We started the fine art module today. I like it. After sculpting with paper(previous blog post) I had a ball making my own little paper sculptures. Then making images based on them.
I chose the middle sculpture because it had the best balance (not that you can see that). It was not overly complicated, yet it had enough going on not to be boring.
Guess what the images below are made of...
Shoe polish!
The first one is me getting to grips with using the materials to add the polish and make the image, for example a toothbrush and a bit of cardboard. Its a bit overdone and focuses to much on trying to be accurate in a medium that is nearly impossible to be completely accurate with.
The second is more successful because I tried blending and the scores in the paper add interest without overpowering the image, but it is still a bit messy.
My most successful is my last. I added texture underneath by putting white acrylic on the paper first and masking tape. This adds texture which I think works well. I then used a more varied palette and blended better, creating a more diverse interesting image.
These are then thread and collage strips. The one on the left was done without stitch, just tape, so is looser. The one on the right is more precise. I think the image benefits from the added accuracy, but I feel the plain white background on both makes them a little boring.
