For this assignment I chose 1 point perspective, I made up a cartoonish looking city from my mind and cut out each building separately so they would be in perspective than glued them on. for my textile, I chose to use scraps of fabric I had to make a clothing line, I have 4 photos that I found from magazines onto my drawing. Im not super happy with the photos I have, as my options were limited and I think they look out of place but I liked the challenge of creating a 1 point perspective in collage format.

 Zhang Daqian or Chang Dai-chien born 1899, died 1983 was a Chinese influenced ink wash landscape artist, he lived during the period of impressionism and you can see that through his works. Impressionism is one of my favourite art periods and I thought the way he let the ink flow to replicate water and how his pieces looked purposeful but accidental was really beautiful.

The colourful painting, I got my friends to throw acrylic paint at me and when I left it outside to dry nature destroyed it. So I covered myself in paint again and laid down onto a canvas to imprint my body, then I took fragments of the first painting and glued them on. The title of this drawing is : Inner and outer impressions  

                                                                                                      This project was more difficult because you couldn't erase anything or get a true sketch. I had to redo a couple of them and I'm not super satisfied with them all. I think I'm better at the bugs than I am at people.
