3. Animal- Continuous change
In these posters, I wanted to show how animals have become more domesticated by continuous change in their lives. The first image is a squirrel that has become comfortable accepting food from people in the park. The symbol is a squirrel looking for food how they would normally forage. The second image demonstrates how after time and through the continuous change in the environment and life animals have become dependent and trusting of humans.
2. Mineral-Visualize what you can’t see.
These posters are showing the minerals that’s in water. I draw the chemical structures of the minerals into the water to show that it is part of the water thus being able to ‘visualize what you can’t see’. I also added the equations that creates the minerals just to add another way that you could visualize them.
These A2 posters demonstrate how nature is being taken over by people destroying areas to build on. I chose to show the transition from natural to artificial by firstly my photographs of the trees in the center of the poster. The first image there is a tree accompanied by other trees on the sides. The next image its just one stand alone tree; the last image is one tree but with buildings in the background. This shows that gradually there is becoming less nature until eventually, it starts becoming artificial. Secondly, the symbols I drew are all trees. They start with all the lines connected to show it untouched. Then the lines start to become detached yet still grounded to show that it becoming interrupted. This results in the last symbol becoming detached from the ground as if the tree had been chopped down. Lastly, the images in the background are from leaflets. The first one is set in a forest, the second is a nature park and the last is an amusement park. This shows a gradual transition from natural to artificial.
20 Alternative compositions using black and white media.
I created these images by photographing the 30 drawings individually and arranging them in photoshop. I just experimented with the placement, adding and removing the images. Once I was happy with the composition I saved them and went on to the next.
This is my favourite composition I produced. Although I like the ‘busy’ images I really like the use of negative space and the simplicity of this image.
I would like to develop these images in the future, I think it would be interesting to add some colour in certain areas.
30 Drawings:
1.Animal
Pen and wash drawings.
2.Mineral
Line work using a range of pens so that I could achieve different line thicknesses.
3.Vegetable
Pencil drawings.
I chose to use different media for each set of drawing so once I start to combine them for the second part of this brief it will be clear to see which category the images are from.
Book 1:
This was a really quick and simple book to make. It only requires folding and one cut in the middle of the paper.
Book 2:
This book was a little more time consuming, but worth the effort for a more sophisticated looking book. I found this very helpful and I will be using this technique in future projects.
Book 3:
These books are my favourites out of the three. I think this an easy yet rewarding technique to learn. I was very proud after making these book. I also found it really enjoyable to continued to make a few of them.
This is the final 12 images that our group selected from the hundreds of pictures we had. I thought we did well in this project and I was very happy with the end result. However, it seemed that the feedback from the crit wasn’t very positive due to there not being enough exploration presented in the crit. I knew personally that I had done a lot of exploration so I will present it in my own sketchbook so I benefitted from the group crit.
11th November 2016
I had done mono print in college but it was a different style of mono print that had had done. I really enjoyed learning this new technique and I was happy with the end result of my print. The stencil and the ink transferor worked out really well.
Natural Light:
I really like these images, I thought the shoots were successful however I thought they wouldn’t work well presented in the sketchbook with the other images as they are too different and they don’t compliment each other.
