Photoshop + Me = ERROR.

We were introduced to the magical world of Photoshop this week I can honestly say I was by no means enthused by the prospect of doing another week of it. The truth of it is this – I have been doing Photoshop for years. I only use it for posters and I have never considered using it for artwork. I am just not excited by it at all, which it really bad for me to say because I feel like I’m wasting my lecturer’s time. I will keep at it for the next few weeks and see if it leads to anything, but for now on can only hope.  

Cut Me a Collage

A recent workshop that we took part in was collage pieces inspired by the works of Matisse. Matisse’s large, vivid pieces were created during the latter part of his life due to his decreasing health, having been diagnosed with cancer. Wheelchair bound he raced to generate the final flurries of his artistic mind. The collages that he produced in these years are considered to be his greatest works. Taking the freedom of shape and colour as my own inspiration I tried to make my own collage works relating to the brief. I would say like most things I do, it does require some fine tuning.
