Line Art Project Continued




Individual Continuation of Line Art Project


After completing the final piece in groups, we were told to then come up with ways to improve it, and then we were to recreate it but individually. I thought this was an interesting task as in a group, the members tend to think of ways to improve it but don't mention it as they don't want to seem like they're changing everything. I, for one, did think of other ways to make the piece better but I thought it was best to go with the group as it wasn't too important. Now, individually, we get to put our own twists on the piece and take it where we want. 

My idea to improve the piece was to find lines around the college and simply take pictures of them. I would take quite a lot as I feel that I would be more accurate with the shape I wanted to make. Also, I can make a line into any shape I want, whether that includes combining some together or not, which would allow me to do a larger range of things.
    I would've liked to take photos of lines on specifically coloured backgrounds so that it would have
 the colour of the shape I created, and it would eliminate the possibility of me having to add unnatural colour using editing software. I believe that nature is a big part of the piece and line art can be included well as I could literally use the lines from the back of a leaf in my piece, or even the grooves in the bark of a tree.
I would only be able to use my phone as I don't have a high quality camera and so I might've been able to complete my individual piece quicker. This is only because I am fully aware of how to operate my phone, but I'm not completely familiar with the workings of a professional camera.

Ian Murphy a UK based Fine artist of 30 years, known for his passion for journeys to inspire his artworks and sketchbook drawings Born in Wigan, a town in Greater Manchester, England in 1963 Graduated from Sheffield (now Hallam) University in 1985 Does paintings, print making, drawing and sketch booking, his work mostly includes rough lines and layers Has artwork based on both the natural and the constructed elements of the environment These sketchbook drawings of Ian's are very intricate and I really like the use of the same techniques across all three of the drawings. The fact that he focused purposefully on sections of buildings that are broken and old created a big opportunity to add a lot of detail. I like how towards the edges of the sketches you can see the scribbles and scratches of the pen. It's gives the illusion that the sketch fades back into the paper. This print is very incredible because of how realistic it seems. The sm

Russell Mills - Artist Research

Russell Mills British artist who was born in Ripon, Yorkshire, UK in 1952. He has produced record covers and book covers for many musicians, like Peter Gabriel and Nine Inch Nails for example. In the 1980s, Mills began receiving tasks to design record album covers and related packaging. Stylistically, his work at this time became much more abstract, abandoning figurative representation in favour of symbolic implications. He regularly treated the canvas as a sculptural plane, with materials such as metals, powders, bones, feathers, beeswax, fabric, wires, animal skins and papers embedded in thick paints and pastes. Artwork at this time often left no empty spaces, all areas were filled.         This image seems to be a photo but of a rock which has been used as the canvas for an image of a shed type building. I think this is very clever because it is very unique. It appears that the image of the small building has been carved onto the side of the rock.
