Quick prints

 

Here are some of my quick prints I created using my drawings from life drawing. To make these prints I took one of my drawings and transferred it onto polystyrene and then used a pen to get all the details once I cut the shape out. When the figure was cut out I then prepared my grounds and rolled the printing paint onto the cut out figure, after the figure was covered in paint I then put it through the printing press,so the figure would come out clearer on the different grounds. 

Skull painting

Here is a painting I created as one of my outcomes, while looking at the anatomy, I decided to paint the front and the sides of the skull so you could see what the human skull looks like from different views, I also painted the collar bones and the spine to make it look more than three floating skulls but to also make it look more realistic.

Red Collection

 

Over the summer I collected a number of red objects for a 'museum of colour' task. From these objects I created a range of outcomes based on the colour red, whither actually creating a copy of the red object or creating something else that is red. 

Leonardo da Vinci - Vitruvian Man

The Vitruvian man is a drawing created by da Vinci in 1490, the piece of work, which is, pen and ink, shows a man fitting his body into a square and a circle by changing the way his limbs are positioned. The image is based on one of the ten books on architecture written by Vitruvius, who was a Roman architect. In the book, which is on the proportions of temples, Vitruvius wrote “that the buildings should be based on the proportions of man, because the human body is the model of perfection, this is shown by the body, with its arms and legs extended fits into the perfect geometric forms, the circle and the square.”Many artists over time have tried to create a piece of art work based on this theory but not many have been able to create an outcome that has been largely successful as da Vinci’s, I decided to look at this piece of work for my life drawing references, the reason that I chose this image to look at was that it is one of my favourite drawings by da Vinci and I think that it is one of the best pieces of work that shows the proportions of the body.

Anatomy Drawings

 These are some of the drawings that I have done as research while looking at anatomy, figure and pattern.  

Colour Resin Samples

                            

These are my resin samples that I made in 3D.  To create these samples I first chose 3 of my red objects that I had collected over the summer holidays, after carefully considering my objects I then created a mould using the vacuum former. After the mould was created, I sprayed the whole thing with a silicon spray to make sure that the resin will be able to come out of the moulds, after spaying the moulds mix the resin with the chosen colour, pour the resin into the moulds and leave to set over 24 hours.
