"In your opinion, which colour portrays the most energy?"The highest voted colours here were clearly red and yellow which proves my research into colour correct. I found that red is seen as the highest energy portraying colour due to its blood pressure raising aspects.
Being a colour that is voted by both colour psychology and my audience as most energy inspiring means that red will be an almost vital aspect of my final piece.
Here it seems that the voting was closer in result however there is still a clear win for acrylic/oil paint. Originally I wanted to paint my piece using water colour but acrylic has received almost double the votes and so I feel persuaded to use this.
Acrylic could be a better choice for many reasons. For example it is easier to control and manipulate, therefore meaning I could paint using a wider range of techniques that I might have struggled to do with watercolour.
In addition, after analysing the works of Turner and Nick Andrew, I am more inclined to imitate their technique in order to produce energy in a similar way.
The majority of people answered that size doesn't matter to this question. While this may be true, I have decided to go no smaller than A3 as A4 received no votes, therefore implying that while size may not matter, A4 would still be a less effective size for my piece. Out of the two sizes (A3 and A2), A2 received more votes however, I feel that considering the time scale I have been given it would be a better idea to perhaps work on a smaller scale in order to avoid running out of time. Having painted on A3 many a time in Art, I also feel that this may not be an appropriate size as it is usually slightly too small in scale when trying to paint the finer details. Taking all of this into consideration, I have decided my best choice would be to use a size midway between the two, perhaps closer to A2 in order to give me ample opportunity to capture the finer details of my scene.
The highest voted result was a Concert/Live music scene. I feel that this would be a good choice in scene as concerts are easy to buy tickets for and so this would be something I could actually go and experience. Next came dance performance and stormy weather. Dance might be less easy to see because while I am aware it is easy to find cheap concerts, I know less of dance performances which are affordable and easy to get to. Stormy weather may have been voted because of Turner's work. However, in order to do this scene, I would have to wait for a storm and even then, I could not confirm that a storm would even happen in time for my EPQ. Judging these through course of availability is important as I feel that it is vital that I get the chance to experience my moment of energy in order to have complete understanding of what I am trying to portray. This will give me a deeper understanding of exactly what portrays energy in that moment.
Over all, my survey has helped me decide the important aspects I must focus on when creating my final piece. For example, I now know that acrylic paint is likely to be my best option when it comes to medium for my final piece. However, I believe it would benefit me to do further research into scenes for my piece as it is important to understand the energetic imagery that can be brought with each rather than just the availability. I will do this through direct analysis of each type of scene and then perhaps I will create another page of more in depth research based on selected scenes. This will likely be scenes such as concert and dance as these received the highest number of votes.
