These are a collection of visuals I have developed based on my research from different artists and collection of pins on Pinterest. from these I have developed and used a range of different techniques and styles to develop all of my visuals overall really improving my understanding and development during this project.

This printing technique is something new I was tasked to do. I managed to develop and gain an understanding of how to use it and achieve the most effective outcomes.

With the theme of the work being around children I took some inspiration from the musical and the use of teddies since they are a key aspect in most children's lives that holds immediate significance. I finished with two different variations that I thought were quite common and universally shared between genders and ages. For the linework i used black pens and swapped the thickness throughout my work to add more dimension the teddies.

For this work I was thinking about parks and what you would come across. I finished two simple drawings of a tree swing and a circus tent, they are both quite rare in a park but I felt this would capture the imagination a little more. These two selections also offer a traditional feel and are easily pictured as part of a bygone era.

The water colour links to the original kind of artsyile of the matilda books and art work this adds familiarity while still looking unique in its own aspects. I added some lifeworks using a ballpoint pen just to create difference between then colours and make the image pop out and become more appealing to the audience with a light almost childlike look to it.

I have created an image of teacups stacked in a random fashion. This is to illustrate the amount of children in the school and their interests and what they individually see as fun. Tea parties being a very common aspects of children's childhoods it only seemed reasonable to use it for this purpose.

I used oil pastels for a childlike aesthetic almost like a child has drawn it themselves. It has bright and bold colours that intentionally clash together to create a beautiful messy look which will catch attention. This was definitely a good technique for the matilda theme as it is both childlike is design and theme.

Turpentine is known as a flammable liquid that can be not only harmful to you but the environment as well.

To ensure we are safe around it we keep it at a safe distance away in its own cup putting it away into a safe location after use and we keep skin contact with it very minimal if not at all as it can irritate the skin. if it got on my hands I have made sure to wash them to make sure no left over liquid id on me.

For this work I was given the task to create some art by taking words that relate to our project and almost twist them and play about with the sizing, shapes and colours. I created and developed three different visuals for this task that I think each represent the creativity and aesthetic of the word it reflects.

# data[].attributes.body
I have started to think of ideas for a final piece that will include inspiration from my previous visuals. I am going to use the techniques I am strongest in as to achieve the best outcome.

this will include watercolour , pen and oil pastels.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece I was thinking primarily about the decorations inside of the school and especially the classrooms.

I have constructed the lamp in a very unrealistic way as to add mystery annd creativity. I found nyself inspired by the work of Tim Burton abd the result is very cartoony. This will help link the piece to the theme 'revolting children' almost reflecting their crazy 'revolting' imaginations twisting the boring reality around them in a school which traps their creativity and freedom.

I used watered down ink to blow a splash of green surrounding the main piece of the lamp to add that bright colour contrast the the black used in the lamp then a went in with a marker or a lighter more yellow green to create more markings and doodles around the lamp.

For this work I have focused primarily on the outdoor transport and park scenes and created some quick sketches of what could be included.

I have used quite squiggly uneven lines to create my sketches which yet again can be related to the unrealistic yet creative minds of the children. This can also reflect the original artwork of the Matilda books.

While working with this technique I came across quite a few issues. First I had chose an image that I diddnt know wouldn't be as suitable for this technique this is because of the cramped close space that isn't really easy to recognise and distinguish as a bunch of books. If I were to do this again I would space our the books more as to create more blank space so we can actually recognise the shapes that are going on in the image.

Overall the technique gives the look and aesthetic of an old newspaper which I find very appealing especially towards more of the old classroom setting of matilda.

With this drawing I gained inspiration from my Pinterest with the idea of different school settings and locations. This is also a development from one of my previous sketches which I have worked on the perspective and linework.

I used a ballpoint pen to follow the direction of the corridor and lighting shading and adding detail to the walls and floor.

Although I think I could improve by adding more detail and spending more time to make to neater and more uniform.

While working on this visual i was trying to grow my talent in different variations of work hence the collage, i used old magazines to try and create a sky and grass as to base my park on.

