Geisha

This was a side project I choose to join during the college Holidays.

Me and 3 other students worked on wall sized boards to create pieces of Art for the Northwich  highschool.

We choose graffiti as the theme for this project..

I decided to look up on japanese graffiti and took inspirtion from a Particular artist helping me create this piece.

It was fully freehand and The first time id ever worked on a scale as large as this

This is my favourite part of the image.I was inspired by reading alot of books on japenese graffitti!

Will helped with some of the work,this was the part of the board that he did.

This is my first attempt of drawing a dragon.Graffitti work isnt realy the style of art I choose to look into,however after this project I have now become inspired and would love to do other projects that are graffitti based

positive and negative space

                                                                                            SLIPKNOT 

For this project I had to look at positive and negative spaces.
This was a good project for me as there were lots of different ideas floating around.
As  Slipknot is my favourite band I choose to do the project based around them
I created 8 canvases and 1 mirror.
Instead of the mirror being blank I created a stencil of Corey Taylors face and sandblasted it to the mirror leaving his face outlined faintly so It still could be used as a mirror to look into.
Behind the 8 canveses I created a metal frame to turn this into a wall piece
I spot welded the frame together making tabs to hold the canvases to the frame.
The mirror was then glued to the middle of the frame and I was left with a Distinction for this 3d design project

Using Paper clay

This was part of my life drawing development except using paperclay to create a sculpture rather than draw an image.
We were lucky to have a lifedrawing model to help us. To get each angle we moved around her in circles with are sculptures and only had so many minutes to perfect the shape.I used Egon Schiele as inspiration with this sculpture and made her alot skinnier and gave her awquard angles within her body shape.
I realy love this sculpture and Im proud of the turn out considering the time limit we had!

                                                                         Death  Masks

Our college was lucky enough to have a glaze room and a kiln room so we could make sculptures
This was a mask I made as a spare as there was chances that they would crack in the kiln if things werent done properly.

J'ADORE Alivia Jade Wright

J’Adore

This project I choose to dedicate to my younger sibling Alivia Jade Wright.

I love watching her grow and I find her inspiring. She loves puzzles, drawing, painting and taking photos so I can see already that were going to get along later in life as we share a lot of the same interests.

I think children have multiple personalities so I chose to use different mediums to create basic outlines of her face multiple times, some overlapping, some joining and some just one there own.

The basic idea was that I could symbolise her duel personalities by creating layers of faces. I worked with paints inks and ballpoint pens. My plan was to first of all draw the images up before scanning them in to edit. I think the more simple designs are the ones that came out the most effective after being edited. I haven’t used Photoshop much before so the techniques I have used are pretty basic, however all the printed out images have turned out exactly how I wanted them to.

I love how a messy line can be made to look a lot neater once edited. One of my favourite things to do is to have the same image repeated in different colours.

My final piece is going to be based on this Idea.

I think if I was more experienced on Photoshop My images could be great turnouts.

The artist.

For this project I didn’t have much inspiration from other artists. As one of my biggest passions is photography I have used a lot of my own work as inspiration for my drawings. I have been there from beginning to capture pictures of Alicia and she loves to pose for me so it works out well. I have looked at Andy Warhol and other artists that use vibrant colours within there work but Andy Warhol’s pop art and repeated pattern in various colours was the work that maybe inspired me not whilst doing this project but when I was a lot younger as the way I have worked in this project is my style completely.

I have many favourites within my sketchbook that I edited all the ones I like.

I tried to give more of a graphics/modern look to my work and I have actually enjoyed this project

If I were to do this project again I would have done it on both my siblings.

I would have carried on with the layers of faces but I may have used objects they liked such as puzzles within the drawings.

I like the fact within this project I got to do photography swell. If you look on my bog there are many different snap shots and edits of Alivia swell as my edits.
