Here are some life drawings that i did in my session today. i decided that i didnt want to draw or paint and thought that i could collage instead. i really enjoyed it so much as it was a different way of working in my class.

My first ever animation..

This is my first animation. i know in areas its a bit sketchy but i have learnt so much from this project.

It was based on a poem by Robert frost and is all painted collaged papers.

Secrets project

After doing some experimentation i decided that due to the title of the project being 'Secrets 'The invisible made visible', I decided that I was going to produce 10 individual small stamps in the middle of 10 individual pieces of a2 paper. After producing these small versions I wanted to take this a little bit further and with the idea of being visible I developed the idea of the stamp and instead of that I made a small embossed version in the middle of the paper making it still visible but not as obvious and easy to see as they are secrets. I tried to photograph them but it didn't come out well but here are a few of the stamps in different colours.

Secrets project (initial ideas)

I was given a Project to create 10 a2 images on on the theme of a sequence. I decided to do it on 10 secrets and here were some of my first ideas and just experimenting.
