Proposal: I plan to study modern/ contemporary architecture, for this I will photograph a range of buildings using Manchester as my main focus. The artists I have researched and chosen to influence my work are Sven Pfrommer an artist who uses layering and bright arylic colours and the sketchy watercolour images of Simone Ridyard.
Observational Drawings: For my A-Level art component one, I have done 12 A5 observational drawings from my photos, six using only pencil and biro then six using ideas from my chosen artists.
Etching: Using one of my photographs I made an A5 etching plate, which I created a range of prints from, I have then worked into them using pencil, biro, acrylic and the artists styles.
Exploration and Development: I have explored a range of different techniques to develop further these were, painting and layering all on A4. From these I developed the best ways of using them further, and progressed to working on cardboard and wood, on the right you can see one of my A3 development pieces.
