Paper Cutting

Two weeks ago we had a tutorial on paper cutting from the artist speaker Stacey. She taught us different ways on how to cut he paper as well as on different materials. She really inspired me and I liked her work one of my favourite pieces of hers wax the paper cutting she made on trees. So I decided to make a paper cutting on the brothers grimm fairy tale brier rose I designed the castle covered in thorns I also layered it by make one cutting ontop of each other it looked really nice but it got ruins :( so today I remade it and it looks better than before.

Fairies And Little Brier Rose

The story I have decided to do is little brier rose from the brothers Grimm stories, so I have decided to focus on the 12 fairies the bad fairy and the castle covered in thorns today I decided to make moc ups of siloettes of fairys be use I thought that would be a good start on the designing point of view

The Brothers Grimm DvD

Ok Ok I think I am showing my addiction to the Grimm brothers here. But here is an imae of the film I have. And the best part about this is my faourite actor of all time Heath Ledger was it in :D He played Jacob Grimm. The plot of the film is basically about the brothers travelling all over Germany, first they travel to a village to get rid of a witch but it turns out that they facked the witch just to get money from the people. but it turns out that a general knows about there crimes and are after them. but when they go to a town to create a setup for money it turns out that the stroy is actually real people go missing and turn up dead and they end up in trouble. Its a good film :D

The reason I love Fairy Tales The Brothers Grimm Jacob and Wilhelm

Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, were born in Hanau, Germany. They both worked together writing folklure storys that they have heard. In 1812 they published there first book of fairytales. Aparently they went all over Germany and listened to stories by people from middle class and high class people.

New Years Reolution And New Project :D

To start of the new year one of my new years resolutions are to make sure that I blog daily and to record the work and research i do with my new project. :D
Finally I am really looking forward to this project as it looks a lot more fun the last one I have just finished. The new project is called "Only Make Believe" when I first heard the name of the project i thought thats sounds like its going to be a bit difficult, but when i heard that it was to do with the Bother Grimm's fairytales I instanlty knew that this was the project for me :D I have always enjoyed the Brothers Grimm Fairytales and grew up with them. My faourite storys were and always will be "Little Brier Rose (sleeping beauty) and snow white and red rose". I'm really looking foward to doin the research of this project and and creating idea's for a final piece which is part of the live project where it will be shown in a art gallery and where the public can also buy the work to "Happy Days" :D

3 Words Project

one of my art projects for over christmas is the 3 words. we have to research and design ideas that the three words give us. i got given lipstick, primitive and dreamy. so far all i have studied is lipstick. At first all i thought was lipstick, brand, draw, DONE!! how wrong i was. whilst researching lipstick i learnt a lot more about how it was frist created how only certain people could only wear it at the time (prositutes and actresses) and how it has evolved since then. i even thought i could maybe make my own style of lipstick but then i realized im not a scientist hehe. ive since came up with new final piece ideas and hopefully will put them into action soon :D xoxox

computers :/

thought i was a pro on the computer. but being on this course has proved me wrong need to relearn a lot of computer skills now :/ i cant even add videos onto here and it took me months to learn how to add a photo onto it too :/
