FINE ART (BA) Year 1

Snippets of my works throughout my first year of University at UCA Farnham, Surrey.

One of my favourites - a huge tree wrapped itself around a streelamp, and using a slow shutter speed I created the look of golden rain. Really love these images but this one in particular I'd like to work with at some point.


Brand new paint brushes :)


Museum of self project - first final piece of our 'Drawing' unit.
A half hearted effort on my part but I did quite like my end result as it was me hidden within a box, I tend to hide my emotions aswell (hence the tears) so the whole idea fit nicely.


The box when closed.



Snapshots of my room/late night studio in Aldershot haha.


Some of my many train/bus journeys home from Uni after late studio sessions.







Parents' Christmas present - putting my talents/empty purse to good use!









Monday morning train to London - a day of galleries!




A very busy day, but worth it!

Graveyard where I lived for the second part of my first year - Sandy Hill. Some beautifully weird trees.









End of first year work - it was a bit hectic!!

Trying a simpler approach to painting/experimenting with 'out the bottle' colours


Pencil portrait - combined with my previous painting, trying to 'cover' natural beauty, like using too much make-up ect.

Referrall work, I got to be a bit experimental :)




Life drawing: reclining male.


Rubber and charcoal.
A magazine inspired piece for my 'true beauty' ideas. Was favouritised by most people.
Mixing colours to blend - trying to ecsape from my previous obsession with eyes (need to upload those)
Self portrait using 'ugly' colours.

Portrait from imagination experimenting further with 'ugly' colours.

UCA halls - one sunny day!


Farnham town - beautiful!



Trip to Farnham Castle with a friend.







Glider! (zoomed shot, not great because I had to get it quick!)











Rainbows caught on the stairs from the glass.

Some kind of hawk.














Beautiful sceneary/trees around Farnham Castle.



This one looks like something from a painting!







Halls, a friend stadning on a sculpture.

Snapshots of the park by the Station in Farnham.

The ugliness and structure of a 'beautiful' face.


Woman (based on Medusa and Dove beauty adverts!)



Self portrait.







Woman changing.

Childlike face, using 'ugly' colours again bubbling up like acid - use of make-up, media over exposure ect.



Medusa.


Studio towards the end of the year!


Final major drawing - 6hours!

Me being an artiste!






























Trip to the Barbican :)
