Bags Of Interest

First off, I sketched a quick observational drawing of my wallet with a blue pen. I figured, it wasn't a creative piece of work and so I took a photograph and edited the image on a photo editor.

- Photo image edited on photo-editor app called Aviary.

The colour of the ink worked well on the background as it spread around the wallet giving it a new advanced look.

I went back on my sketchbook, then I decided to replace the pen drawing with collage technique, as I had done quite a bit of collage techniques on my last project I felt that I quite confident with collage technique.

I used a bag of cookies from Sainsbury's as the material to assemble the collage.

The cookie bag is also a "bag of interest" which is my starting point theme.

The two bags above, both are bags of interest.

Here is the assembled collage so far.

Matisse- Project for "The Strana Forandola

Digestives Biscuit Packaging (Bag)

KFC Spicy Wings Bag

As I reviewed my ideas on this piece of work, I asked for suggestions from my teacher, friends and families. I received the same feedback from all of them. Then I decided to refine and develop this particular piece. I covered up the text "Ernest Jones" by layering with bits of Nuneaton newspaper & applying acrylic paint over it.

Artist Influence Experiments

I stared off with an observational drawing of a camera which sat next to its bag. I desired to make my bag of interest study a creative concept, this then led me to draw the bag so it looked like the camera was in the mid air. For instance while I am taking the camera out the bag.

I studied the bag inside and out to consider how I will put together the two objects, while I held the camera in the mid air, I captured the existence vividly in my mind.
I fired off with full concentration holding the still memory that I captured in my mind's eye of the bag and the camera in the mid air.

Bag of Fish (Rainbow Trout)

I first started off with the theme "Tradition" before I got the options to choose from the controlled assessment booklet.

As I had decided I wanted to explore my ideas entering the path "bags of interest".
I used white emotion to cover up the annotations of the tradition concept o the fish.

Here is an observational drawing of a shopping bag.

This piece needed refining, so I decided to add a plastic bag over it.

I refined this piece of work again and I completely changed the appearance but keeping the same intention, "bags of interest".

Very first thing I did was, I took the bag of, then

I added bags of texts and prints of bank notes on top of the drawing layering with some white emotion to blend everything in.

Observational drawing of a money bag.

I have carefully choosen this particular object as the money bag is a bag of interests; Bank notes, identity cards, bank cards, access cards and many more interests.
