Transformations

When doing the transformations brief, it gave me a chance to use workshops such as clay, ceramics, wood, metal and plaster. This was the first brief so it also gave us a chance to get to know everyone else on the course. I ended up doing an oil painting that had developed from initial drawing sketches of the body. I looked at taking my own photos of a body where the flesh was scrunched up, so you couldn't distinguish what the photograph was actually of. I then painted oil on canvas, the cropped photograph. I thought about the use of my colour palette, where the image of the body were not specifically using fleshy colour tones, but instead using rather bright colours, to trick the eye.

When doing my oil painting I found I had a shorter amount of time than I would have liked. So I therefore descaled the initial size of the painting, and painted a much more manageable sized painting, given more time I would of liked to have done the painting larger. I will consider this in 2nd year.
