I had done some sketches and a bit more research into carnival, the characters, folklore and a photo shoot whilst producing my other project but I hadn't really spent much of my time producing proper artwork. So after handing that project in, instead of having a rest which I would love to do I stuck at in and got on my kitchen table working through the evening again. I even went to town at the weekend just gone and filled up on paints, sequins, glitter and paper.
Ive done quite a few pencil sketches at this point but i was worried if I kept up with this style I would get bored as I normally do. So I thought to myself what do I enjoy with art?
Getting messy was one thing that came to mind so straight away I started splodging paint, glitter and and little bits I could find to paper expressing the bright colours of the carnival I had researched.
In my time working on my other project I spent a few very boring days at work on the computer and found myself looking into graffiti and stencils a lot.
Ive always loved Banksy but instead of looking at through his work for inspiration I looked just into the style of using stencils and focusing on the female form. So on my first proper night back to my fmp I decided I wanted to try something like this myself , stocking up on black paper i drew a basic outline for a women wearing carnival costume and I slowly cut my way through.
As this was my first attempt I wanted to see what else I could get from the remaining paper so put my imagination to use working with both positive and negative. I need to sort out a memory card for my camera but as soon as I do I will upload some pictures of my experimenting so far.
Below are some images i found that had inspired me.
