the link above demonstrated, perspective art greatly, and also added humour to the mix, which is always good...

the link above was very interesting, i also love Vsause, they usually have alot of science videos too.
it helped me significantly with expanding my ideas on the currrent projet.
watch it right now!
Here are some examples of how perspective and illusion art works, these are buildings that have things projected on them, which then make them no longer look like the original shape.

Egon Hand Painting.

 Here is a Tribute to Egon Schiele, I wanted to replicate one of his hand art that seems to look like it is coming out of a crack of a wall or something similar.
I receated this using oil pastels and water colour paints.
I tried to keep the theme of the types of colours he uses aswell.
It was successful and I was happy I managed to makes it look like it was bursting out the middle of my page.

Here is a painting I did for my

Jewelry workshop

These are pictures part of my first workshop in Jewellery, throughout it I practised a range of techniques that were inspired by Shape, pattern and form found in the hands, which were: Embossing, Etching, Piercing and enamelling.

    The first 3 is where I used Etching and annealed metal and a Die is what makes the imprint, this could be things from fabrics, papers and other materials. I feel my favourite is the first one which seemed to me to turn out like a poppy, it make a beautiful imprint, I feel i mastered the technique quickly and was enthusiastic to develop different imprints on the brass.

I was surprised how well the details showed up though the delicate fabric I used, I  loved the 'Steampunk' look  when using the blowtorch.

This spider web was using a technique called Pickling, which  is a metal surface treatment used to erode around the parts without stuff on it, as you can see where I used a special adhesive tape, it stopped the acid from getting to the web parts where I used black tape. I would of like if the lines came out more even and more precise but it was my first try and for that I think I succeeded well.

This was my final piece on a larger chunk of brass, using the solution of Pickling using acid, I first painted all of my hand in a resistant paint which had the consistency of black syrup, and evenly distributed it on the brass piece, waited for it to dry then put in the acid and waiting around 15-20 minutes, when I took it out I washed of the acid, dried it, then used abrasive sand paper material to scratch away the black surface that was left from the technique, as you can see some of the black was still left purposely because I thought it looked good like a old rusty run-down steam train. Additionally, I am glad that the black sunk into the cracks of the finger prints to give more detail and represent my Hand project goals well.

here is my attempt at at using steel in the kiln, and each time checking on if the colours have melted properly, I tried to make a dark and light blue pattern but I sprinkled the dust on too unevenly meaning there was patches missing and I wasn't aiming for that, but I managed to mend it by putting a solid form of the coloured dust which was the red to fill in the gaps and when it was cooling I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but once it had finished I believe it looked quite nice.
the other picture with the pink diamond shape with black background, happened by surprise, it was meant to be a repeated flower pattern but I clumsily forgot about it in the kiln so it had too much time to merge and melt into one another however it was beautiful none the less.
