Week 1

I survived my first full week of college! *pops party poppers in my room alone*
...Well, it's an achievement for me, at least.

In all seriousness, I've really enjoyed the first week of my course. I feel like I've already learned a lot and I can tell that I'm really going to enjoy the next two years.

On Wednesday, we had textiles where we worked on transferring drawings of buildings we had done at home onto muslin fabric using imagemaker. We then stitched the fabric together and attached metal legs so they would stand up.

 It didn't come out great and the colours were not as vibrant as I'd hoped but it was still a fun experience.

On Thursday, we were given a task to create the alphabet out of any materials we liked. I used a variety of materials, going from the general paint and newspaper to... Blackberries I found outside. Yeah. This one's still a work in progress...

Friday was a lot of fun because we got to create comics! I love manga art and illustration so this sort of thing is right up my street. I decided to make mine about the struggles of waking up in the morning, as we had to illustrate something we had done that morning and frankly I hadn't done anything worth writing about.
I have two other comic strips to finish this week so I'll make sure to post them when they're done.

An Introduction~

Welcome to my blog!

For starters, my name is Renée. I'm an art student living in Wales and I am hoping to use this blog throughout the duration of my course to share my work and document my experiences and the things I learn. 

  I run a separate art blog on tumblr for all my digital artwork and recreational art which can be viewed at: reneesartonline.tumblr.com  

  This blog is going to be a little different to that as I am going to be posting more often and showing the processes and develop of my work, instead of just the finished products. The art I post is also going to differ because there will be more of a variety, not just drawings but textiles, 3D art, graphics, paintings and so on... 

  So yeah, if that interests you then please keep checking back here and I'll be sure to try and make it as interesting as possible