I don't think this style of work was particularly my strong suit I found that it lead to a very messy overuse of paper and glue that just looks particularly untidy in my eyes yet I am glad that I have tried to experiment in this type of style and I may use it in the future for really crowded areas that need a lot of colour.

 'Matilda' written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

# data[].attributes.body
The illustrator to the original matilda books Quentin Blake seems to use a very bright bold almost watercolour style. I have definitely took inspiration from his quite uneven bold artwork and

I like how the drawing illustrates the world semi-unrealistic and cartoony while still holding clear resemblance to the real world adding that creativity for the readers to explore and enjoy.

Studio Ghibli is a Japanese animation film studio founded in June 1985 by the director Hayao Miyazaki

He works mainly in animation yet I wanted to focus on some of his early rough sketches. this is because Miyazaki uses quite rough linework and works in watercolour, I find that this relates to Quentin Blake quite a bit with his art style.

For this visual I have gained inspiration from the word chalk and used it to link to chalkboards that are usually used in schools back in the day.

First I have sketched out the letters onto white paper picking quite a long cartoony font then I had cut it out and stuck it on a black background almost as if a teacher has written the word on a chalkboard.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the first piece I created, I have layered old paper over the top of white to mimic an old crowded almost classroom like appearance I then used a stick and ink to lay out my lettering, I wanted it to look quite professional as if this is what the teacher has handed out as work.

Tim burton and his distortion of reality.

Tim burton is a huge inspiration for some of my work this is because he distorts the reality around him quite unrealistically I find that this use along with his quite rough linework really reflects that of some of Quentin Blakes work (for example his body proportions and the way he illustrates objects around him).

# data[].attributes.body
For this visual I have really focused on developing my new knowledge of using oil pastels especially with using turpentine as a solvent to blend the pastels together creating the realistic look of fur.

I also worked quite a lot with colour using blue to really add a contrast into the black this has come out very effective and allows the dog to look that bit more realistic.

I have chosen to create this visual because I wanted to vary what I included and I found that childhood quite often coincides with that of a family pet. this is why i have chosen to illustrate a dog for my work. this could be used in children's homes or even in parks and outdoor settings which will fit quite nicely with the 'when I grow up'

For this visual I was given the task to create something 3D. with this I have chosen to create a park scenery as to fit into the Matilda project.

I have used a range of pipe cleaners straws and different variations of paper to create my trees , slide and swing. I worked with perspective allowing my work to be in different places (my swing being in the forefront of my work and the slide pond and trees being on different levels as to allow my piece to look more 3D to the eye.

I would improve this visual by adding more illustrative work into it (things I have drawn) as I find that that it where my strength is most in my work.

# data[].attributes.body
This visual was created using oil pastels as to mimic the look of coloured chalk kids play with in the park or playground I have chosen to use bright bold colours as to make the lettering really exaggerated and pop out.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a rough sketch / idea for my final design that plays with all my different illustrations and combines them into one scenery.

I have chose to continue developing and working on this idea to improve it

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to work on different ways I can draw and design the teddies in my final piece I worked on dfferent perspectives and styles I could use I enjoyed this developments as it helped me gain an understandingof how I really wanted my final piece to look like

For the brief I was given the task to create and develop illustrations and reaserch for the Matilda musical. We have been asked to focus on two specific scenes with that being 'revolting children' and 'when I grow up'.

While creating my illustrations I will develop and improve different art styles and techniques.

To achieve this i will create multiple pieces of work that surround the areas of schools and parks this is so they can fit into the backdrops of the two Matilda scenes.

Developments of different perspectives and viewpoints

This is my artwork for my final piece it includes multiple techniques and visuals that I have made sure links and works uniformly with one another.

I have used teddybears to link to childhood along with the teacups to add a sense of a child's tea party alongside books that link to the original illustrations of the matilda books. Finally all being put together in the scenery of a park which references the 'when I grow up' scene from the brief we were given at the beginning of this project.

# data[].attributes.body
I made multiple mistakes during this piece that I could have heavily improved upon.

The main target being my perspective and sizing of the picnic blanket and the teddies, they look out of place and they almost look as if they don't fit in the setting.

I also used black paint to outline the teddy with just looked messy and it smudged during the process to improve I would use fineliner instead of paint to allow the most detail
