In Thursday's art class with Claire, I continued creating our glossary pages; that shall be marked at the end of our assignment.

I started creating glossary pages for the key words, pattern and proportion. It took me quite sometime to finish my first drawing, because I couldn't draw just one hand; as I had to show a variety of sizes, due to this I continued throughout dinner. I decided to use coloured pencils for these two drawings, as I wanted to show a lot of detail. Also, Because the drawing was so detailed, I made the background simple so that the drawing would stand out more. Now that they are finished I think that maybe having a detailed background would have made them look even better. I prefer my drawing for proportion as it contains a lot more detail and took me a lot longer to create.

After dinner, I started doing some mono printing, which I had never done before and found it quite simple. However, this depended on which paint I had been using as some, once it had came out, became very patchy and looked asif it may have contained oil as it wouldn't lay.

I first had to cellotape a plastic wallet to the table so that it was secure, I then had to put some paint at the top of the plastic wallet and roll it down evenly however, the first few times it didn't work correctly so I had to start again. Once I had done this, I then had to place a plain piece of paper over the top of the paint, and choose an image that I wanted to use; which I had printed off earlier and place that over the piece of paper, making sure they were in line and had to draw over the image with a pencil, so that it would engrave the paint underneath and print onto the plain piece of paper.

The first one or two didn't really work very well, as the paper kept moving slightly out of place, but the more I did the better they came out.

I enjoyed doing these activities throughout the day and the mono prints that I created will also be marked at the end of our assignment.
