Week 23 Watercolour resists

 


Here I did 2 watercolour resists, I really love how colourful and vibrant these have both turned out like. I really love the one with the singular black lined drawing on, being me as a pirate when I was younger, due to the colour bursts of the high pigmented watercolour clashing with the black oil pastel, I think it really pops, then the words and small designs I have drawn around it, it gives me a real creative and colourful, nostalgic and child-like / childish feel to the mood and piece, I really love how it turned out and I love the contrasts between each colour and medium in between it. I think its one of my favourite things that I have done in EPQ as well as my cactus abstract charcoal drawing so far! 

The other water colour resist i did was of me and my little sister when we were alot younger and wore tinsel around our heads at christmas time, I do like how this one turned out but im not completely sure about the style of it, I think its okay, but yeah, I also slightly messed up on my jawline and made it super thick, but I think that it turned out very well as well as the singular drawing too as well! 



Here are the primary images / sources that i used for my EPQ, I found these very fun to work with and I felt as if they had plenty of room to experiment with colour!

Week 13 - Cancelled so INDEPENDENT RESEARCH TRIP TO CARDIFF

Image
 Unfortunately this week and session was cancelled. However I took this time and independently researched into my theme, and went on a trip to Cardiff instead, and took lots of primary sources as Cardiff was a huge part of mine and my sisters childhood, it was so nostalgic, and I took so many photos for primary research etc. I really looked around and as I did, I remembered so many good memories too, taking this independent trip to Cardiff city really helped inspire and inform my current and latest project with more primary sources for childhood and Nostalgia. Here are some of the pictures I took of Cardiff city, and It was so Nostalgic.  I really enjoyed this independent research trip that I went on, I found it very helpful to my project for childhood, as me and my sister would be in cardiff so much in the past when we were small to big kids. I gathered so many nice and lovely photos, of buildings, the trains, Cardiff shopping centre and Cardiff city, I really enjoyed this tr...

Image
Week 4, The starting and everything that i have done so far on my EPQ.  In week 1 i did many mind-maps, exploring what i could do for my EPQ theme, i did research into different pathways and areas that i could explore for my EPQ, i thought of a range of different things and ideas making sure that i am positive and decided in what i will be doing.  For the second week of my EPQ journey, i began yet more mind-maps and mood-boards, making sure that i can really portray all of my ideas down on to paper, noting it down. i filled the pieces of A3 paper really heavily, making sure to use as much paper as needed / possible as well as getting any ideas i could thinking of at the time down and noted.  On week 3, i took part in a lesson where we covered the entire classroom floor in paper, and some lied down while some did the drawing on the floor, week 3 was inspired by Tony Orrico, we tried his way / technique of drawing, where you lie on the ground and wave your arms around and d...
