After making all these paper cuts, I have decided that this will be technique i will use for my final piece(s). I want to have 3 A3 size pieces, each with a quirky image of a pregnant woman. The pregnant females will all be a small size, and maybe unrealistic proportions. This relates back to the documentary I watched (the truth about super skinny pregnancies). I will have some floral detail around them, this is to represent the natural aspects of pregnancy.
In terms of the colours I will use, will also relate back to my research. I want to use blue, like some of the images i found right at the start of my research. This colour will show peace and calmness around the unborn baby. I will use pale pink colour, almost like the colour of skin. This will be to show how natural pregnancy is. Also, I will use a bright pink colour, very illuminous. This will bring the pop art/cartoon/clip art effect that i have looked at in my research.
All of these colours will contrast each other, yet work together really well. I have found the card I will use. It is very thick and strong, perfect for a final piece. The colours all have a metallic effect and when the light shines on them, it looks beautiful.
As for the designs, I will draw them all free hand. I will base them on some images I have recently been looking at but give each of them their own twist and individuality. Because they will be paper cuts, I will be using a knife for all of it. Also, as i will be making stencils, i may re-use parts of the designs over again, as I done similar to this in some previous work building up to my final piece. I may also use some acrylic paint to add some detail to certain things. I don't feel i can plan every last aspect to my final piece, I want to be able to create it freely, and do what i want to do while I'm doing it! If I want to change anything about it while I am creating it I will, I don't want to restrict myself with what I can create.
