Workshops and Ideas

Mono-Printing

This is mono printing. I explain the different techniques within the sketchbook and how I can improve it and what I have done that came out well.

Print Making

These are the 2 images I took which were tests to see if the paint is too thick so I couldn’t do my print on top of it as it has to be really thin.

This was my failed piece as the ink dried up and the paper didn’t pick it up so the lines are faint and didn’t really work well at all. However it was my first piece and I redid it and made sure to not make the ink dry up and to make sure I press hard onto the paper with the pen.

This was my collaged piece and my finished project and how I explained what went through my mind and how I created this print.

I added images of the artists work.

Zine

This is the inside of the Zine and what I’ve done for it.

This is the refrence image I used to make the back of the girl.

Generating ideas

This was to gather ideas and see what I wanted to go with. Eventually I chose this idea but in a different form.

Mixed media

This really helped me on what I’m wanting to do for my final piece.

Batik

This really helped finalise my idea for the final piece. Batik is when you apply wax onto the fabric so the ink doesnt flood into your design. You then apply ink onto your sketch and see how the wax doesn’t let the ink out. After that you iron the wax out and then your piece is complete.

This was the sketch I did for the batik.
This was the image refrence I took for it.

Recycled Materials.

I talk more about James Owen Thomas in my artist research and went to his gallery and posted the pictures in Primary research.

Blotted Line Drawings

Blotted line drawing is when you trace your drawing with tracing paper and then taping it on a sheet of paper then flipping the tracing and using ink on the other side of it then gently tapping the ink on the paper to create an effect.

This was a failed attempt and I scrapped it. Next time I would try again if I have time and make sure the ink absorbs into the paper but not too much as it overwhelms the image I had envisioned.
This was the inspo I used for the drawing.

Drawing practice

This is just a quick lesson we did where we had to close our eyes and draw with our non dominant hand then proceed to do the same with our dominant one. This helps us envision an idea however due to closing our eyes we cant possibly put it onto paper accurately which opens more ideas to what the piece may look like. After that we had gotten magazines and we could stick stuff onto it. Due to my concept following fashion I stuck on fashion magazinds and made a dress and added more chalk like drawings behind to really stick to this idea. It was a fun idea sketch up and in the future if I were to do this again I would due to the ideas I may come up with.
