2050 Vision: Development and Refinement
Updated: Apr 22, 2023
Introduction
In this blog I will discuss and present my refined work. As said in my previous blog, I will be focusing on the 'feeling of Utopia'.
Development
From last week, I was able to identify my strength, weakness and which material I work better with. Keeping this in mind I made few other artwork which are inspired by monument valley (game), webtoon (Mystic Prince), Pablo Picasso and MidJourney (AI).
Beside each of my work I have put an image which MidJourney came up with using the keywords I typed in.

Reflection
Next week a group critique will take place where I will be able to present my work and receive feedback on art pieces that work well and relates to the brief. I will be taking my most successful work further into cycle 4 for inspiration.
In cycle 4, I will be focusing on creating models relating to brief and taking inspiration from my own work. I will note down steps to take during cycle 4 in my upcoming blog.
Model Refinement and Development
After stating the highlights of each space that I have created, I will be choosing one to draw sketches from and present as my final outcome.
Fairy Fantasy
Concept: A rustic place between the woods for fairies to live in, which reflects autumn aesthetic.
Highlights:
I had worked with clay before hence using was not difficult.
Whereas for the smaller mushrooms I choose to use the method of quilling which I was quite familiar with.
To bring the rustic forest feeling into the model I used branches from wood which gives a natural texture.
Energy giving Crystals
Concept: This place generates energy using crystals, that has over powered humankind and has become an ecosystem.
Highlights:
Experimenting with nail polish to bring the iridescent effect was quite helpful since I learnt a new method.
The iridescent effect is an evidence of energy being distributed around in that space.
The dark painted jewels show that their energy has already been used while the lighter ones still consists some.
I have used the acetate paper to show that those light jewels are being protected since it has not run out of energy.
Nature is Gold
Concept: Here nature is gold i.e., nature is valued and where people live in a black and white environment, calling back simpler times.
Highlights:
Since the trees are colored gold I choose a plain black base to highlight the second part of the concept, black and white.
The small figurine being white fit right to the theme of humankind turning back to simpler times.
The droplets represents water dews that are forming on the ground instead of on trees which is part of the illusion.
Lastly the white flakes represents areas from where the trees grow; sort of like soil.
Reflection
During this week I was able to discover and explore how the different spaces that I have created might work in real life. After writing down the highlights and looking through the photographs my final outcome will be fairy fantasy. I have chosen this space to be my final outcome as it has a united and easier concept to grasp. I will also be able to make better rendered diagrams from this space and show it in my final outcome along with the model.
