Symbols and actions

This week we were given actions we had to convert into symbols that represented that action as simply as possible. My action was 'combing your hair' so I started looking at how the hair changes from combing it, and what the actual action of running a comb through your hair would look like.
These are the final 80 I designed. I decided to do them in sequences of four to represent the actions and change the hair undertakes more accurately.

The beginning

I start the foundation course at Leeds College of Art this week. I'm pretty excited to move on from my A levels and see what different styles of work I can produce, but I'm nervous about going somewhere I don't know anyone!
Being at the same school for 7 years means I'm more than ready for a change! But I'm not looking forward to staying in Leeds while all my friends go off to uni.
I will try to regularly post my work on this blog so I can assess my outcomes. Hope whoever sees this enjoys it!

Making grids

Another project from my foundation course, the idea was to merge four different corners of a grid to create a flowing pattern. This is about halfway through, I am quite pleased with it so far but wish I'd used an easier material to cut. Felt is mean.

Drawing

I did this sketch for one of my best friends who's going to uni next week, she asked if I could do her something she could take and this is what I produced!
I really enjoyed trying to get all the details right on our faces and overall am really pleased with the picture as you can tell it's us.
