Viewing single post of blog Year 3 Degree Project by Elaine Hedges

I spoke a while back about aspirations to create larger pieces of my triptych except resulting in more layers and to have solid pieces that hadn’t been cut out of the design to create a much more solid and complex piece, bringing out the colours in certain areas.

Due to how many layers were in each piece all three resulted in certain areas not coming through as much as  I hoped but turned out to look quite effective to myself. Due to the size it also took much longer, with all 3 pieces resulting in 15 pieces of A1 paper in total, all with the same size lines, borders and symmetry.

I always worked on these in a free style way, only relying on a compass and drawing what I wanted at the time, there was no prior planning to any of the pieces, other than if some areas were more covered in some layers, I compensated for them in other areas in order to even it up. I also chose the solid colours randomly, but stayed in line with the symmetry.

I have found a lot more maths as to be involved in my designs when they become larger due to inaccuracies with a compass.
