Carbon Prints For Risk Project (Core Work)

These are some carbon prints I did on mixed media backgrounds. I also did one on canvas fabric and stitched into it and added wire. I also did some sewing machine work with one of my paper ones. I did this by laying down the shiny side of the carbon paper and drawing on top to create the print. I think these are quite bold because of the backgrounds and the prints. I thought of composition when setting up the background for example: put strips of sugar paper where the  windows are. There is a lot of line work in these, because of this these look quite moody. These are based on primary imagery I took in Manchester over the summer. The strengths of these are the line work and the composition of the mixed backgrounds. To improve I could to more sewing work on the machine to get  better at it.

Glue Entrapments For Risk Project (Core Work)

For these I used a range of materials such as: glue, sticks, string, a range of papers, broken up man made elements, inks, sellotape, and wax. With these materials I created a range of mixed media pieces based on primary and secondary imagery. I think these look bold because of the colours used such as: golds, oranges, greens, yellows. These have a lot of different textures with the wax, metal, plastic and sticks. The moods of these are calm because of the oculars used: browns, dark reds and greens. I developed the first two by creating the third, these have more colour and composition consideration. The strengths of these are the textures and media used. To improve I could do some more were I considered the colours and composition more. 

Sellotape Prints For Risk Project (Core Work)

For these I used: sellotape, masking tape, parcel paper, thread, fabric, tissue paper, ink and letter printing blocks. I created mixed media outcomes with these. I think these are quite bold because of the colours and tones used. I placed different papers where the sellotape prints are to create emphasis on the print itself. I think these look very moody because of the coloured used. I also think these have a slightly decayed feel because of the ripped paper. The health and safety issues are that you could hurt yourself on the needles end. These experiments are based on primary imagery. I developed the first ones by creating the other three with different materials such as inks and which prints underneath. The strengths of these are the tones I created with the sallotape prints and lino prints. The areas I could improve are: that i could add more materials such as added glue entrapments on top to create different textures that are layered.
