Making My First Artist Book: using theme of "Hope Punk in the City"

With Professor Brown's guidance and the inspiration from digital and physical references, making my first artist book was an exciting journey. My creative process was made easier by the priceless Moodle resources that Professor Brown shared. I studied the exhibitions and portfolios of past students, taking the reference of their hard copy artist books and learning from Professor Brown's own masterwork.

I began drafting my book. With just an A4 piece of paper and a pencil, I carefully sketched out the city's locations, routes, and important spots. Instead of using stitches or glue to make my book, I decided to use the simple folding method. The minimalist approach kept the focus on the book's content and theme.

 I improved my artistic abilities and learned more about the idea of "Hope Punk" Making my artist book was an enjoyable task that gave me the chance to explore important themes in the context of interior architecture and design while also showing my creativity. 


Materials needed:

  1. Scissor
  2. 1 piece of paper A4 size white paper.

HOPE PUNK

-

I attended another interior practices lecture. During the first part of the talk, Professor Brown defined the term "hope punk" using a PowerPoint and then she invited the students to discuss the term's meaning and offer an explanation in their own words. She also handed us paper and coloured pencils so we could draw and write about hope punk. Professor Brown and the other professors to whom we were assigned split us up into four groups for this exercise. After giving us some time to think things through, afterwards professor asked us to share our opinions about the state of the world. It was a really good activity to do. Following the interval, we studied colour schemes and contrast. Since colour is the foundation of interior design, having this knowledge is invaluable when creating a project. For the interior practice subject, we must work in a group as well as individually on things such as models, sketches and blogs, as well as creating individual Artist books. As a

POTENTIAL SITE VISIT

The first site visit we conducted as part of our studio practice group was to various locations within Portsmouth and Southsea. We started covering particular areas on February 1st, 2024, starting with Port Sea and The Hard. We stopped at Trailgolds, The Hard, John Pounds Community Centre, and Groundlings Theatre. We then went to The Hard and Gunwharf Quays, passing through Aspex Gallery and arriving at Clarence Pier. We divided into groups during our tour and thoroughly examined each place, making notes about things like things left behind, transitional areas, and possible locations for more projects. To gain a better understanding of the textures, building functions, and activities occurring in the surrounding area, we sketched the area and gathered materials. This was an educational as well as thrilling experience. It gave us important information about building functionality, textures, materials, and the general ambience of Southsea and Portsmouth. We were able to work together

INSIDE THE WORLD OF INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

Fig.1.studio room ( Eldon building ) It was an extremely exciting first day of my master's program at the University of Portsmouth. I'm here to study interior architecture and design, and I'm excited to get to know new people. Despite my basic knowledge of interior design, I was eager to learn more, particularly about architecture. A number of students studying various aspects of architecture and space, such as urban planning, interior design, and landscape architecture, makes it an interesting place to. Their backgrounds are different and they come from different country. We were introduced to the professors who will be teaching us throughout the course. Our interior design instructor, Professor Rachael Brown, gave us an overview of the projects we will be working on. Lesley Batchelor and Professor Dr.Suzanne Fallouh were also introduced to us, and they showed us some of their previous work. Afterwards, Professor Rachael Brown gave us an overview of our course timetable
