This is the cover of a book I created in two days. It is more of a scrapbook and I am not sure if I am proud of it or not. I used many many many different mediums, collage, photoshop, photocopy, letters from old newpapers... so it turned into a little bit of a mish mash.
The idea was to illustrate ballet steps. The terms are all in french and I wanted to illustrate the meaning of the words in french and play with the typography.
Couronne - Crown
Frappe - Move fast
Chasse - Chase
Battement - Beaten
I am finally getting into this project. With only two weeks to go I should be really! I am excited to go and visit Freed the ballet shoe makers on wednesday to draw and take photos.
Do you think the fact I have bought four pairs of shoes in two weeks and am focusing my project on ballet shoes is pointing me in the direction of having a serious shoe habit? Or is it the fact I am working in a shoe shop and its influence is seeping into my brain?
Until next time
Amy
I have been reading your blog and I find it absolutely fascinating. As a young artist trying to break into the world of illustration and art, i find this blog both enjoyable to read and informative. You have officially inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI will also be moving into Maidstone very soon, possibly within the month. Perhaps we could network?
Yours, Emma
