Overview of Applied Arts Week

Applied arts was very enjoyable. Metalwork was good fun to try out all of the processes. Couldn't finish everything in time but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Applied Arts Work (Metalwork)

Experimenting with different processes to create different shapes and effects on the metal.

I like the different colours and shapes created through rolling out the metal.

Fine Art Work

We created our own compositions by tracing around and using found objects to paint and create different effects.

I created the above composition by mostly using half a peg repeatedly printed in different colours and patterns.

Overview of 3D Week

Learnt a lot about creating effective drawings with ink and card, and how different materials can be manipulated to create unique shapes.
