This is the series of work I produced for my drawing class in block one. (Finally took some photographs of them). Made by scratching/etching into (2) pyrex surfaces and (1) a piece of glass. Charcoal and pastels then smudged into each mark made on the surface. Similar outcome to printmaking without all the fannying around.

The new brief for Pathways Project part two was given out on Monday (20/02/2012) based on Visual Communication to create a poster and a flyer for a topic of your choice for the Boness Hippodrome. Not actually thought about what direction I want to go yet. However, I have been messing around with a few idea which have came to mind: 




These will be elaborated more within my sketchbook work and why I have decided to choose these images and narrative paths.




Following this I also though it would be a good idea to do some more for for my 'Transformation' brief within the Specialist Skills Module. Still not too clued up to where we are heading with this on-going Specialist Skills Module and I believe everyone else is the same. Here is some of the experimentation I have been doing, looking at the concepts of time and how things can change (Moulding). I would like to see how far I can take this and see what different shapes and forms I can produce using time.

Left for a certain period of time will the shape or form of the fungus or bacteria end up growing upward - will it look like -



Taking a form which we can all recognise as something else - 'a clown'.
