Wax Waterfall

waxed like paper was hung at a height

a selection of crayons were then placed above the paper

The crayons were then heated by using a hairdryer

the heat from the hairdryer melted the crayons to give a water fall effect

Piece was turned upside down to create a more interesting effect

previous idea

Paper folded to create a water ripple effect

effect water has on sand

This was one of the first ideas i had when i first began the project, i wanted to look at the effect that water has on sand after it washes over it.

Take One



I began by first trying to re-create the movement of water through patterns using gesso.





I then began building up texture and also added water colour

I then began to experiment with the use of the water colours , trying to create motion through the use of the pencil and shading .





I thought the use of the water colour was an ideal material to use as the element i was trying to re-create was used when blending the water colours.



Motion and Movement

Over a number of weeks I will be trying to explore the idea of motion and movement through 2D and 3D art.
I have chosen to re-create , explore and experiment with the movement of  water.
