Some Images of VR colour books from 2009 & 2010

Photos from Breton Sculpture Park

These are the photos that i took in the green house at Breton Sculpture park. I was with Sarah and both of us felt that we were very inspired by the greenhouse and its strange atmosphere. We both found these flowers and played around with them using the water fountain sculpture to create patterns and watery effects. I like the effect and think that i will be able to use these images as further inspiration for my project.

Artist connections

After I experimented with ink and straws, I noticed that the results I could see reminded me of the work of Jackson Pollock. I then decided to look into his work, to look at the similarities. Pollock was known for creating piece that look likes paint slodges, in a random formation. I felt that this effect look a bit like the ones created with the inks, and I have shown this link with the artist in my folder.

Bubbles

These are some of bubble experiments, i mixed ink into washing up liquid and using a straw blew bubbles onto the page, then i worked into them using marker pens and chalk pastels.

Experiment with butterflies

After looking into butterflies that were in a museum on our trip, my research has stemed from there. I created some butterflies out of black card, to hopefully use to make a slideshow. But instead of this I decided to make a flip book, it has the same ideas and works just as effectively. I wanted to try and make the butterlies appear to be moving across the page. The various stills helped to achieve this, I was quite happy with the overall outcome.
