 Here is my project plan for art portfolio,

Art portfolio 1, Project sign off

 During my project sign off with Zoe, we talked about where the location of my project will be, I decided I want my swimming room to be located in Nigeria,Abuja. We also talked about sustainability and how the materials I will be using will be sustainable and not harm the environment. She also said I should do some research on   Biophillic Designs. I told her the designers I've chosen for my project and why I have chosen them. The designers I am going to research will be...  My next steps in the project will be to add the things I've researched on biphillic designs, and to also add where in Abuja I will want this project to be. I will also be talking about the sustainability and how it will not harm the environment.     Below is the link to my,  Project sign-off  

PROJECT STATEMENT

 For my Project I will be making a Roman inspired pool room, I have chosen this roman design because I like the arches and clay wash wall and pillars . This room will have trees, stones and water, just bringing nature indoor. The reason I am doing this project is because I love swimming, as a swimmer I have never gotten the chance to swim anywhere apart from a stadium pool, I want to make this Roman inspired bath for people who want to get a feel of what its like to swim in nature, This room will also be used as a meditation area and a spa , using the nature design I want to make part of the pool room a nice quiet meditation space, overall this design is for those who want to escape reality and enter a quiet space.    For the 2d design of this project I would be sketching on paper, it would be colored in acrylic, on paper i would have a sketch of the room showing the roman pillars and arches, to the circular pool and trees and stones. Vases and plants will be include...

object lesson

   The object that i chose was an old metallic watch. This object has been kept for a long time seeing that the shine in the metal has gone and the watch has not been polished, there are some scratchings on the body of the watch, and some cracks at the top of the glass placed above where the time is. I picked this watch because watches remind me there's a time for everything.   This is an image of the watch i choose. The image above shows what I have re-imagined the watch to be. I have used the shape of the watch to form new objects, above i have sketched a wall, a center piece, a wall clock, plant vase, a lamp, table and chair. I choose household items because i wanted to sketch things you will see in a room, I wanted to relate this to my interior design.

initial thoughts

  These are my initial thoughts, I will be researching the artists that have inspired me for this project. Starting off with Drew popularly known as lone fox interior design. I first saw his designs on YouTube and immediately felt love for his designs. Why i choose to research on Drew is because i love the arch's and colors he uses in his design, His style is very rustic and old but yet modern. The way i have chosen to incorporate his style in my design is by using the same color palette he uses. I have narrowed his color scheme down to the earth tones such as creme, white, brown, green, copper and black.  Another talented designer that has inspired me is Tosin Osinowo. Tosin is a Yoruba Nigerian designer based in Lagos,Nigeria. shes popularly known for mixing aesthetics and and functionality. She has designed some impressive buildings in Nigeria including the  Maryland Mall, Nigerian law school in Abuja, Nigeria.  (Imanova, 2022) I have been inspired by the images o...

First Thoughts

 Primitivism Patterns  Pop art   I would like to incorporate Primitivism in my project. My project for now is based on my love for swimming, water and nature. For this project I would want to take reference from the  renaissance era, like the Roman buildings and shapes. I want to create an indoor pool with the clay theme, and nature theme as well as renaissance. I want to incorporate the way the grass is arranged in the image above. I am also thinking of having a center piece maybe instead of the statue i can have a tree. The colors used in the image above, cool brown tones is what I want to incorporate in my design. Also the arch walls at the sides opening to the outside. Might look into adding the grass to the top of the arch as shown in the image above. I want to also add the opening at the top to my project. I like how the opening at the top shines direct light to the pool. I like the color and cool tones in the image above, the clay baby pink and ...

Welcome to Term 2 .Art Portfolio

     Hi my name is Marvin Madubugini and welcome to the spring term. This winter break I watched a lot of movies and series but the two that stood out to me were shameless the USA series and Saltburn the movie. I really loved watching shameless, it did not only give me entertainment and laughs but it thought me to be greatful no matter the situation I am in. It also showed me family comes first and what would you do or how far would you go for your family. On the other hand Saltburn was a rather fasinating movie set in Oxford, England in the 90s. Staring 2023 finest man alive Jacob Elordi and co star Barry Keoghan. This movie was a bit confusing at first watch but after i rewatched it again I learnt that the movie is all about a boy Oliver who was in love with a friend he met at Oxford University. This movie shows me I have to love myself before learning to love others, I loved the plot twists in the movie it kept me on my toes not once but twice. The Interior in the pala...
