Editing Photos

 I edited some primary and secondary photos to link to Jan Levy's artwork.

I edited the images by using an online site to add different effects and change elements of the photographs; including the contrast, temperature, highlights, shaddows, ect.

Laura Barnard

An artist that I looked at after drawing my idea for my polyboard, was Laura Barnard.
I was able to discover that there is an artist, whose work is similar to the style I used to create my composition for my print.

Jan Levy

The other artist I looked at is Jan Levy.

Jan Levy also uses very extravigant colours, however there is no simplicity in the work.

This is the website I used in order to gather information and secondary images.

Paul Catherall

Whilst my teacher was away on a trip I had to analyse two artists out of a list of four.

Paul Catherall is an artist whose work I annaylsed.

Paul Catherall is a printmaker and illustrator, who is based in London. He produces sharp, clean lino prints of landmarks within cities.

His artwork reminds me of the collages I have had to produce in class.

Blinging out my cover...

Over the weekend I took the scraps of my mum's fabric and began decorating the front cover of my sketch book.

I wanted my sketchbook to look appealing, unique and represent my personality/style from the second you set eyes on my book.

Collograph: the sketch

In order to create my collograph I needed to sketch a simple image from my primary images. This was my half term homework (4th June - 8th June). I decided to shade the drawing, as I believe my sketchbook is lacking in tonal drawings; therefore I wanted to demonstrate my ability in the skill. For my collograph I won't include the shading in order to allow it to be simplier and therefore I'll be able to produce a successful collograph.

Stephen Wiltshire

Stephen Wiltshire is an autistic artist who specialises in drawing skylines using thin, black pen.
He was the first artist that I researched for this unit.

The image above is one of the many panoramas Wiltshire has drawn purely from memory.

In this piece of work Wiltshire used paint to heighten the attractive, auburn, autumn leaves. I'm particularly fond of this image because I myself enjoy painting trees with watercolour, as I admire the fresh and natural, yet mesmorising colours and textures it adds to the atmosphere. He rarely uses colour, therefore he has specifically decided that the colour in the trees are worth adding to his artwork. As a result, he too may have fondness of the organic beauty of trees.

The image is of Albert Bridge in London.^^
