#graded unit2

My final piece.  I decided not to present the two as a pair.  I wasn’t happy with the other piece.  It will all be in my evaluation, but feel I should have maybe developed the daytime colours more using the A1 development piece. 

My finished pieces.  I am happy with the top one but might add some more detail to bottom piece before presentation, needs more detail. 

Some of the process of creating my pair of paintings. 

In my brief I stated that I was going to create a painting or series, I liked the idea of using different moments of the eclipse that I witnessed, as it gives more a mysterious mood, and ties in well with what I want to acheive, by making the viewer wonder.  I started on two A3 pieces of mounting board, and one A2 for my 3 paintings, but felt I could push the idea further.  I decided to have two A2 landscape format for final pieces and started creating different works to make a pair, focussing on a different perspective I came across in other development work. 

cutting and collaging photographs together for possible compositions. 

Jens Hausman.  This artists strange architectural buildings and the scenery there are set in.  His work has influenced my project alot

I have been looking alot at casper david friedrich in this project, this bottom picture gave me the idea to use my eclipse photographs into my compositions.  Christopher Orr’s exhibition ‘The Beguiled eye’ was also a big influence in this project, I studied his work in my essay.
