week 4.

At home I started to illustrate shape. I drew around my hand in various positions around the page and then began to doodle across the page. Once i had finished scribbling the pattern, I simply coloured it in. This caused many problems. For this design, I did not want two colours to touch, but in many places they did. Therefore, to solve this i had to re-draw certain areas so they remained separate. However, I am not completely satisfied with this piece. If i was to restart , I would choose different colours as I think using separate colours for each section makes the piece look childish.

As the shape piece was mainly completed at home, it did not take long for me to finish this within sole. So I started texture. I painted my background using black paint, and using the techniques we learnt in textiles, I used puff binder to create the skeleton hands. I then drew on the definition using white pencil.

For my next art piece, I took the word 'abstract' from the 3D workshop. I again painted the background black like I had for the texture piece. I then drew out a hand and cut it into sections, painting them different colours. I then pieced the hand back together but moved them away from each other so it no longer resembled a solid hand. Once they were stuck down, I wrote a different part of 

the definition onto one of the pieces of hand.

I also continued my Pattern piece by colouring the hand, henna and background. I need a cream pencil to full complete this.

I used tracing paper for 'Balance'. I had previously found an image on Pinterest that i liked for me to draw. I equally divided the page into four quarters and copied one section onto the tracing paper so i knew how much space i could use to draw onto. I then split this quarter into two and wrote on the definition onto the bottom, smaller part, drawing the hand on the larger part. Using the paper, I mirrored the sketch into all the other quarters.

The final piece I did this week was another word taken from a workshop; 'Screen Printing'. To do this I used the same method I had learnt from the textiles workshop. I used multiple colours through the screen to create this effect. However, doing this has caused some of the procion dye to smudge in certain places. I also printed the same design onto paper to use in my sketch book.
