I thought this was a nice 'warm up' exercise to set things off with.
To start it I kept it very simple in my mind and was looking at the things I found around me that could be considered as temporary art. I did this by finding things in my house that I could create pictures with without having to glue them down.
This photo above shows an example of this. I simply got some hobby craft jewels and placed them on my drawing board in some vague form of pattern.
I later went for a walk with my family to a beautiful woodland near me. I was surprised to see so many leaves on the ground at this time of year. However, then my thoughts turned to looking at an organic approach and example to temporary art. Mothers natures creation rather than my own but still art non the less and temporary as the leaves will soon decompose.
I thought the colours, shapes and textures that the leaves formed were beautiful and by taking a photograph of it makes it become my own photographic art.
Whilst on my walk I started to think deeper about the concept of temporary art and it got me to consider new ideas. My face with make up is an example. I paint it to look like a better version of myself before wiping it off at the end of the day.
I then started to consider things further and, in my opinion, concluded that everything is in fact temporary art. No matter how well we try and preserve things they will eventually cease to exist. Everything down to the worlds supposedly most famous painting the 'Mona Lisa'.

It was at this realisation that I decided to move on from this warm up.
