Foundation work

Foundation work

In my foundation year, I had just learnt how to use photoshop etc..so when I took pictures and drew some illustrations I would combine them on photoshop just to play around and see what I could do and I used to get really carried away with doing it.

The trees spell out the words LOST and the reason for this is because in my foundation year, I felt lost in the world of art (in a good way if that makes any sense)...it was a little daunting for me at first when I had started the course because the last time I was involved with art properly was my g.c.s.e's which at that time was four years ago. And the foundation year, I was only just at that point beginning to appreciate art in a whole new way and that made me more confident in being able to express myself in a way that I had never felt comfortable in doing so before, so I felt maybe a little overwhelmed but excited in being able to explore what I could do and how I could do it in the world of art today with all the new technology!

I made it again but spelt out my name in the trees for this blog!

I loved going out taking pictures and I would merge them on photoshop just experimenting but this wasn't the work I normally tended to do, as I worked in my sketch books and painted but having just learnt photoshop and using my photographs I liked what I was seeing at it was different to what I normally, so I started to do a lot more of it and plus it gave me more of an excuse to use my a lot more so I could use the pictures in my work!!

Again this was about feeling lost....so the idea was that your there but your not...just a shadow! It's quite scary looking! 

Another image I did about feeling lost...I love drawing fairies though..(don't no why) but I just get lost in my own world most of the time, I'm often away with the fairies myself and being involved with art has made day dream even more so because Im jus thinking about the next thing I can make and create!!

 I did this in my sketch book before I got myself hooked on photoshop....and I do slightly regret not having done more of this work at the time but I will do more when I get some some good snap shots of places!

More sketch book work for the project lost

Just like the fairy picture, I did these because I get carried away in my own thoughts a lot as I said before and the faces blend in and don't stand out, like there lost in the colour of the painting, and there also facing away like there in there own thought!

Again.....lost on an Island, that has a tree! So very random!
