I got all of my art  from this year back from the school yesterday because it's now been marked. (Wish we found out our grades straight away). I'm predicted A but...who knows.

My first topic was 'Emotions'.  I had a really good book but the 2 outcomes weren't as great as I had hoped.
The first is 'Quixotic'...so it's meant to be all dreamy.  I don't look like me though, the scale was all wrong.  It could have been good though.  [watercolour, watercolour pencils and tissue paper on wings]


The second is 'Phobic' and it's describing my feelings about London. Sure, I absaloutly love London but there are are aspects I hate; the crowds, the high-rise buildings and the underground. Well, I like the Tube, just not the fact that it's undergorund, lol.   In the foreground (and smaller ones behind) there is my anxious face, but the photo doesn't show this well.  The buildings are made up of finance newspapers.  [acrylic and newspaper]


My second topic was 'Religion', and we could do absaloutly anything related.  I chose to study the beasts from Revelations.  I looked at a few of them but my final piece is all about the 7-headed dragon.  This was my best painting this year I think.  It's a lot bigger than the others too. I really enjoyed doing it.                     (Spot the spelling mistake :-/ )  [watercolour, inks(black, red and gold), coffee]


My third topic (the exam topic) was 'Environment' and the environment that I chose was my sister's bedroom.  I do like my painting but I think it lacks something.  Also, I had left the walls white but my teacher (without me knowing) painted it green, ready for the exhibition we had 2 weeks ago. ¬¬     [acrylic]


We all had to do a really good study of ourselves, with a strong light source from one side...       


Scared me.  [white pastel on black card]
   

My page influenced by Jhonen Vasquez.  [photos + ink]


My Linas Garsys and Tony Goble pages.  [emulsion + ink]  [watercolour]


Me with wings. [watercolour]


The first lion is done in tea, the second with coffee.  Prefer the coffee.


I've already started next years work.  We have to do a written project and then a pratical, both linked.  My written is on portraits and self-portraits.  My practical is on appearances and identities.  Have quite a lot of ideas so :-) .
