Photoshop exercise

Image
Today we have been learning to paint in layers on photoshop. We were provided with a tutorial worksheet which we made our way through (with a lot of help from Dave in my case!) The image we had to work on was a line drawing of Captain Ahab & Moby Dick and we coloured it in using various methods and layers. We learned to use lots of different tools, but how much of it I will remember is another matter!  I made lots of notes and we still have access to the tutorial sheets, so I guess I just need to practice!

Museum Project Research

Image
As I have decided my Museum Project piece will be based on The Swimming Pool by Thomas Rathmell, today I have been researching other artists who have painted the subject. The obvious swimming pool painter is of course David Hockney, but many other artists revel in the challenge of painting the human body submerged in water - Samantha French and Scout Cuomo are a couple of my favourites, but today I have found other wonderful, inspirational art and artists working along this theme.

V&A, Interviews and Swimming Pool Piece Progress

Image
Panic over!  My interviews at Cardiff Met went well and I have been offered an unconditional place on the Artist, Designer Maker course and a conditional place on the Fine Art course. I still have my interviews at Hereford on 10th Jan, and I still have no idea which one I will choose if I get offers for all 4, but the pressure is off - I will definitely be going to university in September! Woo-hoo! In an attempt to try to relax the day before my interviews, I joined a college trip to the V&A. I thought it might take my mind off things and it worked - I got a solid 8 hours sleep the night before which was desperately needed! I love the V&A - such a variety of exhibits. I have a strange obsession with the iron & steel area - I could spend a whole day in there admiring the wrought iron and steel paterns and the shadows they cast on the walls!  Maybe I should look into blacksmith courses...😄 Wrought Mild Steel Grille - Klaus Walz - 1980 "Buddug's Apron Nu...
