OROZCO

Last week i went to the Orozco exhibition at the tate. It was an excellent exbihition; there was a mixture of photography and fine art pieces. My initial favourite piece was the photograph of tins of cat food the on watermelons but I also liked the postcards which had been covered by geometric shapes.I liked his use of found imagery and objects, bringing to our intention their raw beauty.
As an artist orozco says he likes to highlight the beauty of the ordinary things - that is, in my view what makes an artist a real artist- the ability to see more in the ordinary.

Last project  before the Final Major Project: making a fact matter. My fact was : you frown using 46 muscles and you smile using half that amount( 17)! My final piece is up on my blog but i will post the work leading up to this later. For this project I realised i wanted to go back to my love of typography and illustration. I felt I was loosing myself by coming out of my comfort zone in the last project( i was doing a lot of experimentation with photoshop), so with this project I wanted to come back to my interest using the skills I have developed during the last project(on photoshop and illustrator).I feel this is where I have the most fun; using my drawing and illustrative skills but  transforming them using design software.
