I like this chalk drawing because its amazing to see how a drawing could be so long that if you stand at one spot you would be abel to see whats going on in the picture.  I like the detail in chalk drawings like this one, it looks so real at one stage also the sad thing that could happen when it comes to drawing with chalk, that it might rain at some point of the day.

I think this greeting card would make a good as a chalk drawing. if I wanted to use this greeting cart as a chalk drawing I would make the river have a drop effect with the water falling into a dark space just to change the idea and get people to comment on it, like chalk drawings, people always have a say on chalk drawings but when it comes to the greeting card they think, oh this is nice, wonder if Blah blah blah would like this, so thats why I think the greeting card would make
a good chalk drawing.

I also think thought that this chalk drawing was a picture of the road split apart and also see lava but I had to look properly to see that it's just a landscape of a beach with dirt hills. the chalk drawing would of been hard work if I had of done it and how long it would of been to create good work. I think the artist would of had help to draw this landscape also the artist would of went though a lot of chalk. the material used in the chalk drawing would be chalk and a lot of time, plus the wether as well. I think the greeting card materials would have to be printing ink, sketching the landscape design with pencil and then colour.

I picked these three images because I though they looked interesting also gives me an idea for background if I was to come up with a picture I would need a background idea also I would mix three together.

jewellery and you

The power point about jewellery was interesting because of all the different types of jewellery people wear like for example hip hop artist wearing thick gold chains massive diamond rings witch i think they must be rich or cultural people wearing jewellery because of what they believe in. I like how a artist like Eleanor Salazar made rings out of snooker balls, because i think it's creative using simple things like tiers, snooker balls from the pool table and fabric to make jewellery. When i see jewellery like gold rings, gold bracelets and gold wrist watches even diamond rings makes me wonder if its made out of real gold or silver even diamonds. I think jewellery that the punk people wear is disturbing and funny but i think to its just their style just like hip hop artist too they wear a lot jeweller more than punk rockers do.

artsit talk Estelle pemberton

I like Estelles work because i think shes a great designer when she makes purse. She makes Persis from recycled thing like old close and butten. i also like the other stuff apart from Persis that she has made like candle shades, remade her shoes and close out of silk scarfs. I wondered how she put together the frame and the pocket part. She sead to create the inside pocket first then the outside pocket for the purse.

Estelle is also a made a chandelier out of a dress for a fashion runway witch i thought was nice designed until she sead that they didn't wont to go with so she had leave aside. She says that she still got it sitting in her workshop.

four finished pages.

Looking back at how i started my zine i was not quite shoe where to start at first, but as the weeks went on i got to do workshop's that was given like page layouts, stenciling, photoshop, illustrator, indesinge and putting the pages together. In my zine i have used illustrator, indesinge and also hand drew my pages because in illustrator i find it easy to use to create my A5 pages like the hulk throwing away his spray can after finishing his tagging or graffiti on a wall.

I also drew some parts in my zine witch i am proud of because that's what i like doing in my spear time is drawing. The pages that i drew by hand is Superman holding a spray can with a piece of graffiti in the background and Captain America,s shield cutting red skull head off witch i think is violent but in funny way.

 Also in illustrator i created my cover page, the tittle is called (hello my name is Hemi). I layed out superhero characters like Superman, Wolverine, Hulk and Batman and then pasted a hello sticker on the top because its a graffiti and characters from comics combined.
 So over the past few weeks i have learnt bits and piece's to put together as one in my zine. The way I'm putting my zine together is i' going to sow my zine together.

My four pages from my zine.





The idea that i'm going with is a combination of graffiti artwork and characters from comic books like DC and Marvel. Because i like the two i thought i'l put them together in my zine.

For the quotes idea i thought i'l go with the Alice in Wonderland quotes because i think they are kinda funny to me and the quotes is also a inspiration as well because i like the way the actors use the quotes in the movie, so i thought i'l put them together and try come up with something in my zine.

An example that i'm using for quotes in zine from Alice in Wonderland are (Off with your head and down with the bloody red queen. Those quotes are the ones that i mostly because of how it's presented in the movie.

seraphine pick


I watched a Seraphine Pick dvd and i thought her work is amazing but weird. Because of this one painting that she painted was kind of freaky its called the Goya painting. I think that the Goya painting freaky because Seraphine painted it from her childhood memory. The painting is about a devil or demon eating children witch i think is sick. But i also like her other work compered to the Goya painting because i like the way she references pictures from from all over place like if she likes something that she see's shel take a photo of the image and download it to her computer then print it out and use it for her paintings.

barbara kruger

Barbara Kruger try's to engage the concept of power through text and image, using only three colours, which is red gray and black. She believes everybody got answers but is more interested in questions, question that provoke doubt. Doubt tempers belief with sanity in her work. I found the reading that we did in class interesting and challenging because of the massive words that she had quoted in the reading.
