Drawing Project

For the drawing project the alive artist I chose to look at was Micheal Craig Martin as I never use colour so saw this as a challange.. The dead artist I chose was Piccasso I used one of his early sketches as it was very loose again very different from my style. I decided when continueing this project forward the loose ink drawings were best to do as each one seems to come out different yet improves each time.. What was also good about this was I was able to give myself one person to draw everyday and keep a sketchbook of all these.

Back to the cows

The more I looked at the colour in silkscreen the more annoyed I got so I decided to try out the background in the darker red... With no screens avalible I used woodcut instead.

Sexy Chicken

:)

First two colours

Well three if you count the white... Really enjoyin reduction much easier and faster than key plate.

The Chosen Chicken

So this is hopefully how my woodcut will turn out in regards to shading I'll be working on gettin a meaty flesh colour once I get started

Ok so things got weird

So drawing a chicken posing as a woman from your head is kind of difficult so I said why not buy a raw chicken and take some photos... This was the outcome... Also the chicken was later enjoyed for dinner.

I don't have some weird obsession with meat... I swear

So sticking with how woman are veiwed my approach to this project has become clearer to me it is now about... Seeing meat as woman... To emphatise how they are being veiwed in a demining manor... Voyerism being the main focus. After reading some extracts from John Berger's "ways of seeing" I wanted to take his ideas of the female nude and how the way their bodies were posed allowed us to see them as an object and look at this in a humourous manor.
