Assignment 1

                         SAY HELLO
                     ASSIGNMENT 1


In this assignment I was asked to create a getting card and to introduce myself.I first done a mind map of different ideas relating to some interests of my own and then thought about making a character from them to put on to a card. I decided to think about what sort of materials I would use and how I would design the card. I thought 9about all the different colours I could use that would be compatible to the design and connect the colours to the design of what it would be.  I decided to make a girl meditating my ideas came from getting the gist when I took words and pictures from my them in my exercise, All of the words I found where very much related to my own personality and interest's. I did some sketches of different flowers, animals, stars sun moon. I was doodling and just done what came to mind from reading the article in my previous exercise. These pictures I done then gave me the idea to draw a girl in a lotus flower with a aura around her meditating and I used the word tranquility which relates to what she is feeling. 

These are my doodles I like to do these as part of my ideas. Sometimes I will sketch lots of different ideas so that I can come up with my final piece of work I find doing this helps my imagination. 

  I find writing my brainstorms in list's       easier 
After thinking from ideas lists I then thought of sketching in some ideas. I thought of doing flowers, stars, moons, a character then thing to do with nature. I just did some rough sketching to bring me some inspirational thoughts of what my final picture would look like. I just used pencil in this. 




Then I came to the point of designing my card so I used a real card with a photograph of my picture on the front and with my arts and crafts I have I decorated the card and used a word that would connect to what the picture is saying. 
I found I was drawing this girl then rubbing it out quite a lot I seem to of wasted much time on trying to hard and trying make my drawing perfect my weakness is getting frustrated then wanting to give up and feel it may not be good enough if it isn't completely right. so I feel I need to spend less time on doing this as it takes up a lot of my hours I have. I used pencil and watercolor pink and blue. Then used pen ink to do the outlining. 

   Hello my name is Maria I would like to introduce myself, I love the outdoors and the natural world. I like to study different cultures, philosophy's and spirituality's. I enjoy meditation relaxation painting and drawing. I spend a lot of time with my dog daisy and we love taking walks in the park by the river and days out in the countryside. I like to spend time at home cooking, making things from my crafting box and reading. I love music, films and the theatre. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and my favourite drink is coffee in my local cafe. I find my self to be a deep thinker. I love to draw and paint pictures in like my own company and always find something to fill my day. I love watching all the nature programmes and how the universe works and love all animals, I have always been interested in drawing since I was younger but never felt I had the confidence to do a course. Until one day I decided to just go for it. I look forward to my new journey and hope to find my own individuality & identity in art and hope to one day use what I have learned to create cards, bookcovers, and use illustration to create my own canvass drawing to sell.

The history of illustration For my first exercise I decided to choose EH Shepard. I loved wind in the willows when I was growing up and winny the poo. He was a illustrator from England London he was born on December the 1st 1879. His creativity came from both parents his mother used watercolours in her drawings. He attended St Paul's school where his uncle was the headmaster. The teachers already knew that he was good at art and he won a scholarship and continued his subjects in art. Earnest was a likable person and was nicknamed giddy kipper.  WHY DID HIS WORK SEEM OLD-FASHIONED His work seem very old fashioned as the scenery was set in what would of been the 1930's era. It seemed very olde worldy set in a quaint English countryside. The character's where dressed in the style of clothing that would of been the style of clothing suited for the 1930's. The impression I got from wind in the willows scenery was that it had a dated quality.  What was it about the contempora...
