Just Playing

Just over a month to go until the deadline for my Major Project Brief - 'Freedom'.

Here are a few images of some of the work which I have been frantically making over the past few month.

Well I am very proud of myself today, I have managed to set up a Pinterest account and send my very first ever tweet on twitter! (this is coming from someone who has had an account for three years and has only just learnt how to use it!)

So watch out social media here I come!

Samples

Today I have had a 'sample refinement day' and a mini group crit with my amazing friends at university.

We got all of my samples out in my bay and had fun deciding which ones worked best and which ones I should take forward to develop further.

Final Major Project

I am currently working on my final major project which will be my last ever as a student at CCAD!
For this I have decided to do something completely different and totally out of my comfort zone! I am utilising the use of COLOUR,  STRUCTURE, SHAPE and TEXTURE to produce art work that is FUN!

Some of my colour study work so far;

Colour Exploration day - Having FUN with paint, ink and collage

CCAD Applied Arts Exhibition

As part of our minor project - 'Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover', myself and the other BA (hons) Applied Arts for Enterprise students at CCAD were given the opportunity to showcase our work in a live exhibition space called 'Empty Shop' in Durham.

The exhibition is taking place this weekend (7th, 8th and 9th December) so for anybody who is out and about around the Durham area have a pop in a see some of the fantastic work!

'Dont Judge A Book By It's Cover'

I cant quite believe that it is December already! (where does the time go?), since I last posted on here there seems to have been so much going on that I don't know where to start to update you all.

I guess the most important thing is that I finally finished my foundation degree and now have a FdA in Applied Arts!!
I have decided to go on to top this up to a full BA (Hons) Degree which I am almost 3 months into.

Its been that long since I posted that I have already completed my minor project - this was an 8 week project whereby I was given the task of creating an Artists Book based upon the theme of my dissertation - for which I am writing about the use of Art Therapy.

Here are a few images of some of the work involved;
