Organics Part 1 By Natalia Zielinska

Overview of Brief The theme of Unit 3, 4 and 5 is Organics Part 1. Unit 3 is drawing. Unit 4 is communication skills. Unit 5 is creating a 2D outcome. Part 1 of the Organics project is 7 weeks long and we are doing it up till Christmas. Throughout this project, we had a introduction to drawing skills, we did some photography, we did mono and lino printing and looked into extending and manipulating them.

Lino Printing First time Enjoy it Contagious Would do it again

Mixed Media Favourite one: Different surfaces Craft knife Layers Patterns Colours Layers Different matching colours Pattern

Two Artists That Have Most Inspired Me Mark Hearld – Colourful, busy and detailed artwork. Would not mind having his work as my own wallpaper. Reminds me of childhood because the animals look like story characters. Andy Warhol – Row of canned soups inspired my final outcome. Range of colours that match

Reflection In this project, I have learnt a new technique called lino printing. I have never done lino printing before, however, I really enjoy it and even though it can be quite difficult at times, I find it very contagious and I like how you can re-use the lino many times because it is permanent, it does not run out. My least favourite part of this project I think was the mono printing. This is because I did not enjoy it as much in this project as I did in the previous one and I think that my mono prints did not come out too well in this project.

Target Setting One of my main targets for the next project is to do a lot more work at home so that I am up to date and I do not have a lot of work to catch up on in the last week of term and I do not have to rush with it. I set myself this same target in the last project and I believe that I have been up to date a lot more, however, I am setting myself this target again so that I start doing more work at home.
