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
Re ect on your work you've created so far and consider on how your use of materials,
tools, techniques and processes re ect 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?

Lino, Somerset Paper (Emboding),

Question 2
Re ect upon the audience and method of dissemina on for your work.

What does it communicate and who is it communica ng to? What does it o er to the viewer/
customer/client and their lifestyle? Where will the work be situated? How can you market your
work?

It offers the viewer a peak into the culture and history of Mexico and exposes them to what
my culture is and is all about. I am trying to communicate my origins and what culture I
grew up with by exposing the viewer to ancient and traditional days and foods of my
country.

Question 3
We make, design, and produce work to be shared and to elicit a reac on or provoke a response.

 What response would you like to provoke in your Audience/Client/Viewer/User? Are you the kind of
designer/ar st/producer who aims to disrupt - to entertain or to ques on? Is your work ironic,
playful, educa onal or poli cal? 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?

To make them interested in wanting to learn more about my culture and what Mexico is and
its many traditions, foods, dances and more. I want them to learn and appriciate about my
culture that it exist and is there. I want to raise awarness and expose my culture to people
that dont know about it that is the impact I want to do.

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 con dence.

The history of my Country and the tratidions and religions that existed and exist now. I will
show the origins of how culture has change by showing the viewer first to the beginning of
mayan astec civilatation. And a section where it shows the culture that we beleive today. I
might explore what branches connect from the culture now to the culture of back then in
ancient times.

Please give an overview of the project here.

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

Polyomer machine, roll - press, as well as cuting tools. It will look like the original mayan
calendar was printed on to a 2D page and will have a small book with the most importnat
symbols the mayan calendar has.

 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?

I need to learn how to use the polyomer magine as well as expiriment and learn how to
embod my Lino pieces and how I can make the pages look old and decayed.

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
in uenced you? How can you push yourself beyond your comfort zone here?

It pushes me to go depper into reading and learning about history as its somthign that I
allways hated as I kid. Now I know that its importnat to know our roots and were our
ancestors lived to undestand the culture our famliies have followed or are following. I hated
history because all I saw was about war and death but I know that Mexican culture is more
than that and has more symbolic meanings. History overall in every culture and religion is
grusome and can be shocking to know. What pushes me to theme

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 How do I access/acquire What additional understanding,

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 am using recycable materials so that my project is a little more sustainable as I am using

paper which is not, will also use Lino to be Abe to emboss it onto the paper.

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 speci c materials such as fabric, wood, superglue, neoprene etc. You
can add to this list as you progress through the project.

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...

(Think about how the work will be created rather than how it will be shared or exhibited)

Traditional 2D (Drawing, Painting, Collage using real tools/surfaces/ Yes No Not sure
materials) (Maybe)
Digital 2D - (Images produced using digital tools such as procreate/ X
photoshop etc.

Photography (Traditional or digital) X

3D Sculptural or Decorative object X

3D Functional or Practical Object X

Moving image piece - live action, Animation or Experimental hybrid. X

Virtual piece - (Augmented reality, 3D modelled object etc) X

Performance Based Piece X

Installation piece X

Design, Client Brief or Pitch. X

Design layout sheet or schematic. X

In terms of Physical scale my anticipated outcome will be...

Small Scale – Smaller than a teapot – bigger than a breadbox. Not really larger
Medium Scale – Bigger than a breadbox - smaller than a bicycle. It will be medium

In terms of its digital footprint my anticipated outcome will be...

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image less than a minute long No its not
A “Showreel” Piece of moving image between one minute and five minutes No its not
long
A “Platform” virtual Piece requiring its own computer. No its not
A Projected piece requiring a computer and projector No it wont
require it
Other – Please specify It will be a

In the context of planning the end-of-year exhibition is your piece

best described as…

It might be this or it will be a standing 2D/3D

A 2D piece of work fixed to a flat wall. artwork.

A virtual tool or artefact accessed through a It wont be this

computer, tablet or smart phone.

What will need to be in place in order for you to complete your final
piece and to achieve your ambition and aims?

To be able to finish a sum-total of digital artworks in a website. Mainly

just to distribute the work well enough to be able to finish the difital
artworks, typography, and the embocing of my grandpas mayan
calendar.

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 rst.

What are the Health and Safety risks associated with my

chosen pipeline, work low 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.
