mini projects


A1 sheets from the day long drawing project we did in the first few weeks of the course.  Done using a variety of materials such as biro, pencil, ink, wax crayons and colour pencils.



 Photographs for a visual communication project. We had to fill in the statement 'my name is....and I...'. I decided to go with 'My name is Holly and when I was younger the fairies wrote me letters'. The child drawn in white is meant to show the girl as her younger self, reading a letter. It was drawn on using a graphics tablet linked to photoshop. The final photo is one of the final worked over photos.

Oxford Botanic Gardens short project


A1 sheets from the sketches I made whilst at the Botanic Gardens.
The leaf cut outs below are done using photocopies of leaves I collected from the floor in the gardens, then used a scalpel to carefully cut/scratch out the shapes of the buildings and trees.

Photographic series from Oxford Botanic Gardens








A series of photographs taken during my week long project of fine art.  We were given a spot on the map of  Oxford to go to and do a project on, luckily mine landed on the Botanic Gardens which turned out to be really interesting.  Although inside the vast and drippy greenhouses was fascinating and beautiful, I found I was far more gripped by the way the plants inside pushed and pressed against the clouded glass and the shapes and patterns this created.

Charcoal and biro sketch.
Below is a sketch of the entrance to the gardens using a mocha I was drinking.   There's also a bit of charcoal in it too.  In the archway is a list of all the things that were going through my head at that time.  It was drizzling so they're not very cheerful.
