A2 Fine Art

At A2 I looked at Erosion.  I played around with textures that represented erosion, and was inspired by the vibrant colours and patterns in eroded objects.  Using video work I was able to stress the fact that erosion is a process, and the importance of change.

Some abstract acrylic paintings, based on eroded objects

 Three works based on some eroded rocks.  The first is an acrylic painting.  For the second I layered up coloured paper on the board before painting the rocks.  Then I ripped through, physically eroding the paper to reveal different layers and create texture.  The third is a collage made up of the peices of paper that were ripped off.

This time-lapse style video is of the second piece.  I took photos at each stage in order to show the erosion process through video art.

The exam project I did was based on 'Journey'.  My biggest inspiration was David Hockney, especially his photo montages, but I also looked at some printing artists.  The final piece explores perspective and the use of photos through mixed media (photos on paper, acrylic paint, collograph prints and felt tip pen).
