we

are expecting you to design an investigation and for this to lead to an appropriate
outcome/object which embraces your specialism and matches your burgeoning
ambition.
Please outline the project themes - and the ideas that you wish to explore. Focus on the meaning
behind the work rather than processes, materials or skills. (There is a space for this information
further on in the document) This is a short module - so it is critical that you make a swift decision and
commit to an investigation early. We know that this is hard - but push yourself and work to get to the
making, design and production stage with confidence.

I want to investigate animals in the city and how urbanisation effects nature, changing how
these animals live from how they would in their natural environment, I specifically want to
focus on foxes.

Please give an overview of the project here.

What will your work look like? What technologies/tools/equipment/processes will you use?

A chicken wire sculpture of a fox on a wooden pallet base. I will use wire cutters to cut the
wire and my own hands (wearing leather gauntlets) to shape it. It will be filled with
recycled materials (i.e. paper, plastic bags, cans) that my flat has produced over the last
year.
What skills will you need to develop in order to complete the work?
What will you need to learn? What existing strengths do you have that can help you to succeed?

Sculptural skills – already have some experience with 3D work from ceramics classes at
school and making a small Modroc sculpture last module.
Time management – need to make sure I stay on top of my time management in order to
not fall behind so I can pass the module.

What will you do to sustain your practice and to develop your motivation,
understanding and confidence?
This focus of this question is your research practice - what has already inspired, informed and
influenced you? How can you push yourself beyond your comfort zone here?

Lots of research of photos of foxes and some research of how urbanisation effects animals
in the city. I have been getting lots of inspiration from the photographer Sam Hobson and
his Bristol fox photography. By making a sculpture I am pushing beyond my comfort zone
as I typically work in 2D illustrations.

Task 1 – Part 2

This is a short module - and scheduling your activity and planning out your production arc will help to
ensure that you keep the project on track, with time to make a quality artefact for the exhibition. The
best project concept in the world will not lead to a successful outcome without good, pragmatic
planning. Remember, gathering or "procuring" materials will take time - and supplier availability and
high costs will slow you down and impact on your ability to make work. You must factor this into your
schedule. A prohibitively high cost on a particular material or item may prompt you to investigate a
more easily sourced and cheaper alternative, which can improve your carbon footprint - and
improve the "sustainability" of the project.

Resources, Services and Tools - What will I need and what steps
must be taken to ensure access and availability?
What do you think you will need to complete the project? How can you begin to negotiate access and
co-ordinate your making with availability?

Resource - Service or Tool How do I access/acquire What additional understanding,

(Add to the list as you this? expenditure or skill do I need to
progress) exploit this resource well?
 Wire cutters Provided in the studio Knowledge of how to use these safely
(already have)

Sustainability
Use this page to identify aspects of your project relating to sustainability, unnecessary waste, and
environmental concerns. What might you do to manage this and reduce your impact? If you can’t
manage it directly, could you take action to offset your carbon footprint? How will you plan for the end
of life of your object/s, how will you remove it from the studio at the end of the exhibition and how will
you recycle and dispose of it? What is the recycling / disposal protocol for the materials you are
using? How is this affected once you combine materials together?

I want as much of my project as possible to be made from recycled materials in order to

reduce impact on the environment. At the end of its life I plan to take it home and recycle
all the materials inside of the sculpture and then my mother would like to keep the empty
chicken wire fox as a decoration for her garden. I plan to either pass the pallet onto
someone else who would like to use it for a project or use it myself as an interesting
surface to paint on (it could also possibly be used by my Dad in his community allotment
project at home).

Task 1 – Part 2

Project Budget
Please list below any cost or expenditure associated with your project. The aim here is to identify
the actual cost of the work you have made, rather than the projected cost of a proposed outcome.
You do not need to list those materials that are freely available in the studios (paper/pencils/acrylic
paint etc) but do include more specific materials such as fabric, wood, superglue, neoprene etc. You
can add to this list as you progress through the project.

Centre

The Exhibition and planning for it is a key part of this module and must be considered alongside your
own emerging project. What are you going to exhibit? How should it be presented? How have other
creatives presented similar work? Research is key to help you to identify formats, conventions, and
approaches to sharing your outcome.

My planned outcome is best described as...

(Think about how the work will be created rather than how it will be shared or exhibited)

Yes No Not sure

(Maybe)
Traditional 2D (Drawing, Painting, Collage using real
tools/surfaces/materials)
Digital 2D - (Images produced using digital tools such as
procreate/photoshop etc.

Photography (Traditional or digital)

3D Sculptural or Decorative object

3D Functional or Practical Object

Moving image piece - live action, Animation or Experimental hybrid.

Virtual piece - (Augmented reality, 3D modelled object etc)

Performance Based Piece

Installation piece

Design, Client Brief or Pitch.

Design layout sheet or schematic.

In terms of Physical scale my anticipated outcome will be...

Small Scale – Smaller than a teapot – bigger than a breadbox.

Medium Scale – Bigger than a breadbox - smaller than a bicycle.
Large Scale – Bigger than a bicycle - Smaller than a garden shed.
A collection or Series
Unknown/undefinable

In terms of its digital footprint my anticipated outcome will be...

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image less than a minute long

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image between one minute and five minutes
long
A “Platform” virtual Piece requiring its own computer.
A Projected piece requiring a computer and projector
Other – Please specify

In the context of planning the end of year exhibition is your piece

best described as…

A 2D piece of work fixed to a flat wall.

A 3D piece of work suspended from a secure

point in the ceiling.

A large floor mounted 3D object

A small 3D object displayed on a table or plinth.

A moving image sequence which could be part

of a showreel.

A virtual tool or artefact accessed through a

computer, tablet or smart phone.

What will need to be in place in order for you to complete your final
piece and to achieve your ambition and aims?

Materials, good references, time management, pre-planned structure so it actually looks

like a fox.

Project Planning and Scheduling

You cannot pass this module without completing a schedule. You must complete a realistic project
schedule in order to pass the module. An additional and more detailed day by day schedule on your
website will enhance your submission, but you must complete this one first.

What are the Health and Safety risks associated with my
chosen pipeline, workflow or exhibition method?
You must pick at least three and go on to explain the steps that you will take to ensure your own
safety and that of the people around you while working on the project. Evidence that you have
researched how this is managed in the creative industries AND applied it to your own situation
will enhance your submission.

Please note that while some substances may not be toxic or harmful, they may still have an
adverse impact on your peers. You will need to discuss any materials not already in regular use
in the studio with your tutor.
