As fun and enjoyable as this was, the results that I gained I do not think really fit the project that well with what I already have as final pieces and what I am aiming to achieve. I do not think the test fits expressive typography in the way I am aiming to display artwork and text together so I will be focusing more now on painting canvases rather than painting with light. 

I tried to create organic shapes that might of been representative of leaves and flowers. As of yet, I am not very happy with the results so I am going to try the next stencil to see if I feel any better about it. 

After the easter holidays our mentor meetings resumed as normal. I took photographs of the work that I had been working on so far, and the two complete images of Anger and Relaxing. The feedback I received was very positive and my mentor said that the standard of work was much better. This gave me the drive to carry on with the ideas that I had and get the work completely finished to a very high standard. At this stage, I have also completed the stencils for the light trail photographs. I am still not entirely convinced that these will be worthy of being a final piece but I will test out the idea anyways and see what comes of it. 

I think the flowing manner of the text and the colours work together really well. My main inspiration for this style was that of water, as it can have a relaxing effect, so I wanted to try and capture it within the composition of the word and also the use of painting techniques and colours.

In order to gain as much accuracy with the sculptures as possible, I first of all projected the compositions onto MDF. Once the outline was drawn out, it was now time to start cutting out the letters with a jigsaw. Some of the letters were cut into individual letters for easiness and then will be combined later in order to paint them correctly. 

I also thought that it would be a better idea to project my final composition onto the MDF for a more accurate finish and form of the letters, rather than hand drawing them and possibly being faced with the fact of not having such accurate form again. 

The feedback that I received was very positive, my only downfall was the form of the letters, which I had explained that at this stage, I had not been focusing as much on but obviously for my final outcome this would be a completely different story all together. My mentor agreed and had suggested that after the easter holiday period, I come back with my finalised sculpture ideas to show, but overall that my work was coming on really well.
