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?

I’ve found myself using a lot of physical making with my projects as well as lots of
sketching and note making when it comes to planning.
I would like to explore the more digital side to making. I would also like to use a wider
range of materials for research such as books, videos as well as interviews.

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?

My past projects, I felt, were very playful and visual. Being that they were miniatures, I
think they may have appealed to younger audiences but also older as they were detailed. I
would say they could be situated in a gallery or exhibition or, if in a house, on a shelf.
Whereas my current projects, I aim for them to be more 2 dimensional and therefore could
be displayed as posters or as zines.
I would probably market my work through social media or online. Or in the case of my
next project, in public spaces as posters or as magazines.
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 think I would like my work to cause my audience to think and maybe question their own
views and experiences. Ideally, I would like them to potentially evaluate their own view
and possibly change it if it is harmful. I would like my work to have a positive outcome
which can lead to greater positivity.

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.

LGBTQ+ community
LGBTQ+ rights
Views on LGBTQ+
History of LGBTQ+

Please give an overview of the project here.

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

Hand done designs

Digitally assembled
A collection of items: tote bag, poster, zine, sticker
Screen printing for tote bag or transfer paper
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?

Digital editing of hand drawn designs.

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?

Research into different artists with the style I would like for my design.
Exploring different mediums and different designs.
Explore editing and creating digitally.

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,

bags.

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 will use paper for my initial designs but then scan them in and do any other editing
digitally. I will also try to ensure there are no mistakes in my design before printing so I
will ideally only have to print once.

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.

Item Purchased Supplier Cost

Tote bags (3) Amazon £5.49

Transfer paper (10 sheets) Amazon £6.25

Sticker paper (50 sheets) Amazon £7.64

 Zine Printing (2) UWE £2

Poster Printing (2) UWE £1

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...

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.
