Final Art Piece for my A2 Exam

Size: 100cm x 100cm
Materials used: Acrylic paint, liquified grass and mud
This is my final design for my A2 art piece. This piece represents all the work in which i have built up using the different artists. My main reasoning behind this piece is the heritage and background in which I come from, representing my life as a journey and how I see myself as an individual.

Collaboration of work

Size: each piece is approximately A2 size
Materials used: Natural materials such as grass, mud, bark, stones, leaves and sticks
More Richard Long inspired art pieces in which i usedthe same idea and concept as him, however i decided to use my own initiative and create different designs to represent my journeys. The two planks of wood at the top is a piece which is inspired by Longs textual art pieces.

England-SA - A2 Art exam

Size: A3
Materials used: Bark, Liquified grass and mud
I studied Richard Longs use of organic and natural materials in preparation for my final piece in my art exam. This piece of work was influenced by the journey of mine from different countries, using the same context as Richard Long in his art pieces.

Shaded body - Life drawing

Size: A2
Materials used: Chalk and coloured dry pastels
This piece of work was a direct drawing of the woman lying down for approximately 15 - 20 minutes. I have focused on the shapes of her body by using a more subtle approach by using the chalk to show the lighting affect on her figure.

Life drawing

Size: A2
Materials used: Charcoal and chalk
I used the influence of cubism in the first picture to give the figure a more rigid and direct shape. The second picture I repeated different positions of the woman ontop of eachother. Although the picture looks very confusing I like the way in which each drawing brigns another one out.
Size: A3
Materials used: Charcoal and colour pastels
Another piece of work I did during life drawing lessons. The first picture i used a different way of drawing by using the edge of the charcoal to give it a more swift, easy figure drawing. The second picture I did quick contour line drawings over eachother to give a different effect using a variety of colours.

Contour drawings

Size: A3
Materials used: Charcoal and coloured pastels
I used the technique of contour line drawing which was a quicker technique used than the shadowed pictures I did. The coloured contour lines represent the proximity of the person. The red representing the body being closer and the blue representing it being further away.
