FMP Evaluation.

Throughout the final major project, my objectives were to explore a wide range of ideas and concepts within my chosen area, which was Generosity. I feel that I did this eventually, but I got stuck in a rut at the start and couldn’t move on from the Organ Donation idea and just kept looking at every possible aspect of this concept. I then eventually moved onto looking at other ideas but I feel I left this far too late, resulting in me not exploring my chosen area as broadly as I first wanted too. 

Primary Research was really hard for me to obtain but thankfully I managed to take photos of my Parents giving blood and then moving on from that I dissected a Heart which was probably the most interesting part of the project for me, by doing this I managed to create some primary drawings and take photos which are part of my final piece. 

This has probably been one of my hardest projects to get into during my foundation degree, but it has been the most interesting. During this project I have had many ups and downs, I really struggled to come up with any ideas for my final piece and like I said previously, I found it hard to move on from the Organ Donation idea and explore other ideas, if I’d had more time I would of liked to explore the love concept a lot more and how people can be generous with there love within family’s and relationships. I feel that I explored with a lot of different media during my FMP, I especially enjoyed the sewing workshop and decided that I would use sewing in a lot of my work and even in my final piece for my labels. I decided to produce 3 A2 posters for my Organ donation idea these were the annoyance of my project every time I produced a poster I just didn’t like it and couldn’t work out what it was that I didn’t like about it, but I finally produced a series of posters that I liked after scanning them into Photoshop and changing the layout dramatically and then moved on to recreating the Photoshoped one into a hand painted and collaged poster. I also decided to create 3 Jars filled with 3D Organs that I’d created using paper Mache although they looked very creative I think the way I painted these really let the piece down, but I really think the hand stitched labels really worked for them. I found it hard painting my padlocks at first with paint because it just wouldn’t stay on and kept rubbing off so I decided to paint them with nail vanish which took longer then expected because I had to wait so long for the nail vanish to dry but I eventually got them done, I think I should have possibly thought about the colours more though so that they went better with my other work.

All in all I have really enjoyed this project it was most defiantly a struggle but I am pleased with my final outcome although I don’t think it is some of my best work I am still pleased with what I have produced.
