Contrast Workshop

We worked in pair, we looked around university to find contrasting elements each to create a concertina booklet, size 297mmx 105mm folded x times, black and white.

the goals was to quickly establish using a visual narrative.

We choose smooth-rough contrast, using the stairs inside and outside the school...

we archive what we wanted.. a really contrast element from inside and outside of university...

something that i never noticed before and i think i'll never do if it wasn't for this exercise..

Greenwhich clock

This workshop was finalize to create a characters that represent aspects of London.

In my group we choose Greenwhich.

As you can see there is all the process we went through to create this character..

It was fun!!!..

We did an collage extension from the 100 collages we had to do in the first term.

The first one is mine one:

On the poster I placed 299 passport pictures covered by 299 windows (passport size) obtained cutting up magazines, newspapers and everything else available, like, flyers and leaflets. Each passport picture has its double somewhere around the board only one doesn't have it, the game is to try and find it!

Below, there are some of the collages I like mostly, maybe because there are quite original and thoughtful...

Monoprint workshop

An intriguing hybrid among printmaking techniques, monoprints are neither a print nor a painting, but a unique combination of both. It is one image (mono) painted with oil-based or water-based inks onto any surface that will transfer the image onto paper.

To make a monoprint we need a plexiglass and some ink.
One you have a plate just paint directly on it with any kind of brush, depending on the effect you want, you can use a variety of tools for painting the image.
when we finished to cover the plate with the ink, we just put on the top a plain paper and used some images of London, tracing them on the top of the paper.

This is my first print doesn't look bad but I think I pressed to much with my hand.

This is a failed monoprint.. you can't even see what it is

Below there are other sample of my monoprint workshop, definitely I'll try t do some more on my free time, it's a really easy technique to do. Using different colours and brush you could archieve rally great effects.
