Wax crayons and pieces of magazines used. Inspired by a front cover of an magazine. Different colours giving the different tonal parts of the face.

Watercolour background. Corresponds with the colours of the shell. One shell is done using just black bio the other using markers and charcoal pencils. In an almost cartoonish, graphic design. Inspired by shell I saw at Borough market, at a sea food stall.

Evaluation:

For both task we were briefed with the idea to explore London and gather as much primary reserach as we can,to inform our work.Employing a broad range of medias and techniques.At the start it was hard for me to know which direction to go in and start.However, being in London flooded me with all these lines , shapes,tones and colours .It forced me to look at specific properties of what I was looking at , in much greater detail,engaging with my surroundings . “Talking Colour” forced me to think about how colour contributes to how an image comes out,as well as the media I used to portray it.In terms of, if I was to use watercolour,the image will look very textural because of the brushstrokes.As well as have an light and airy quality of the colours ,softening the image.Where as if I was to use acrylic ,the paint would add depth and intensity.Futhermore markers with its bold,bright colours adds an graphic,cartoonish look to to whatever artpiece you use it on.With “Ways of seeing and Talking Pattern”,this task enabled me to pick a part of an primary image and create a whole motif from it.From the smallest detail into an A3 sized design.I found that this task enabled me to be able to create multiple designs from one image.Overall I  thoroughly enjoyed both tasks because it allowed me creative freedom,giving me the feeling of enthusiasm and excitement.Causing me to have a driven force to keep creating work.However moving forward I think a few of my patterns from my “Way of seeing and Talking Patterns” are too simple and could be more complex with layers to create depth in the pattern.Also next I could create 3Dimensional designs to elevating my interpretation from just 2D.
