FEEDBACK
On presenting the presentation and work so far, I received a range of comments from my peers providing a base for new directions. Elements I was praised on were the depth and detail I had gone into with my research and how this had clearly informed my subsequent work, particularly within the image analysis work. Comments also celebrated the exploration of kitsch through colour and media, particularly the experimental approach within my journal pages. My use of media is something I think I have explored well, I have tried to explore metallic paints in kitsch colours to capture the sense of preciousness, yet tacky aesthetic of kitsch products, whilst exploring mark making through use of ink and pencil to add textural qualities.
Suggestions from my peers were to further explore collage as an approach to kitsch and consider how materials can distinguish the difference between high-art and kitsch, suggesting that more tactile media could enhance the kitsch aesthetic. Exploring the relationship between colours was also encouraged to achieve a more succinct aesthetic across the journal.
ACTION PLAN FOR FOCUS
Responding to my peer feedback and working towards more focused responses, I will collect some tactile materials, perhaps holographic and corrugated papers to maintain the kitsch qualities, I may find these on a visit to the market.
In light of imagery, I want to take a more focused approach to collage, using existing imagery and re-appropriating media to achieve satirical, kitsch images. Developing on my existing journal pages, I feel the colour palette is a strength of my work so far as ot dorectly resonates with the subject matter, so I will maintain this within the new media experimentation and perhaps explore how this could work with language to communicate a clear message about taste and aesthetic hierarchies.
