A long day... but finally they are finished!

As promised, here are the final murals Ewa and I have painted at Warstones Primary School, Wolverhampton. I think they have turned out well, the colours have certainly given some life to the corridors. 

Ewa's lovely designs below.

Sketchbook work

A personal project has meant I've had the chance to have some fun with my drawings and use of collage pattern (my scanner has not reproduced the best quality!) 

It was also an excuse to use the lovely sketchbook my friend had bought me for my last birthday...

Mural Project

I volunteered to work on a project for a school in Wolverhampton. They wanted to brighten up the corridors with paintings that reflect 'aspects of school life'. The corridors were very boring so it wasn't going to take much to add some colour! It has been a challenge and is taking longer than expected but I think the school will be pleased with the results.


Day1

Day 2 Still to be completed with a background and linear detail.

Self Promotional Postcards

So, as my degree show draws closer we are working on getting our promotional postcards printed. I didn't have much time to come up with a new image so incorporated work I have made in my final year. I am quite pleased with them, but with discussions in tutorials the building postcard presented my strengths of composition and linear work better than the mushrooms. Even though I quite like the 'pretty' mushrooms. 
I will be working on a new postcard image for my creative industries module so watch this space! 

Mother's Day

I bought my mom a lovely applique cushion for mother's day. I want one myself!

I thought I would post an interest I took in the card illustrations - I noticed a lot of hand drawn typography.

This is the card I got my mom, the cute little teacups are drawn quite loosely but I like the use of pattern and flow of type. 

Everything must come to an end.

So, the end of my final year is approaching and I thought I would post some of my 'almost' finished pieces for the magazine work I posted earlier.

Working on the solutions has been tough, discussions with tutors has really helped push my visual work. Looking at them now I can't decide whether there is a lot of white space??
