so my project was called still life and here is some of my own photography I took for still life I'm no 'tecchno head' with my camera, the photos are taken on an Iphone but I was quite impressed with my photos...

see for yourself

This is a cast from plaster of paris of some objects that resemble me, where i live, what goes on around me and just stuff like that. I rolled out a piece of clay and shoved the objects into the clay to make in imprint, then when sealed all the way around i poured a mix of plaster of paris over the top with an even thickness. 

I really liked this task as it was funny seeing everyone's objects, a bit like a trip down memory lane with teenage nija turtles and barbie accessories. 

This guy is amazing at painting still life, its like surrealism work but very detailed. I love his work and i would love to feature him in my still life artist research.

Just seen an image on the internet connected to Sarah Lucas' work. I've been looking more into the artist and she has done some truly controversial and thought provoking work, breaking boundaries of social etiquette. She promotes the unspeakable and dark shadows that your nan would scar you for bringing up at her candle light dinners! Her work makes me giggle with the clever placing of house hold objects and food with the cheeky puns she names her work with.

 From scribbling a penis into the wooden desk she sat at when studying at the working men's college, then London College of printing and then to Goldsmiths college it seem her understanding of life has escalated and appeared as one of the Young British Artists in the 1990s.

What I love about Sarah's work is that its daring, its different, its not a nicely painted bowl of fruit but a slap in the face of the weird and wonderful in life. Its not all full of rainbows a penises,  with her clever piece called Chicken Knickers she says its about a woman's role towards men. Her piece 'is suicide genetic?' defines how things can have a serious influence on people and how they can just self-destruct. Sarah is very anti smoking and i think she linked her toilet made from cigarettes to 'is suicide genitic?' to show how smoking can kill. Sarah Lucas has a flare for breaking down social etiquette and the unspoken, her work really impresses me and would love to maybe try something similar down the line.

This a blog to pin point every process through my course in Blackburn College. I will take part in Photography, Graphics, Painting, Life drawing, 3D work, Art history and Textiles.
