This is an example of what I am expecting you to include in your first blog post. This will relate to your 'WHY' and will be your starting point for the year.
Step One: Choose your theme, mediums and create your moodboard from the matrix
This year I will be focussing on Feminism and Equality as my kaupapa.
I have chosen this theme because it is something I identify with as a woman and as someone who feels strongly about just practices in our community.
The media I will work with are Paint and Design.
The two artists I have selected for 1.1 are: Lisa Reihana and Sofia Minson from list one, and Banksy and Shepard Fairey from list two.
Insert your Moodboard here. Make it (it will have 39 Artworks on it) and then download it as a JPEG. Inserting it into your blog from there should be easy.
(Here is exactly what I mean for this, don't include this part in your blog, this is just to explain to you... I went to the AKO matrix for level one and collected up my Artist model mood board. Then I was able to clearly state that I was looking at the artists I have listed above. )
This is the matrix from the AKO section of our site. You MUST choose two artists from list one, two from list two and then one other from the third lists for 1.2 and 1.4. A total of five artists).
Step 2: Choose your artist focus for 1.2 and 1.4:
The artist I am interested in for my kaupapa is John Heartfield.
Here are my notes about my thinking for my kaupapa (theme, what you like about it and what you think you can do with it):
(photo of your brainstorm here)
I want to use self-portraiture from selfies, river stones and lego pieces as my subject matter. I think I can show meaning and visual metaphors for my ideas with these three things.
This amount of writing is 130 words. It is the first post. It sets the scene. If you do only this much, you have reached our target. Add Labels on the right-hand side as clearly explained already! EVERYTHING needs to have at least 2 of those 4 labels this year.
