Students worked through todays exercise.using acrylic in consideration of the above.Some concise and measured strokes and some bravado..two by carol,two by Sue H and two by Sue S.and my model.great work learners...keep the momentum.the bigger wheels are starting to turn.because you get to this stage you can try flair and finess whilst repractising the foundation getting to the final business of putting the surface on.....

A real test of tenacity. some real problem solving to be done with such a "plasticised: bold object taking over the whole space and having to including a figure..drawn at a right angle to the subject...there are some really magical touches.Each study has a fine rendering of surface appearing..and despite the garish red of the fire extinguisher each has managed to balance the remaining colour in the composition.Well done learners.

Each student went from blank canvas to here in a few short hours in this exercise over two weeks .Bringing together the various techniques and practises we'd worked and played with through the first 4 weeks...they were asked to apply all or some of the techniques to make a piece showing evidence of learning. Excellent results all round.....

Looking at the results Id call this the Frankenstein lesson.bits and parts and extremely mean looking use of spikeballcube and darks darker etc....great results though...think,church ,fence post, puppet head or the side of a jack. even a space capsule...detail in jewellery...and then lumps of bodies.......they say the butcher the surgeon and the figure artist all deal in the same business.dissecting bodies....so very frankenstein....might have to fancy dress but only if its bang on halloween ....
