Lucy Maree Murdoch - Aren't Loose Creative Designs

Question for PowerPoint due 2 April 2019 'How does the moment of discovery associated with the found object inform art making processes?' Lucy Murdoch 2019 - Penny's Pony Ride - Assemblage art The slice of my project question centers around the aspect of collecting and making.  Assemblage and the found object, the joy of making and creating without a predetermined outcome. How do the found objects inform the conceptual development of art making? Collectors as artists  - this blog explores famous artists who collected objects (not necessarily of high value) -  This is useful as a resource when looking at my character collections, and collections of materials. Update: 11 July 2019 - I have moved on spare dolls and objects I no longer need for my project, they have gone to other collectors or back to charity shops to be recycled - my way to play an active part in recycling and hopefully less landfill etc.  Key words Assemblage Sculpture Fantasy ...

BVA316 One on Ones - Studio Projects  Meeting notes:  28/3/19 D iscussed artists as collectors - useful for Theory side project or slice.  Asked Kathryn for advice on a key question for Theory -  How does the moment of discovery associated with the found object inform art making practices?  This question will address the aspect of the joy of making and creating without a predetermined outcome. How do the found objects inform the conceptual development of art making? See artists Patrick Pound the photo collector and Don Driver.  See if I can find artists who are collectors as well.  An assumption is that every assemblage or collage style artist will be a collector to some level. I have been looking at the cabinet and trying out hanging cages with a few characters - it could work well as opposed to adding shelves for the second exhibition as the story builds. (Comment - after tidying the cabinet up, removing...

Nicholas Poussin and Claude  Lorrain  A Frenchman who spent almost his entire working life in Rome, Nicolas Poussin is considered the founder of the French  classical tradition . He specialized in scenes from the Bible, ancient history, and mythology and his canvases are revered for their narrative intensity and their rational and ordered approach to composition.

Though his reputation was downgraded in the first half of the 18th century, Poussin...
