My A Level Art work from 2012 - 'Identity'

These were originally 3 separate A4 sketchbook pages. I divided each page into 6 sections, 1 for each person meaning there are 18 different drawings in total. I scanned them onto my laptop and used GIMP to put them all together.

They were all drawn from photos I had taken myself of various friends and family members. I just went straight into it with a black biro so there are a few mistakes here and there but I think that adds to its charm.

Eventually these drawings were enlarged, refined and put onto screens that I then used to print the images onto calico material. This print became my final piece and was roughly 3 metres wide - my biggest artwork to date! The theme behind my work was 'identity' and I researched Kitchen Sink art which portrayed life as unglamorous and 'real', something that I really liked and tried to adopt in my work.

For this project I got a B grade and for my Art A Level overall I also got a B grade which I'm very happy with.
