So this week we had the exhibition that allowed us show off our finished Constantiner sketch books(My personal sketchbook photos will be below), Fine art sculptures and any other introductory work, The exhibition was filled with the "ooo's" and "arr's" of the students parents and relatives, along with the heavy sighs of relief from the students themselves. The completed sketch books contained many ventures and attempts of encapsulating the theme of "past,present & future", Creating a full and impressive collection of work.

My personal sketch book contained an eclectic mix of the lessons I had the pleasure of experiencing, from Art History too 3D- Design and Drawing. The project was a chance of expression and a way of personally showing the knowledge I have gained over the previous 3 weeks.

The photos bellow show you various angles off the sketchbook and various shots of my work. Thank you for taking the time to read the blog and experiencing the progress I have made.

These are just a quick look at the ideas we've been attempting to learn and incorporate into our own individual styles, These chalk and pencil drawings are pieces from out Drawing lessons with Nolan. Apart from the obvious shapes we have used, the ideas also incorporate many themes such as negative space, shade and tone and the use of our utilities and equipment. There's not much else to say, just a quick update that allows you an extra incite too the work we are creating and the knowledge we ART gaining, Thank you, Ashley

Following Progress

After a long week, with many various projects and lessons taking place, the Constantiner book has taken a back seat as I helped create one of the fine art and design pieces that we wish to display on Thursday 27th of September.

However, I have still added a numerous amounts of art work to the book, The previous post showed you the fashion and textiles piece I had done for the book (Still to be sewn into the Constantiner book), So this week I plan to show you numerous photos of what I have accomplished, I.e, The visual communications pieces, Drawing & expression pieces and finally the collage and miniature replica of our fine art piece.

The photos themselves are pretty self explanatory, yet I still wish to mention that the time taken to create what I have so far means, hopefully I have accomplished a well detailed and well presented Constantiner book.

Thanks again and I hope you've enjoyed my progress,
Ashley

The Begining

This Blog is here to show the progression of my Btec Level 3 Art & Design A-Level as a sort of, "Online Profile"

I Understand that this isn't something that will always be relevant but I hope, By the time your reading this, You'll see the start of my A-level, And the progress I wish to make.

With the introduction out of the way I wish to show you the first project of the year, Thus being the Constantiner Book designs we've been working on and the different things we wish to sew, paint, adjust and edit until we're satisfied with our end results, where, we will hold an exhibition (WE being Group 2, At Sutton coldfield college Bmtec) Where these and various other introductory products and art pieces will be on display.
The first photo I wish to show you is Fashion & textiles introductory piece. This piece of cotton allowed us to explore many different areas of fashion & textiles from screen printing and personal expression through finger printing too the invigorating use of sewing machines, where, We sewed in many different way to attach and enhance our simple pieces of fabric, The Brief for this and all the other Introductory pieces are Past, Present & Future. This is shown by the heartbeat monitor and the different forms we used throughout the day.
Thank you and enjoy.
