Start of FMP Activities

In today's lesson i participated in 2 activities, which involved enlarging an image. In the first task, we were set into groups of four and each given a quater of an image to enlarge on an A2 piece of paper, which when put together with the other 3 sheets, it would create the same image on an A0 scale. This is how our groups drawing turned out. 

This is the completed version of all four sheets, which all use a range of different media's, including coloured pencils and water colour paints. It was quite difficult creating this as we all had to measure out the parts that joined each sheet together, which was harder than i thought, however we managed to do this without too much hassle.

This is the section of the image that i created, using water colour paints, brusho inks and coloured pencils, which i think works really well. It turned out better than i thought it would, as i thought that using water colour may make it look messy, however i like the effect it has created.


The second task also included enlarging an image, however this time it was a lot more complicated.



You first had to mark out the middle of the page by drawing a line from corner to corner using a set square to make sure that the lines were in the correct place.


You then had to draw a 7cm by 5cm rectangle using a ruler, and cut out a rectangular window. You then used this to choose a part of an image to enlarge.


Once you'd chosen the section of the image you wanted to enlarge, you had to draw out cm squares over the image.
After this you had to follow the same steps and draw another rectangle on a A2 piece of paper, but 5x bigger, so this time it woukd be 12.5cm by 17.5cm. However, whilst i was doing this i found it quite difficult doing the measurements as they didn't seem to be going to the correct scale. As a result of this, i didnt have enough time to finish tbe second task, however i aim to complete this in Tomorrow's sole lesson.




I have also completed a small mind map exploring different ideas and themes that i can focus on for my FMP.
