Foundation Blues.
I am missing my Foundation year quite alot at the moment. Not the course itself, (although it was amazing) but my friends I made there and my little studio space tucked up in textiles. Without a doubt the best year in education i've ever had. University is fun but freshers is way too laid back for me. I like it pacey and stressful when it comes to art with as many deadlines as possible.
Darey reading my childrens book! I'm still so proud of that!
Lindsey with her horrific tortued puppet. Super douper stuff!
Me and Harley with his amazing crosses. I like Harleys work. I don't always understand it mind...
My lovelys in the V and A on our London trip. One of the bets trips ever. Four good friends and lots of art. I slept for about a week after that. We walked ten hours a day, ended up in the red light district of London and smuggled coco pops out at breakfast. It was a giggle.
My little space tucked up in textiles. I am a messy worker. Four tables was essential.
Another one day project...
We did a one day project at the start of our first term to accompany our "Ghost Stories" Project. (I may post that up at some point) We were all given a book title, and we had to create a new front cover for the book, however we could only use black ink, and it had to be A3 size. I was very apprehensive about this as I haven't done hardly any ink work at all. I decided to keep it simple and concentrate on creating flourishes and swirls and added block text which I added spikes to as my title was a book of voodoo spells.
I then decided to use a container to put my swirls in, so I created a silluette of a medicine bottle.
I think for a days work my outcome was quite successful. The final outcomes aren't anything special but I learnt heaps about using ink and single colour in my designs.
I really enjoyed this project in the end and I feel much more confident in using ink and use it in my project briefs. Shows it pays to be at university after all!
And now for something completely different..
I've actually taken some photos that aren't of animals! Thats a shock. Heres my attempt at anouther type of photography...
Flowers...
I am not the hugest fan of photographing flowers, but even I have got to admit my mum does a pretty stunning job on her garden...
