Started woodcuts today and so far it sounds good. So we each had to pick a story or an incident from our own experience. Believe it or not I found it so hard to think of a story. I chose the time my sister ran over a cat. These are a few images i came up with.

My Final Collagraph piece.

I started to print onto phonebook cut outs and any paper i could get my hands on i then stuck them onto larger prints.

Will post up image of final piece soon.

Collagraph

So we started Collagraph this week and it seems really interesting.During easter break i started working in my sketchbook and changed my idea .I started to look at hidden identity and when you don't want to be noticed.I want create a large crowed using collagraph and cover the wall in it.

                                                        Collagraph Print rolled up in red.

On photoshop i tried out different scales .Separated images and bitmapped them .

From this i put them onto a screen and started printing.

silk screen

I love the work of Daryl Vocat.I love his use of  block bold colours and his fine line drawings.

I also love the work of Equipo Cronica.

So i'm delighted that i got into print.Our first project was titled notions of identity.We get to try out screen print and collagraph print in this project which i cannot wait to try.I made a mind map trying to get my head around an idea.

I based my project on our physical identity .what we are identified by.I started the project with sick screen.These are a few images i drew up of people i know and highlighted what they are identified by.
