Paul Klee is known as one of the 20^th century’s biggest artists and known as great innovators of the era.

Tate modern have art pieces of his work starting from 1918 with Remembrance Sheet of a Conception ass seen below

This painting I find interesting as it has a vast choice of colours, both dark and bright it almost has the atmosphere of a Picasso piece.

This piece is called Fire at Full Moon completed in 1933. What I like about this piece is that it’s a mixture of colours and shapes both 2d and some that appear to be 3D as well you can bring your own views to each and every painting I highly recommend that you attend this exhibition.

This is a sketch of Marilyn Monroe that I did using a Hob pencil and a 4b pencil for tone. Then once I did that process I then I went onto Photoshop to see what it would look like if I added tattoos to her and this am my outcome.

These were the objects in which I have chose of my moulds for my casting resin for my colour project which were a head from a toy, reel of cotton, toy car wheel, clip from a bungee chord and a graphite stick. They are all placed on the vacuum former ready to be moulded. 

In this photo you can see the object’s getting placed onto the vacuum former with this I had to team up with another member from the class.

These are all the colours of the casting resin made up ready to go in to the moulds as there was no black casting resin I chose the blue and chose to add black paper into the casting mould.

These are the finished moulds of the object that I chosen. I have moulded wire into the shape of the mould so that I could use the wire to place them in a wooden frame. To make sure the moulds are level I used clay to hold them in place so  the casting resin has a smooth surface.

This is the casting resin being poured into my moulds after I placed the chopped up paper into my moulds.

This is the mould once it is has hardened, to cut them out I used a scapal to cut them out and then I placed them on a clean surface.

These are my finished moulds placed on a clean piece of paper so the moulds are not affected by any dirt or dust.

In this photo as you can see the objects are placed on a angle this is purposely done as I was working out how I would place my objects in a frame 

with in this photo I have chosen the right way in which I want my work do be placed. Then I had two pieces of wood to square out the work and ready  to measure up for the frame.

This is the the frame cut out and sanded with 240 grit sand paper and 400 grit sand paper to be smooth and  ready to be glued and stapled together.

This is one section of my water colour  of my japanese painting using only water colour for my art project which if you look at it  you see a japanese scenery but then if you take if you flip the image up side down then you can make out a pair of lungs finished project will be put up very soon.

In this photo I have Matt as my life model so I can use the structure of his face to create a mask for my graphics aspect of this project using rock mould as the material.  

This photo was taken in the process of me placing the first layer of  rock mould over Matt's eyes, mouth and nose. This part of the process was nerve racking for me as I was worried about him breathing but I solved the problem my placing tubes in the nostrils so that he could breath.

This is the second layer of rock mould that was placed onto Matt's face and as you can see the piece is starting to take shape and as each layer gets placed on I find that the facial structure gets so much more closer to the detail.

This is the third and final  layer of the rock mould after the mould dried I took it from Matt's face and left it for a few days to dry before I started to make them into masks.

This is the mask that was finished which personally I think was a failure but from this I learnt how to make masks from rock mould and helped me come to the decision to make my masks out of clay instead of rock mould.

The two photograph above are the two half's of a mask of Harvey Dent. Both half's are made from rock mould and then once I had completed adding the layers I then trimmed down both half's and then rock moulded them together to create a firm structure before I added paint.

This is the mask of Harvey Dent made out of rock mould I find that only half of this mask went well and that was the scull side of the face I think that I should have spent core time completing the work but due to me deciding to make the masks from clay I thought to keep this how it is and then come back to it if needed.

This is my clay mould of the joker made from buff clay so that once it comes out of the kiln it has the flesh tone colour. With in this picture I rolled out the clay to a certain thickness and then brushed oil over the face of the manikin. Once it was oiled up I then placed the rolled up clay over the face of the manikin and started to mould the shape of the face. Once the face was moulded  I then used spare pieces of clay to create the eyes, mouth and top end of the scars. After I moulded all the pieces to the face using slip I then started to construct the facial structures  by using both wooden tools and the steel tools provided to me in the class. 

When creating this part of the face I carved out some of the clay but I also moulded it into the shape that I needed also for this I collected photographs of the joker  so I could mould his facial scars.

This is the other side of the face with the scars completely different to the other side but was done through the same process.

To get the right effect for my joker I used  white glaze for the face but left bits around the top of the mask to give the effect of it being face paint. For the eyes I used black copper oxide and then blended it in with the white glaze to give it that rugged effect. For the mouth and scars I used real red glaze and wasn't to precise on the positioning to give it that worn effect, then my mask was ready to go into the kiln.

This is my clay version of Harvey Dent this is the completed mould. To get to this stage I used the same process as I did with the joker but I only moulded half of the manikins face. For the other half I used the skeleton to get the mould the structure of the face right. Once the both half's were moulded I then used slip and blended the both sided of the face together to get the face. I then started to create the facial features, to get the them I used the spare clay that I had left over to create details using the tools. To get the crispy flesh effect on the skeleton side of the face I used a scourer and dabbed it on the clay and it left the effect needed. I then rolled out the spare clay into thin strips so I could create the effect of tendons and used slip to place them onto the face, after that was done I then rolled up some clay into a ball to create the eye. 

For this side of the face I used the carving tools to and carved out the facial features. Also I used the spare clay to create lips, the eye and eyebrow, I then used slip and placed them onto the face and blended them together. Once that was completed I then carved the detail into them and my face was completed and ready to go into the kiln. 

Soon as they came out of the kiln I then started to add the colour to the face. To get the burnt effect on the face I used red copper oxide and black oxide, then once that dried I used a real red glaze to give the effect of blood. On the other side of the face I used different blends of yellow glaze for the hair and used small brushes to create a tone and a more realistic effect then I used a light pink glaze for the lips and matt white glaze for the teeth and eyes, then it was ready to go in the kiln.

This is my finished mask for the joker which came out better than I expected. Even though it doesn't  look like Heath Ledger I didn't aim for that aspect as I wanted to create my own version of the joker  and I am extremely happy with the results as this was my sample but I think this become a good piece I am using it as my final piece. The choice of materials for the mask had worked well and blended in the right places. I only have one fault with this mask and that is the hole in the nose from where the clay was too thin in that place and broke off, but even though that wasn't planned I fine that it gives the piece that rough effect that it needed and completes the mask.

This is my completed version of Harvey Dent/ Two Face another successful piece especially on the skeleton side of  the face as I dint really know what I was doing and ceramics isn't really my strongest subject. I like how the real red glaze came out on the face and gave it that bloody effect with I think really makes the mask stand out and gives it that slight hint of realism. I find the only bit that I am not too comfortable on is the face side as I feel I could of done a lot better especially on the eye and lips as they didn't come out to great. Other than that I find that this process was a success and found that the clay masks came our a lot better than the rock mould masks

This is photography taken by a NASA helicopter during a launch into space. This photography has to be one of my all time favourites as is looks almost photoshopped and the photographer took the image at the right time where it is coming out of the clouds.

This is the photography that i took on my walk through llantrisant and came across this land scape and managed to capture this beautiful image using my iphone and an instagram filter.
