Developing Art Practice Brief


Presentation of assignment brief, which requires a search for either a live brief in which to respond to, for example a public art commission or a simulated brief which can then be specifically tailored to suit individual studio specialism. The aim of this assignment is to research and investigate art opportunities available, and the type of opportunities available to artists, weather it be an exhibition, a public art commission, a site specific artwork, a community workshop etc...

From this, research has been undertaken into live bries, to attain information on layout and content, so that a template can be constructed. Through this initial research it has become apparent that there is such a variety of clients with varying expectations, budgets and visions, that it will be less limiting to the development of practical work if a simulated brief is constructed, therefore eliminating the constraints of budget and clients vision form the outcome. Therefore allowing the development and the concept of the artwork to take prominence throughout this investigation.

Additionally a reading on the painting The Garden Of Earthly delights by Hieronymous Basch was completed, studying the representation of utopia and dystopia during this period, where there was a strong focus on religion that ran throughout all societies and whereby utopia was often inferred as being heaven and dystopia, hell.

Today, a project timetable was also compiled to aid with the development of practical study and the planning of project briefs and proposals. This has allowed for forward planning of large scale works and preparation time for presentations, therefore ensuring that all elements of the assignment brief are met within the allocated deadlines.
