All Final 2 detailing and side-angle photographs.

As I have been unable to add my sketchbook pages in to my previous posts, I am going to put them in now chronologically.

Finished Final 2 piece. I was originally going to do a triptych, but I decided against it as it would have been too messy and uncoordinated. I ended up making two canvases, one mostly painting and the other mostly mixed media collage.

I made the clouds of each flow into one another, so that the overall piece looks like a land with a vast sky above it. The land with my childhood self propped up on a rock is meant to represent what I may have imagined my minagination to physically look like as a child, with many inspirations such as nature, flowers and my own childhood drawings. This contrasts with the large painted sky, which represents how I see the physical embodiment of the imagination through my minds eye as an adult - clouds and shimmering glass, translucent and reflective.

Mini collages.

Here I have continued with the theme of what a child’s imagination looks like, in its relation to Symbolic play and imaginary games.

Larger collages.

Here I have been making paper and mixed media collages surrounding the idea of a child’s imagination, which is the core concept for Symbolic Play.

I have tried to use colours and imagery that I remember liking from my own childhood, as well as some of my own childhood drawings and writing. I want to embrace the idea of what the inside of a child ‘s imagination looks like, and I will be relating this to my own experience and how my imagination has stuck with me all the way through to adulthood.

Gathering my thoughts in a mind map.

I am currently trying to work on a Final 2 idea, and I needed to gather my thoughts in order to come up with a final piece with relevant conceptual underpinning.

I like the idea of creating an image that represents a child’s imagination, which is the core concept that is needed in order to partake in Symbolic Play.
