BK3 Period 4 - End of Year recap

Well, the last presentation with all the teachers kinda clarified how my 3rd year at AKV/St. Joost progressed.

-tried to paint, i was satisfied with my last painting, but compared to drawing it requires a whole different approach... it is just not working for me.

-made a first step in animation, the animation was about the only main artwork i showed at the presentation at the end of period 4, the other was a minor work and the Land Art project... the animation shows how i have been working the 3rd year: by not sticking to my initial idea/concept for a work, i have been distracted with many influences and put them all, alongside the initial idea, in 1 work. Making the image far too complex and not clear for the viewer to understand at all.

-i did acquire experience outside the academy by working as a volunteer at art initiative W139 in amsterdam and reading books (magical-realism and also a book containing dialogs between an artist/gamer/bioloog(biologist?) and an art philosopher who discuss all sorts of topics regarding art, media, games and philosophy)

In the next post, BK4 Period 1, i will elaborate how i take on year 4.

Animation at end of period 4, was fun to make but in the end just a hodge podge of ideas and fascinations:

BK3 Period 4 - DB Skyline

Den Bosch skyline slideshow:
i took this sweep of photos right before they started to change that entire area, they already cut down most of the trees on the dijk/dyke and now all of it has been removed. They (Natuurmonumenten) are in charge of transforming that area into a place for outdoor recreation and also connecting the Gement to the other nature areas around Den Bosch.




I used this area for the Land Art project we were doing with Margriet. After seeing this very direct border between city and nature/farmland i came up with the idea of making people, who come through that area, aware of this contrast. By building a 2-3 meters high observation post with a focused view on the skyline of the city and on the other side the nature area. This post would be build a little bit inside the nature area and the materials would be grass, wooden planks and sand. The windows are there to narrow the viewing frame and to make people focus on what is seen inside that frame.

It is still only but a concept...

First concept:

Second concept:

Some other photos that i took in which i like the compositions and shapes:
