In october my Advanced Higher Art class took a trip to the natural History of Art Museum in town. This was a key opportunity to make a couple of sketches of animals mainly because until this point I was drawing from pictures, so to be able to study stuffed animals gave me a sense of perspective and texture.

For the Expressive folio I chose the theme ”In the Kitchen” where I researched into items often found in a kitchen. Then I developed this idea by trying different layouts and alternative mediums. I found that it looked best when using high key lighting. The final Piece was set in my kitchen with a objects set around a pot.
I chose to make a clock for the design folio, it is based on African animals. I tried to recreate the shapes and forms of animals with clay, paper mache and balsa wood. The final design is a tiger with zebra, elephant, giraffe and crocodile overlooking from behind, along with each animal’s tail hanging on a spring below the tiger’s body.

In Advanced Hight Art and Design my theme is the zoo as the aim is to create a childrens playground set in the zoo. As part of the research for this I drew pictures of animals to get an idea of the shapes which could be used to develop in order to make the playground relevent. The elephant was done in biro with watercolour on top. This mixed medium helped me to branch out and experiment with other types of medium. Both the orangatange and dear was done in colourd pencils where as the parrote was created by layering up colours by printing.

This is my project from Standerd Grade Craft and design. I chose to make a Cabinet to hold make up and jewelery. My aim was ultimatly to make something very diferent for storing large amounts of make up/jewelery and to fully function efficiently. In the slide show is several images from the folio including the cover, reasearch page, ideas, development, final design and technical drawing. Also there is a selection of photographs of the cabinet from different angles. This best demonstrates how it works and the joints of wood work.
