‘The Expulsion From Eden’

Grayson Perry 2012

The Expulsion from Number Eight Eden Close,

2012

Tim is at university studying computer science, where

he is going steady with a nice girl from Tunbridge

Wells. Tim's mother and stepfather now live on a

private development and own a luxury car. She

hoovers the Astroturf lawn, he returns from a game of

golf.

There has been an argument and Tim and his

girlfriend are leaving. They pass through a rainbow.

Jamie Oliver, the god of social mobility, looks down.

They are guilty of a sin just like Adam and Eve in

Masaccio's Expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

A dinner party is just starting. Tim's girlfriend's parents

and fellow guests toast the new arrival.

Developing ideas• Experimenting

• Exploring

• Showing your journey visually

• Using your research in your book

creatively

• Making links and connections

• Using practical outcomes to inform your

progress - reviewing and refining.

Decisions to make...

• What images do I want to develop?

• Do I have a theme - e.g. music / objects

/ portraits / landscapes etc

• What materials will I use?

• What processes will I use?

• Which artists will influence my work?

• What type of artwork will I make? 3d /

2d / textile / mixed media / installation ?

Experiments to

create• Combining imagery into possible

compositions

• Trying out materials and processes

• Creating artists references to help

influence your ideas

• Testing out colour combinations

• Finding more 1st hand imagery to use

in your final piece - drawings and

photographs

developing ideas

using artists

reference• Your final piece should not look like an

artists reference - do not copy an artists

work.

• Use your chosen artists to feed your

ideas - take parts of what they do and

use it in your own way.

• Use your own images & research as the

base of your ideas - then use artists to

help you explore / develop / expand

Collecting ideas

• Look through your book and at the

images available to help you.

• Inside the footprints create / gather -

Colours / Images / Words / Textures

that interest you for ideas.

• 30 minutes!

Possible final pieces

• The following slides will give you some ideas

for POSSIBLE final pieces and how to

create them.

• YOU CAN HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE IDEA

TO THESE!!

3D CERAMIC WORK

Create an

abstract design

using shapes

and patterns

from your

research.

Create a pot, a

sculpture or a

relief work.

CREATE A 3D RELIEF WORK

Build up shapes and images from your

research using card, mod rock, material, wire,

paper. Work upwards from a flat surface, layer

and stack shapes. Add colour using paint.

Incorporate real objects.

CREATE A PAINTING

Use shapes, images and textures from your

research. Combine them inside a simple shape to

make a new composition. Add colour and detail

using acrylic, or watercolour paints. Add raised

details using card, paper and string.

CREATE A PAPER MACHE OR MODROC

SCULPTURE OR RELIEF

Use paper mache or mod roc to build up textures

and shapes from your research imagery. You can

build a sculpture or 3d relief by creating a skeleton

structure in wire – then covering it with layers of

paper mache. Add colour using ink and, or paints.

CREATE A MIXED MEDIA PAINTING USING

YOUR PORTRAIT

Use paint, print & collage and drawing to create a

self portrait. Use images and textures and colours

from your research to create interesting

backgrounds and imagery to surround or fill features

of your body or face.

CREATE AN ASSEMBLAGE PIECE

Use collections of real objects and found images or

photographs together with painting and drawing.

Create a composition inside a box or a hanging

sculpture, or a free standing artwork

CREATE AN ABSTRACT PAINTING

Use overlapping and repeated images from your

research to create an abstract design. Add colours

and patterns from objects or photographs, or create

a personal colour scheme.

CREATE A REPEAT PRINTED IMAGE

Use imagery from your research to create

poly-tile prints, mono-prints and stencils in a

range of colours. Cut these out, re-arrange

and collage them into a layered composition.

CREATE A MIXED MEDIA

PRINTED COLLAGE

Use a range of printing

techniques on different papers to

re-create images from your

research.

Cut these out and layer them

with other textures and shapes

cut from ink stained paper to

create a layered collage.

CREATE A LAYERED

TEXTURED COLLAGE

Use a range of imagery

from your research and

combine them into a new

composition. Use various

materials to add colours

and textures in layers.

Sew into collage, use wire

and string, create detail

using a range of materials.

CREATE A 2D MIXED MEDIA COLLAGE

Use images from your research and re-create them

using a range of techniques in 2D to make a new

composition. Use paint, print, ink-stained paper,

patterned paper, news print, magazine imagery. Cut and

tear imagery or layer it to make a complex mixed media

collage.

CREATE AN INTERIOR OR LANDSCAPE

Use painting and drawing to create small parts of a

landscape or room which you join together to create

a disjointed or distorted composition.

Developing ideas

• Decide what you could make and create a series of experiments using combinations of images, textures and colours from your research so far.

• Think about techniques you have already used.

• Write notes about what the piece means and how you would make it – how does it reflect the exam title? Where do your ideas come from?

observe

• Create an observed drawing of an object that

relates to your ideas - this can be in any materials

of your choice and should fill an A4 page.

• You should spend at least 30 minutes on this

task.
