Perspective Drawing 

When we first started doing perspective drawing I didn't really have any previous knowledge of this topic except doing something like it in maths in high school. At first I found it quite hard because I had no idea what I was doing till Jo gave us a few basic rules like your eye line is the horizon and vertical parallel lines share a vanishing point. After a few practice runs drawing it over again and getting Matt to check it's right i finally got the hang of it. I could improve more if I practice a lot more and spent more time doing it.

Visual Studies

I did my painting from a picture of a dark alley way. We have also been doing drawings, paintigs and collages. I researched townscape artists like Frances Russel Flint which i really liked because of the brush strokes he uses and how they are a little blotchy.

Textiles

In textiles when Jo gave us the brief  for a body supported structure I had no clue what I was going to do. When I did some research I found the building in London called 'The Shard' which triggered the inspiration for the woven triangle I made out of red wool and wire so I could position them. I did research on Iris Van Herpen and Alexander McQueen .

3D Sculpture

When I made my sculpture I started out cutting up a box but then I really didn't like it so I started over and cut out the shapes of a skyline and cut loads out and painted them white and painted a cylinder white and at different angles some overlapping on each other and some sticking up higher than the cylinder.

Printmaking- Mono - Printing

I really liked this type of printing because less complicated than other types of printing we have done. Plus some of my prints came out really well some not so much became I but to much ink of the sheet of metal.

Photography

I really liked using the photographs we took and layering them and changing them because I really like some of mine like my pigeon and the old man with the pipe. I look at artists like Dan Mountford which I really liked because he took his photos and layered them to make a third photo and never used the computer or photo shop to enhance them.
