Looking back on the process of the conceptual art brief it has been interesting. I started the project not knowing what to do or where to go with my art. I never really understood conceptual art and didn’t ever think it was something I could do. I didn’t think my art was that meaningful and deep to be considered conceptual. However, through the project I realised that my art is really meaning full to me. I started of hating the brief but ended up loving it. The theme for my project was time and what time means to us. I wanted to investigate wasted time and the belief that we waste so much time as humans watching the clocks and don’t really enjoy the moments. 

Throughout the brief I spent a lot of time research about time and the philosophical and scientific look on time and how we deal with it. I wanted to investigate found object and see how I could use the clock to make my point in watching the clocks constantly. I chose to take a picture of every hour on the clock and an put them all together. I really liked how simple the pictures were but how they told a story. I didn’t sit and take a picture every hour I just turned the hand manually. Looking back and getting the feedback from my crit if I could do it again I would of sat and took a picture every hour as I think would of proved y point and would of shown the whole wasting time aspect of my project. 

After taking my picture I had a week left to come up with new ideas, I got feedback from my lecturer that I should maybe try out some video work as I think that would have been successful. I hadn’t had any practice doing video so wasn’t very confident doing it and didn’t know what I was doing. I got lots of stock images or clocks and watches with different sounds of ticking’s going at all different speeds on top of the images. I thought the video was quite good however was taken too well on my crit. I my feedback was that all my stock images had water marks on them so took away the effect of the video which I wanted. I should have taken my own pictures of clocks and used them which would have made my work more personal as my lecture thought I was cutting corners.

To conclude the brief, it has been up and down, I started of not liking the project and no knowing what I was doing. I then got really into it and got stuck in to research and found out lots of things that I didn’t know and was really into. I then had my crit and came out feeling quite low again as my work wasn’t taken as well as I thought it was. But all in all, I did enjoy the project and it was something new that I haven’t done before which was interesting.
