Summer work <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Past present and future postcards <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Future <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This one is future because throughout college I have picked up on a new skill of sewing and also figured out that I like to draw portraits so for my future I want to dive deeper into this way of working <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Present <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This one is present because I currently like painting and watercolour as well as still liking to draw animals <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Past<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
this represents my past because when I was little I used to love drawing sketches and doodles as well as drawing cartoons style animals. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As part of my planning I made an ideas mind map of words I think of when I hear the word dreams. I also took some ideas from the group discussion we had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After that I decided I wanted to focus this project on nightmares and I did a little bit of research into it and I liked the idea of disguise and how dreams can be strange and that they sometimes don’t make any sense, which could give a creepy feel to my project. So I wanted to base my project on demonic weird disguise which I find to be quite interesting and thrilling. So as part of my planning I created another creative mind map of listing words that I think of when I see the words creepy , strange and disguise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next I did some idea experiments and I tested out collage. I found this to be quite successful and simple to do and quite relaxing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Japanese artists began to stick paper onto silk as early as the 11OO. In Europe, paper collage is the first recorded in Europe in the 1400. By the following century , the technique was being put to practical use in anatomical “flap-books”, woodcut prints, layering skin and sinew over internal organs. In the Victorian period, collage in the form of scrapbooks and home made Valentines day cards became immensely popular pastime . Charls Dickens and the actor William Macready , created a huge scrap-work folding screen , with 400 engravings collaged on both sides. Early photographers developed a practice of splicing images together , allowing them to meddle with temporality and dissolve the boundaries between the natural and supernatural – a theme that the surrealists would explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mono printing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I also experimented with mono printing and testing out different ways of printing ghost prints and I also tried using mark making techniques .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I made the Mono Prints:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

step1: First, I covered a gel plate with ink using a roller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

step2: Next , I covered the inked gel plate with a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

step3: Then, I pressed my hand on top of the paper I also used a pen lid to create the texture and mark making lines by rubbing it on the paper on top of the gel plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

step 4: Finally, I pealed of the paper the reveal the designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create the ghost prints I used the same technique just using less ink to get the ghostly effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I also found some research about print in a book called “What Is Print? “selections from the museum of art”. From the college library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A print is a work of art that is made by transferring an image from an inked surface to a sheet of paper and that exists as one multiple impression, which together continues an edition. print making is a vast field that offers a full palette of artistic opportunities ; it is age-old practice that continues with unrelenting vigor in the twenty-first century, hewing close to tradition while always exploring its boundaries. The impulse behind print making – the desire to leave imprint-can be traced back to hand prints made on walls of caves in the Paleolithic Era. Today, print making consists of primarily of four families of techniques: relief processes, which includes wood cut and linoleum cut; intaglio mediums like engraving , etching and planographic forms such as lithography, and stencil processes, most notably screen print. The techniques each have their own history – having migrated from religious , craft, or commercial uses to artistic ones-and provided a means of producing an image in multiple copies before the advert of photography. While printing is still most commonly done on paper, it can also be done on felt, wallpaper, concreate , and many other surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My least successful prints are the ones that are heavily inked and most pigmented. This is because they don’t look very ghost like and they look over done and over exaggerated. Although, I do like how I can clearly see the shape of my hand print. I also don’t like the print which I tried dragging my hand down the paper. This is because the shape of my hand is lost and it looks like I have carelessly covered the sheet in red thick ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I try this again I will focus more on the ghost print approach as it fits in to my theme the best and overall it was the most successful method.

Artist research: Hannah Hoch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To follow up on the collage work I did I decided to research an artist called Hannah Hoch which I can see does collaged art. I also created an inspired piece that is inspired by her style of collaging but also relates to my theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batik <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I also tested out batik. Although I did enjoy this creating this I don\u2019t think I would do this again in this project because I want to go down the root of painting and drawing and this technique isn\u2019t my specialist practice although I do like the design and the colour scheme I went for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
