Eva Crieghton - drypoint with monoprint
This piece of work is in response to
looking at work in the Real Art Roadshow when it came to Heaton this year. I
used Ricky Swallow’s ‘Blanket Shark’ and Seraphine Pick’s ‘Wolfman’. I like the
sketchy look of the Wolfman art, it also includes lots of interesting things
that you gradually see. The blanket shark I like because it is a
fierce shark but it is wrapped in a cuddly and harmless blanket to make you not
afraid. I also like the unique texture the shark shows. I combined these two
because they are two completely different art pieces but still almost have a
same theme. I used a different texture for the sky and the water in my art to
relate to the unique textures on the shark.

When the Art Bus came in term 2 art
extension had been tasked with creating a work of art that incorporated at
least 3 of our favourite works in the bus. For my picture I chose a computer
edited photograph and 2 sculptures. The first was ‘Atmospheric Optics 1’ by
Megan Jenkinson. The second was ‘Blanket Shark’, by Ricky Swallow and the third
was’ Skully-Pops’ by Wayne Youle. You can see all three of these artists’ works
in my charcoal drawing.

This charcoal artwork was based around
two artworks, including Neil Frazer's "Deep Freeze" and Megan
Jenkinson’s 'Atmospheric Optics 1' . Taking the idea of the mountainous range and mixing it with
symmetrical shaded forms. Ending up making a simple minimalistic, eye catching
piece, with lots of character...
Laouena Le Loeur – drypoint with monoprint
My inspiration for this print came from an
array of things. I really loved the texture on Michael Smither’s ‘Boys on eth
Beach’. I incorporated this into my waves and mountains. The flowers in Dick
Frizzell’s ‘Still Life with Sheep’s Skull and Iris’ appealed to me because of
the way he outlined them to bring out the details. I strived to do something
similar in my dandelions.

My
Saskia Leek inspired picture was made to show two possible futures. One of the
futures showed a clean environment with happy flowers, filled bins, clean water
and a singing bird. The picture also included blue skies with white fluffy
clouds, green grass and birds. This is the good future of my picture.
However,
on the left the future is terrible, a horrible future. In the dark,
contaminated water skulls bob about. On the mud, flowers die. The bins are
empty. Smoke fills the air, making it impossible to breathe. The city lights
are out, the trees are stark naked. On one thin stick sits a bird, wondering if
their future will ever change.
