AS exam sketchbook

My AS exam sketchbook was base on life, and with life you get death, so I decided I would work of a piece where these are combined. This was quite a strange piece, and worried my teacher a little, and I’m still not sure why I even decided I would do it… But below are the photo’s from my sketchbook and final piece. For some reason I also enjoy drawing eyes, so there’s a lot of them in my sketchbook – window to the soul and life. I also used a friends face, to try and draw him as a skeleton, as part of my work to work out proportions.

AS Course work

For my AS level course work, for my art, I chose the topic of growing up. I expanded on one of my GCSE sketchbooks, as you can probably see. It was one of my favourite sketchbooks, and one of my lighter topics. My work went on to darker topics later on. Let me know what you think.

World of curves

At school we had a competition, which all of us art students entered. You had to take a photography, and the theme was the world of curves.  The photo’s below were my photo’s I took for the theme. I ended up entering the photo of the wooden banisters, but I have no idea who won in the end (I don’t remember, so it obviously wasn’t me or one of my friends). My favourite is actually the photo of the phone cord curled up. But these photo’s I took when I had just begun to learn how to take proper photographs, so I was quite proud of them.

Llanthony Priory

I went with my mum and brother the same year, to Llanthony Priory, as a day out. It was really picturesque, and so I took a lot of photo’s to use for my art. I later used these for a section on structure in one of my AS level sketchbooks. Feel free to comment.

Paris 2011

I went to Gwernyfed 6th form, and took Math, Physics and Art for my A-levels. As part of my art course, we were given the opportunity to go to Paris for five days. It was the best trip I’ve ever been on. We went as a group of around 15 art and business students, we spent our five days going around to see the main tourist attractions and galleries. It was brilliant, and we took hundreds of photo’s. I selected some of my favourites to post below. The trip was then used to inspire our art work, and you may see some links in my later work. If you are ever given to opportunity to go on a school trip like this, I would highly recommend it. My brother went on one to Brussels and enjoyed it immensely. I would love to go back at some point, […]

My wall

Between GCSE art and A-level (6th form) I started doing more anime/ manga/ cartoon drawings. They were to help me picture the scene’s in one of my old stories (which I still haven’t finished!). I put them on my wall, and slowly they built up to cover it. They’re still there now, 4 years later. The following photo’s show a selection of them, and the vast extend of coverage.
