Art Attack!

So, I've told you for a long time that I'd take pictures of all my art work. And I have. Beware.. There are a lot of them!!

This was an A'level exam work. I have a total of 2 weeks to do all of the prep work, and then 15 hours to complete "the box". My question was simplely "receptacles and containers". Woo.. So here it is...

The sketch book

I'll save you seeing all the different designs for the sides of the box, as you can see them on the final thing!

Some prep sheets

The final piece
From all the prep you can guess that I decided to create pandora's box. And on each panel of the box paint a different part of the myth in the style of Greek art, and then the quilt to show what came out of the box, which was all the evils of the world, apart from right at the bottom, was hope.

The lid shows the creation of Pandora by the Gods Hermes, Athene, Zeus, and Hephaesthus, with Pandora in the middle.
The back panel shows the evils exiting the box when Pandora has opened it.
And the other panel shows Epimetheus accepting Pandora from the ground.

This other panel shows Hermes bringing the box to Pandora and Epimetheus.

I was so proud of myself for that. I got an A for it. Combining the two things I love, art and classics <3

This is my personal investigation. It had to be a 3000 word piece of coursework discussing 2 artists. To I did an ace guy called Anthony Smith, and then Michael Pybus. Both paint the sea but so differently! I meet and interviewed them both, hehe. My titles was.. "How do different techniques and media affect the feeling of a seascape painting?" You had to present it... I did it properly, LOLZ.

Presented in it's lovely little box..

It unfolds in a crazy way!

One side on Michael Pybus..

Side two on Anthony Smith <3

Heh.. it's so fragile now. But I love it. I got an A for that too... :$

My coursework was based on the distoration of people and landscapes, which lead into some crazy shizzle. I'll just let you look at it. There isn't much work here because i literally had 2 weeks to do the lot after my twat art teacher ripped up my sketch book and I had to re-do it all. And my old art teacher dissappeared with some of my work, and I still don't have it back. Twat.

Here's my sketch book...

This is a very crap prep sheet I did...

Bless Ali for the picture <3

And for the final piece! This is basically a chicken wire framework of a boooy. Covered in plaster. Then I printed off pictures of grass, rocks, etc onto crepe paper and covered the thing in them. To create a landscape made from a persoon. Ohhh. Crap I know! Lolz. - I've actually left this picture at uni :( But you can kinda see it from the pictures in the sketch book!
I only got a B for this one :(

And there you have it. I hope you enjoy it haha. You probebly didn't.
