Film Making
As part of Martin's film class, my group, which consisted of myself, Angela, Rita, Rebecca and Emma made a documentary of the people behind the college. We interviewed Sean the receptionist, Ann the librarian and Noel the caretaker. It was a very interesting project and we found out some very interesting things. We also got to learn how to use cameras, sound recorders, tripods, premier pro etc. We are hoping to get the chance to show it to the class at some stage, once Martin sees the finished piece.
Digital Media Work
For my digital media, I decided to upload some of my drawings and prints onto photoshop and alter them by using contrast, different colours, different filters etc.
Aquatint
I am hoping to now do an aquatint over my current etching. I think tonal qualities that can be achieved from aquatint would really suit this etching and help contribute to the concept of fading memories.
Etching
For my etching I decided to recreate an image from my memory of my grandmother's living room. I drew her old armchair out of memory, including a floral wallpaper, old fashioned pub lights and a light switch. I then drew this free hand onto the prepared zinc plate using a scribe. This etching helps me to remember my grandmother when she used to live in her home. I used a dark brown ink and I am hoping to handcolour one or two in my edition.

The Stages of Alzheimers - Woodcut Print
This is one of my prints which I entitled "The Stages of Alzheimer's , I used my woodcut stamp and by adding white ink to the black ink I created varying tones, and layered them slightly on top of each other to create a fading effect which represents the fading memories of my grandmother, the last colour gradually getting to a very light grey on the white fabriano paper that I used, however its still clear to make out. I am hoping to emboss the woodcut on the last section - so that there is no ink used, only an impression on the paper.
