Aboriginal Art CD Covers - Art Project Catchup!

Hello hello hello!

Welcome back to another 'Art Project Catchup!'

In my last art project, I was studying Aboriginal Art. This type of art is known for being intricate and detailed, something that I struggled to re-create. The end product of my project was a pair of Aboriginal Art inspired Converse boots. But, along the way I had to research many different aspects of the art until I reached my final product. One of these aspects was 'Modernising Aboriginal Art' and for this I decided that I would re-create CD covers.

But to mix it up a little bit for my blog, I've decided to add some song suggestions from these albums for you to listen to!

So, here they are...

X (Multiply) - Ed Sheeran

My Favourite Songs-

Bloodstream

I'm a Mess

Don't

Riot! - Paramore

My Favourite Songs-

For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic

Fences

Misery Business

1989 - Taylor Swift

My Favourite Songs-

Blank Space

Out of the Woods

Wildest Dreams

Are you a fan of Aboriginal Art? Do you like how I've re-created these CD Covers?

1920's Flapper Girls - Art Project Catchup!

Hey guys!

I hope you're all enjoying your Easter/Spring holidays so far, I know I am! 

It's nice to relax and have lie-ins in the mornings, but I have got quite a bit of homework to complete. 

Talking of homework (nice segway Fran), I've been completing an art project recently. I struggle sometimes to just sit down and do some art, so I really need to get on with this project now!

I thought I would share some of the work I've recently done. 

For my project, I am focusing on '1920's American Culture'. I've always been intrigued by this time period, so I wanted this to be reflected in my work.

A section of my work is focused on 'Women and their roles in the 1920's'. I wanted to do a couple of pages on the importance of Flapper Girls and how they changed women's roles.

Ethlyn Clair - American Actress/Flapper

1920's Vogue cover

Gilda Grey- American Actress/Flapper

What is your favourite time-period? Are you a fan of the 1920's like me?

Let me know in the comments!

I hope to share some more of my art project throughout the holiday,

Thanks for reading,

"We are like Young Volcanoes" - A little catch-up and a couple of canvases.

Hello hello hello!

I've had a pretty busy couple of weeks, in which I had my first exams (AHHH!) 

So I've spent most of my time trying to revise and attempting to cram information into my mind, so I was prepared(ish). Thank you to those of you who wished me luck! 

The exams went well, but I'm able to re-sit if I'm not happy with my grade. 

It was really strange to see how people reacted to the thought of an exam. Throughout the week, people would just be asking everybody "Have you revised?" on repeat.

People were so stressed about them, it was unbelievable. I just wanted to give everybody a hug to re-assure them that they were going to be okay! I found that having a dance to Beyoncé made everything better. 

If you have any exams coming up, don't worry, just revise and try your best. 

I know you're gonna do great! 

I re-discovered these pictures of some canvases I painted a while back & thought I should share them with you ☺

I love painting canvases, because I always find it really relaxing. I love choosing what colours to use, and what the characters are going to look like. I like to paint canvases for people when they're upset or ill, because I find it cheers them up a bit.

These are a pair of Canvases that I painted for my friend when she was going through a tough time.
They're both on display in her bedroom & that puts a smile on my face.

"I think a lot, but I don't say much." - Anne Frank
I was so happy with this canvas, the hair was inspired by Hayley Williams (Paramore) in the 'Riot!' days.

"We are like young volcanoes" - Fall Out Boy (Young Volcanoes)
This canvas is a portrait of my friend. I struggle to draw eyes, so I decided to draw her with her eyes shut.

"Weird is awesome!!!" (I realized after I had written this that I spelt weird wrong...)
I painted this canvas for my buddy Alice (I call her 'Little Fran')

How do you cope with Exams? Let me know in the comments ☺

I hope you all have a fantastic week, 

See you all soon,

Fran ♥
