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.

Meat Market

Prints of cows with and without the red added in.... seeing them now printed I would have liked to have changed the background to red and the highlights to the pink.

Sexy Cows

So I kind of drifted away from the animal fur protest partly because it seems alot of the class has an obsession with fur. I did mostly change my idea slightly to suit silkscreen because the previous drawings did not suit the layering technique. The cows that i'm am drawing now still has to do with how animals and how woman are being treated. The windows represent butchers shops in comparision to red light district windows.

Humour and Protest

I wanted to look at protest for animals that are unable to protest for themselves. Specifically looking at the fur trade. Any of the advertisments from organisations such as peeta who are against this never use animals in their images and always tend to stick to naked woman. So here are some of my first drawings on how animals would protest the use of their fur by wearin humans.
