The Equivalents Project: Lydia Bagley

1. The Equivalents Project

2. Primary & Secondary Sources
I have used secondary sources such as other artists
work and pictures of still life. For example, below is
a study I made of a piece of Francis Bacon’s work. I
also worked from primary sources such as still life.
For example I made 3 small sketches (right) based on
the still life I was looking at and I made marks using
ink and cardboard based on the textures I could see in
the frame I was looking at.

3. Use of Formal Elements
In this project I used many formal elements. I looked
at drawing whilst including shape, tone and detail to
enhance my work. I also painted from different sources
including other artists work.

4. Visual Language
To the right is a painting I did in the style of Juan
Gris. I studied his visual language and developed an
understanding of his colour scheme and the way he used
shape. I started to develop an idea for a sculpture to
represent my print. I started off with one main idea
and gradually adapted it to fit the criteria.

5. Developing Work
I have demonstrated a understanding of health and
safety around a printing press and understand the
risks involved. I have also shown the progression of
my work and how it has developed into a piece of art
hat can be used in many possible ways; such as, the
development of my printing plate.

6. Evaluation
Throughout this project I do not feel that I have used my time management skills to the best of my
ability. There were tasks in the project that were going to take more time than others and I
believe that at some points I under estimated how long these task would take. For the next project
I plan to be more organised and plan my time out accordingly to allow my work to reach the highest
standard it can.
In this project I did lots of research. I mainly researched art styles, such as Cubism and Dada,
and found artists along the way that worked in a particular style. I found it helpful to ensure I
understand the style of art before I start to make a study of a piece of work in this style. To
conduct this research I used mostly secondary sources such as online websites including Tate and
other gallery websites.
I developed my ideas to create m model influenced by my print. I was influenced by Picasso when it
came to thinking of ideas for my model. I like the simplicity but the use of many parts to his
sculpture work. In my next project I hope to develop more of my ideas to showcase more of my
ability.
