What I Have Been Doing

Over the past few weeks I have been researching images by 'Banksy' and how his images are effective, by how he contrasts fantasy and reality, by mainly using silhouettes in his images and using little colour. I have also tried Uncovering parts of a city onto a hilly countryside image, I did this to practise, it helped me because it gave me an idea of how I could contrast Fantasy reality. The pictures I merged together were Urban vs Rural, but it still gave me an idea on what I could do.

In the next lesson I was put into a group where, we were each given individually a sheet of paper, with pictures on, which Mr Parry printed pictures onto for us .I then traced these images onto a polystyrene square. I traced them and then painted over them in colour to print onto a white A3 sheet, or onto a black pice of card.

In the lesson after we continued printing onto the sheets of paper/card, I moved on to my second piece of paper, and changed the image I was printing on, Mr Parry gave me the idea to use the image I printed on to the paper as a background, and have an image of a angel type figure, to represent the religious beliefs, which would represent the fantasy side of my final image.
