NEWQUAY

So every year for the past 13 years me and my family go down to Newquay for the family holiday. We have the usual family holiday where my younger brother is in the pool all holiday, dad sits in the bar watching the sports and mum reads her book complaining it's too warm, and me well i do anything to get away with them. Where we stay has a great beach with amazing views. the sunsets over the hills and into the water, its fascinating. i can't help myself when i'm down there than to go 'happy snapping' every night.

Here are my favourite four photographs from the previous years;

DOODLING AT NIGHT

So last night me and a friend were talking about making t-shirts with alternative characters on them; Cinderella with tattoos and piercings. This got me thinking about the idea and i started to doodle up an image, i looked at the work of  'Tim Sharmate Illustrations.' It helped me to think of new ideas.

Done in Fineliners.

This is just the start;

DAYS OUT WITH A FRIEND AND A CAMERA

So in 2010 i left school and was awaiting to start college. I spent most of my holidays skating and taking photographs, one day me and a friend got let loose with one of the nicest camera's i have ever seen! We spent the whole day taking photographs of each other in 'modelling poses' and the scenery.

FMP PROJECT, BRITISH CULTURE -GRAPHICS

For my final major project with culture i chose to do the British culture of the 1980' with the Punk scene being the main influencer. The mediums i used for this project were not ones i am used to using such as screen printing, spray painting and collage.i enjoyed using new techniques but took a while to understand the stencilling process of detailed images. This project had so many outcomes but for Graphics we had to make a poster to go into the TATE Gallery. My final piece consisted of scans of all my prints, placed in a thumbnail layout with the body text at the bottom. The artists i studied for this project were; Craig Michael Martin, Jamie Reid and Patrice Poch. these artist influenced everything i did within this project as their work and mine are very alike.

Here are just some of my outcomes;

YEAR TWO SPECIALISM-FINE ART

This project was to study the work of Robert Rauschenberg with the outcome of an A3 canvas. These are just some of my work inspired by Rauschenberg. Done by using a variety of mediums such as Pastels and watercolour. I enjoyed making these compositions as they were different and spontaneous.

GRAPHICS-COLOUR SYMBOLISM

My brief was to study 'Colour Theory' with the outcome of 5 colour compositions to relate to colour  symbolism. The artists i studied throughout this project were David Carson, Stefan Sagmeister. The compositions had to be 125x120cm. To get the background research i looked at colour theory as a whole with tints/hint, analogous/complementary/tertiary colours and more. Throughout the process or the project i have many outcomes and ideas for these compositions but these are the final ones
