Second year symester one..Project one -Newspapers and headlines

Our brief to start off witth was newspapers and headlines.that could include gossip, magazines, newspapers and news on the television.I found the start of this project really hard and began with the serian chemical warfare but then i decided to make the headlines light and humourous.

Mask to symbolise the war

funny facts

my first idea

Silk Screen

The project on home from the lithography weeks has lead me on to looking at rusty locks and anchor chains.

My finished piece to represent my home

I then had to etch my stone twice and after the second time I inked up my stone with a drying ink and I ended up with two finished pieces.

Lithography.drawing onto the stone

I then drew onto the stone after it was grounded down and smooth.I drew onto the stone using grease prncils and crayons.I scraped back into the stone with a sharp edge and lightened areas with a rubber

Lithography project - Home

Lithography is a form of printing.You print an image from the stone using grease,water and etch.First of all I had to grind the limestone using three different salts to make it smooth.

Brief- Urban inviroment

I took the brief urban environment and made work to do with alcohol in the city to carry on from my last two weeks.I decided to make the wood block on how alcohol impacts the community.This is shown by the the broken bottle shards to represent the broken community or link between the drinker and the people who live in the city.

The next image i done was in intaglio and i wanted to convey what it looked like when drunk.I done this by overlapping images onto a different image and adding backwards writing to higlight slurred words.
