Eugene Seguy

I really like these insect studies by Eugene Seguy, possible inspiration for a new term project. The prints are so vibrant and the colours really contrast well together, the overlapping effect on this butterfly one gives it a nice dimension, and I also like how the wings have been cleverly tessellated  in a lot of them

First Foundation Exhibition

Our first exhibition was after a couple of weeks into the course and we had to choose 3 pieces we'd done that reflected what we wanted to hopefully expand or experiment more with. This is my display with a couple of monoprints and my Gestalt drawing

Gwithian Beach Trip

One advantage of doing my course down here is the coast, and taking full advantage of a sunny friday, we headed off to Gwithian beach. This was a group effort, luckily, without the help of team members shouting from the cliff edge i'm not sure we would have produced anything as good. By the end of the day we were exhausted, collecting seaweed and pebbles is tough work... last minute sand castle building payed off and as we climbed the cliff behind the beach, we were pleasantly surprised at our finished day's work

Holiday Project

During the summer, we were given a holiday project to make a famous building out of card and paint it white. Well I made the White House, for the irony..  it's somewhat similar, however the proportion is certainly questionable 

First Post

I'm starting a blog to document my work throughout my art foundation down here in Falmouth, I started in September but I've only just got round to setting this all up, hopefully I will be more productive and start posting regularly to keep up to date with work I've produced. I'll start from the beginning and show work from the first stage of the course which was basically workshops most days, so we got a feel of all the disciplines before we chose our subject area.  

Ok, this was the first day of foundation and I produced this Gestalt style drawing in charcoal. Its a method of applying mark making in a way that has no form, no apparent shape, then rubbing out, working into it a lot and repeating the process. I took shots of it throughout some of the stages, it ended up with some interesting patterns in the end as we were encouraged to identify and outline the shapes at the end.
