Learning Outcomes and Evidence
Learning Outcome 1
My evidence demonstrates a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach that combines traditional and digital media, exploring the dynamic relationship between controlled and chance elements in artistic expression:
In Progress | 150 x ~400 cm | charcoal, acrylic on paper (probably far away from final result)
Artistic Philosophy and Practice
- I avoid any symbols
This post represents a crucial philosophical foundation of my practice. By consciously avoiding symbols in my work, I create space for more open interpretation and direct experiential engagement with art. This approach aligns perfectly with my study statement’s emphasis on exploring the space between abstract and figurative forms. The decision to avoid symbols isn’t just an artistic choice – it’s a methodological approach that allows both the artist and viewer to experience art “through the skin,” without requiring intellectual interpretation.
Technical Foundation and Transformation
- Drawing. I already know
This entry documents my systematic approach to drawing practice and its evolution toward abstraction. The post reveals my understanding of drawing as a technical foundation and a springboard for abstract exploration. It demonstrates how I use figurative drawing as a starting point, treating it as a “game of chess” – an intellectual search for the best solution in form and construction. The transformation from figurative to abstract through repainting represents my practical implementation of the dialogue between these two forms of expression.
Digital Innovation and Interactive Art
- Cables.gl
My work with Cables.gl demonstrates my expanding my practice into visual programming and interactive installations. This isn’t just about learning new technology; it’s about creating new possibilities for artistic expression. The visual programming environment allows me to explore real-time interactions and create dynamic artwork that responds to various inputs. This work directly connects to my study statement’s goal of bridging different media and exploring new forms of artistic expression.
Cross-Media Integration
- ZenSpaceRadio
This project exemplifies my implementation of cross-media work, combining visual and audio elements in a digital environment. It’s a practical manifestation of how different media can interact and influence each other, creating new forms of artistic expression. The project demonstrates my ability to work with complex technical systems while maintaining artistic vision and creativity.
Learning Outcome 2
My working methods demonstrate a systematic approach to both technical development and artistic practice, showing how I organize and document my research:
Technical Development and Documentation
- Gallery Code
This project shows my methodical approach to developing tools for my practice. The creation of a custom exhibition system isn’t just a technical exercise – it’s an integral part of my artistic practice. The blog post documents the iterative development process, including challenges faced and solutions found. This work demonstrates my ability to identify needs in my practice and develop appropriate tools to address them.
Project Management and Parallel Development
- In silence time
This entry showcases my ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously. It documents how I balance technical development (WordPress scripts and gallery systems) with ongoing artistic practice (drawing and visual art). The post demonstrates my organizational skills and ability to maintain productive work across different areas while keeping them conceptually connected.
Iterative Development and Critical Reflection
- Increasing the Contrast
This post reveals my iterative approach to work development. It shows how I critically analyze my work and make conscious decisions to improve it. The focus on increasing contrast and dynamic values in the ZenSpaceRadio music animation demonstrates my commitment to continuous improvement and refinement of my work.
Learning Outcome 3
My blog posts demonstrate ongoing critical reflection and theoretical understanding, showing how I connect practice with theory:
Theoretical Foundations and Personal Experience
- Ouzoud waterfall n Strzemiński
This reflection connects personal experience with art theory in a profound way. By linking my experience at the Ouzoud waterfall with Strzemiński’s theories about art, I demonstrate how I integrate direct experience with theoretical understanding. The post shows my ability to find connections between different aspects of artistic experience and theory, enriching my practice through these insights.
Social Role of Art
- Guilty. Not guilty
This entry represents a critical examination of art’s role in society and my position as an artist. It shows my engagement with broader questions in contemporary art, specifically addressing the balance between social responsibility and artistic freedom. The post demonstrates my ability to critically reflect on my practice within larger social and cultural contexts.
Conceptual Framework and Technical Implementation
- Four-dimensional figure
This theoretical exploration of dimensionality in art shows how I connect abstract concepts with practical implementation. The post demonstrates my understanding of complex spatial concepts and their application in artistic practice, particularly in the context of digital and traditional media integration.
Areas for Specific Feedback
- Cross-Media Integration and Coherence
I would appreciate feedback on how effectively I integrate different media into my practice. Specifically:
- How well do my traditional and digital works complement each other?
- Does my work maintain conceptual coherence while exploring various forms of expression?
- How successfully do I translate ideas across different media?
- Is there a clear dialogue between my figurative and abstract works?
- Theory-Practice Relationship
I would value feedback on the balance between theoretical understanding and practical experimentation in my work:
- How well do my theoretical investigations inform my practical work?
- Is there a clear connection between my conceptual framework and artistic output?
- How effectively do I document the relationship between theory and practice?
- Does my work demonstrate a deep understanding of both traditional and contemporary art practices?
This assessment represents my journey through Unit 1, showing how I’ve developed my practice across multiple dimensions while maintaining focus on my core interests in the dialogue between abstract and figurative forms, and the integration of different media in contemporary art practice.
