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. 

Creating Text And Lettering For Risk Project (Core Work)



For these I used a range of papers, pencil crayons, acrylic paint, chalk, glue and letter stencils. With these materials I created experimental mixed media letter responses. These look very decayed and have a natural feel because of the colours used: browns, rushy copper, and beige. I think these look quite bold too because of the arrangement of the materials. I combined many materials and letters to create abstract responses. The ripped paper make these looked decayed. Also the layering created lots of textures. The strengths of these are the composition of the letters and materials. To improve these I could combine these with some of my other work to create primary responses with lettering.

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. 

Summer Part of The Project Risk (Core Work)





During the summer I had an assignment to take photographs and to do some studies. For these I used graded pencils and a fine liner pen. These created tone to the shaded areas when needed. Above are some of the studies I did. I think these look a bit dull because of graded pencils. I used fine liner pen to define and add cross hatching for shading when needed. The graded pencils make these look moody because of the tones I used. These studies are of primary imagery I took while I was in Manchester. I think the fine liner one turned out better because it shows more details and tones. The strengths of these are the details and tones I created when using fine liner and graded pencils. I could improve these by adding more media such as charcoal and graphite.
