GCSE Art - Introduction and Still Life Project.

I take GCSE art and I love it. I am in my second year of doing the GCSE course and so far I have really enjoyed it. In the weeks to come, I will be posting about all of the work I have done so far; including the study of artists such as Audrey Flack, I will write about my repeating patterns and how they fitted in with the 'chinoiserie' theme. Another topic I have looked at is the British Arts Show 7 (BAS7) and the 'Burghers of Calais'.

The most recent topic is the Still Life work. I am coming to the end of this section of work and I will be starting my final piece next week. I will be using a medium sized canvas and acrylic paints (well, that's my hopes for the moment, but I may find that a different media would be more suited, but there aren't really any restrictions in the mediums that I can use). In this post I have included the pictures I took of my jar (and the contents of the jar), although, at the moment, I am still unsure which picture to use for my canvas piece, but the second picture is my favourite at the moment, but I want to make sure that I have chosen the right one before I start!

How I Love the Autumn Leaves

How I Love the Autumn Leaves

This Bridge (Holne bridge) is a medieval bridge and was re-built in 1413.

This is my Dad, on a sunny, yet autumnal day. These are the links to his blog:-

The river that runs under New bridge (called the River Dart) is known to 'take a life a year'

This bridge is also a popular place for kayaking and Canoeing.
