Assignment 3 Final Artwork

STUDENT

TEACHER

Assignment 3 Artist Statement

In this assignment, I intended to show what is in the mind of young generation about student and teacher. So a survey was done on secondary school students. Based on it, I created my artwork. 

    For the topic "Student", a seed with  yellow, purple and shallow red and blue "S" with black surrounding indicate the current state of mind of young scholars. They are at the age of morphing from child to adult which mean they start to think maturely but their action are still of childish and naive as they are not completely adult yet they are no longer children. This torn thought and controversy might drive them to form a cocoon of which inside they enjoy their "golden years' with peers of same thought while remain uninvolved and indifferent of the outside world. In my artwork, the colours inside the seed is of joy and fun surrounded by dark dull grey reality.

    For "Teacher", what the young generation see in adulthood is a complete form. A form which they admired and strived for yet afraid of the process that will change their current state of enjoyment. In order to find a illuminated solution, their heads turn to a mature and hardened yet still retain a fraction of the former youth - a teacher. They see the role of teacher as guide though they constantly defies their instructor because they know the instructor is right about the world. A teacher is like a tree that has stand the test of time and changing and still able to grow strong and live on. Small blossomings of young plants need the protection of the old tree from the storm yet still able to shed light to them by showing them how prepare themselves to treat the world. 

The artworks are all Photoshop products and the font is base on Swansea.

Assignment 3 Expression Through Specified Audience

To begin the expression, first I must gather information and opinions of my targeted audience regarding my topic. In this case, I chose two different topic- 'Student' and 'Teacher' for teenage students.
