photography prints of my personal objects

These are photographs of my personal objects that I have developed using different techniques such as sandwich printing, photograms, using text and painting with developer. I've developed all these images in the darkroom. Some of the objects that I used are very special and important to me because they were giving to me from my family and friends and important people. The key rings are given to me by my cousin sisters because they travel and bring me back souvenirs.

photography images

These are photographs I done by using a traditional camera and film. I took pictures of some of the surroundings outside of college and then used a process called developing and developed them in the dark room and then I printed them in another dark room to get the images out onto the special photography paper which cannot be exposed to light.

Drawing of shells with pen

These are drawings of a biro pen and fine liner pen. I took one main shell and drew different areas of the same shell and then I got some water and black ink then used a water color brush to put ink in some of the areas of the shells to make the shells stand out and to make it look three dimensional. Then I used a little bit of green ink and put some color in the drawings. These drawings are on A2 piece of paper.

Concentina books

 These are photoraphs of my concertina books that I have made when I was doing the induction project at the beginning of the year. It was about me, myself what I like and places I would want to go in the future. I used different techniques to make the book look intreresting with pictures and fabric and other material. Also I used the computers to make other different techniques to make the book look more interesting.

Metal sculpture

These are some metal sample pieces that I have used to make my sample pieces, the goldish colour metal is called copper and the silver metal is called aluminiam. There both small squares and the copper is alot harder than the aluminum and when you heat the copper it becomes alot softer and easier to bend and make somthing out of it. These are my final sample pieces, I used different materials to make the shapes and patterns on the metals, i also poked holes through the metal.

These are lines of strips of copper that I cut up to turn them into a final piece. Then I used other materials to get a different feeling of how it might feel when you put circles in them and letters and small holes.

This is my final metal sculpture that I made by bending each of the copper strips of metal and then stuck it in place, making the form of the flower. 

This is another picture of the sculpture but in a different angel which shows the forms of the sculpture.

Drawings of shells with pencils

These are drawing of shells and the shells on the side. I took pictures of each of the shells that I was using to draw them. I first started to draw the outlines of each shape and then added on the detail of the shells and later I started to add some tone in some of the areas to make the drawings look more of a 3D form. These drawings of shells are on a A2 piece of paper. 

Black and white self-portrait painting

This is a portrait of me in black and white. It was done in my visual studies lesson. I basically got a black and white photocopy of me and drew a 2cm by 2cm grid on a A4 sized paper. Then I used black and white paint to start painting on the image with a small brush.

Then I slowly started to paint in the detail, and the tone of colors by using a small brush and mixing the black and white paint to get different shades of greys to match the tonal areas of the image.

And finally toward the end I took up closer picture of my face that I painted on and you can see the texture of the small brush that I used and also a rough brush.
