Visiting Christchurch Mansion and Ipswich Museum I was inspired to look at just simple but exciting objects that could inspire me to create ideas for my much larger pieces, using these images as a starting point and maybe looking at new materials and media that will develop and extend further throughout and within my work.
The sketches from Christchurch Mansion really made me look at the shape and lining of the object and it became quite difficult to transfer that into dot form so I found out I had to use different colours for each and separate section of the object but I found it was rewarding because it made the pieces vibrant, bold and visible to the eye. The media I chose was not paint which has been the main material throughout my work but instead I chose to use felt-tip pens it gives these drawings a softness effect and a kind of childlike texture, such as when your children discover the art of colouring something in, it makes it fragile and rare. Also I chose to do old objects such as the toy car and the ancient tea pot because I wanted to create something from something old by transforming it from line and shape to a mere simple dotted piece.
