unit 1

when i started my unit 1 the first thing that i made was the collage of my face, to make this i had to use pieces of magazine articles to get it to match my picture, the best i could.i am happy with this because it looks fairly accurate.

 for this part of unit 1 i had to make something that resembled the things that were in the college grounds, so i used some different leaves that i found in the college garden. i used helicopters for the shape and structure and used glue and thread to keep it stuck together, i also used a large leaf and secured it to the centre of the helicopter leaves, to make it more boyant, because it is going to float down the stream that is in the college garden. by the time it got to the bottom of the stream it had broke in to two pieces.

these are some of my designs from when i went to Mablethorpe to make sand sculptures, the designs that i drew were mainly things that are linked to the beach, i also decided to put some aztec shapes into the designs so that there was something different and more interesting, because i used different materials to draw with i think that it makes the designs stand out more

 after i had drawn my mablethorpe design ideas i had settled on making an umbrella that is typically found at the beach, when i created the sculpture i made it so that it was semi submerged from the sand, this way i managed to get the most detail on the sculptures.

during my unit 1 i went to the yorkshire sculpture park to get a greater knoweledge on how to present my work and make my work better, and also how other people make there work.

 this is what i used to create my lino prints, it is a piece of lino that i have carved into, to create a print, for the prints that i made it needed to be linked to earth, wind, fire and water, my favourite print that i made was the one that was linking to fire because i feel that, that is the one that looks the most effective.
