2D: Ready-made

2D art is basically flat art and can be created by printmaking, pencil, charcoal, acrylic paint, water colour and the more commonly used mediums along with most digital art

At the start of this project we had to choose 5 ready made objects to work with. I chose to work with a key, circuit board ,patch work from a pillow cover ,wadding and bubble wrap. then went on to creating 6 A2 drawings all based on these 5 objects to help get familiar with them. So each drawing that I did , I looked at patterns and synchronization. I really liked how these drawings worked out because they where simple and you could see elements of each object with in each piece.


After doing these drawings, we explored the print making work shop. We mainly looked at screen printing. for this we started by creating 2 A5 separations on tracing paper ,based on 1 of the 6 drawings. Sadly I wasn't in for the actual print session so instead I made 2 separations by making 2 separate paper cutting stencils then I created 3 prints all together, 1st print was just of the black lines, 2nd print was just the blue filler and the 3rd was both of them put together. I think that I could of done these prints better especially the black print and the layered print because the black one ended up going everywhere and leaking into the places I didn't want it to and the layered one I wasn't thinking when I was doing it because I should of done the blue before the black but instead I did it the other way round and the black leaked into the blue which made the piece look messy.

Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza´s characteristic use of crafts such as patchwork, knitting or embroidery combined with other media on her artistic work, bestow a poetic quality to depictions of plants and their growth – which defy our serial and industrialized times. Since she graduated from the Art Faculty of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú , Barboza´s use of manual crafts became the means to convey a meditative and powerful observation with the environment and her relationship with reality. Her laborious use of traditionally feminine handicraft has become her trademark, where her interest was centered initially on depictions of herself and the relationship with her body and in Animales Familiares  on the liaison of herself and her relation with others by the use of animal metaphors. Through photographs the artist recently has registered spaces she inhabited for long periods of time. With this technique, her experiences were depicted in an image; printed on paper as footprints on

Lauren Velvick

Lauren Velvick is a writer, Artist and curator based in Manchester. She is currently CO director of the exhibition centre for the “life and use of books” and programme co-ordinator at Bluecoat Arts Centre in Liverpool. She is also a contributor to the national and local arts publications , for example : Arts Monthly, The Skinny, The Double Negative and This is tomorrow, and is also a contributing editor of corridor 8 She is inspired by Encountering every day creativity and intensely boring/meditative city walks, all sorts of things I like how she uses text , writing and speaking as a performance piece instead of just painting a picture but I don’t think I could do this in my practice because im not really a performing artist. I also like how her work is sometimes based on her response to other artist http://www.lifeanduseofbooks.org/old_site/corridor-videos.html I was unable to add some videos of Laurens work but here is a link to some

Family Selfie

Throughout this semester I wanted to challenge myself and look at working with calico, watercolour and stitch looking at figures in photographs, I also wanted this piece to be very personal to me and be in memory of my nanna as well as be a public piece. For this project I wanted to look at how The Walker Gallery is a very family friendly gallery but not everyone can Remember seeing all the gallery which gave me the idea to look at how our minds might betray what we remember. The piece I created was called “Family selfie” and its 8” x 8” and the media used was water colour and stitch on calico, it is about the idea of remembering little bits like colour of someone’s hair or the colour of what they are wearing, this piece is also about patchy memories and tangled thoughts, so you can remember what colour hair someone has but you can’t remember their facial features or brand of clothing they had on which ties in with why this piece is in the café.
