For this project I got text 8, which was ‘The maypole Song’
I decided to add it into a word document and analyse it, highlighting key info and annotate.
Below is the link to the word document.
After this, I decided to research art on fertility, the circle of life, growing and nature.
After researching, I have created some designs.
This is a piece which combines the idea of the male and female with the nature and trees.
I digitally edited the colours on photoshop, adding a green hue, the emphasise the idea around nature.
I decided that because my text was revolving around nature I photographed some leafs from my garden.
I cut out these leaves and photoshopped these overlayed on my drawing. Adding some shadows.
I also decided to write out in rough the first part of the poem, so I could use this as a background to my piece.
Here is my final product
Other designs I created surrounded the idea of pregnancy and fertility.
This first piece is created with oil pastels, using a pregnant female as the subject of the piece. I added vines around the woman to incorporate the ideas from the text of tree’s and nature. I also used earthy, warm tones.
Here is the second piece, I created a base of watercolour and then enhanced the colours and shapes with oil pastels. I used warm tones to present the idea of Autumn. Red, yellow and orange leaves that flow well with the pregnant woman in the branches. It’s as if she is part of the tree.
Here is another version of this piece but the colours have been altered on Adobe Lightroom.
