Cardboard Human Heart


For this cardboard object I was given a cardboard box and I had to think of a way to transform it into a human form piece, so I cut the box into small pieces and hot glued them all together.
I then drew my heart design and carved it out and sanded it to shape, then carving into the more difficult areas.

Urban Fashion Project


This piece is a oversized necklace made from safety pins, ripped fabric and wool to make the tassels.
I made the flower type scrunched material effect by getting a square of fabric and piercing the safety pin through over till the pin was filled with fabric. I repeated this over to fill the whole back panel of fabric, and I also made the tassels by hand.

Pointillism A2 Apple


For this piece I chose to use a pointillism technique and do it in oil pastels as it creates a better effect.
This piece is on an A2 piece of thick paper and the whole page is covered with the oil pastel dots. I also used blue and a little bit of orange to make contrasting colours stand out also with the contrasting red and green. 

Colour techniques Apple







For these pieces I tried focusing on colour techniques to make my art more interesting, so I used colour contrasting, pointillism, block colours and soft palettes.

Cubism Pastels






For these five oil pastel, graphite and other media pieces I had a pomegranate, banana, apple and tea pot to draw, the objects got positioned differently for each picture and used a cubism effect to make them sharp and bold. I also only used black, white and one bold colour for each picture.

Objects to draw


These are the objects I had to draw for my Cubism pieces.

Oil Pastel Banana


This is the start of my food/fruit themed project and I picked a banana to draw and used the whole banana by drawing it whole then the peel and slices.
I drew this in black and white oil pastels.
