I've come to a point where I felt comfortable and confident enough to contemplate doodling upon the chair. I have figured that it was going to be difficult and is exactly that, doodling upon anything but paper or a smooth surface. This is how it went and how it shouldn't go. Granted, it could've gone a lot worse - but I have to face how I'm going to cover that god damn terrible metatrones cube. The paint has settled to a point of it having grooves which is not good for subtle accuracy. I have decide maybe I could layer and show the progress through creating the metatrones cube; a bit like the meaning of it (creation). I could maybe also find organic cotton and hand-print the metatrones cube on it, keeping it rough and the edges of the fabric rough to keep the natural feel in there.
Here's me trying out the layer effect. Although the layer effect would be different - this is how it'd somewhat turn out. However, I don't actually think I like it. I like that you can see beneath it, but I don't think it's the strongest option. The variation of colours adds to this effect and makes it stronger because they shine through brighter than the others depending on which you're looking at and it also breaks up the metatrones cube by showing how it's created, also. Next is to try it on cotton.
As a huge mushroom fan, I decided to incorporate mushrooms into my FMP. They're natural, they're nature and some give some kinda trip which relates highly to the Sacred Geometry side through spirituality. I painted this with acrylic paint, one of my strongest materials to work with - and decided to paint the highlights, and minor details. Because I've been looking at an artist named Jaeyeol Han, I thought I'd give a try at his out door based paintings. Evidently I couldn't leave it outside because I didn't want it to get ruined through the weather, but I do love how the light hits it. I made sure it blend in so hopefully it'd look natural and a part of the background.
I'm not going to write a ton on this one because it is jut a leaf - but painting leaves are my favourite. I love how different each can be and how vastly creative you can be with colours and shades. I decided to paint this quite a vibrant colour with the light in different points and it being a mix of different greens/browns. The intention wasn't to make it look overly like a real leave, I wanted to use Han's technique of almost slapping certain parts with paint to highlight and show form (his is to another level, though.)
The Metatrones Cube is a Sacred Geometric symbol that symbolises creation. Once upon a time (as the story goes) when the God created the earth or the Big Bang Happened - the main focuses are 'God Infinite Intelligence' which the Metatrones Cube symbolises. The 13 Spheres of Metatron’s Cube are representative of the 13 Archangels that stand before ‘God’. The 13 Spheres of Metatron’s Cube are also representative of our 13 Energy Centres that comprise our experience of life within our Galaxy.The 13 Spheres of Metatron’s Cube are also representative of the 13 Sacred Keys of Creation; the Sacred and Divine Universal Laws of the Intelligent Field that hold the principles of evolution and the pathways to enlightenment. Also, the sphere's on the metatrones cube symbolise femininity and the line's symbolise masculinity. This relates to nature because it has a main focus of natural living (especially with the representation of female/male and the representation of God which is by theory - a natural thing (if you believe.)
I love the GIF, it's quite pleasant and I would like to create something similar. I would like to do a GIF of nature - something that if you played something mellow, you'd find quite theraputic. To indie, pleasant mellow music for instant; this GIF becomes quite comfortable and distorted.
Despite this being unfinished, this is my latest doodle I've been doing on trains and where ever I feel anxious. I thoroughly enjoy doodling on my iPad because nobody really know's what I'm doing - I can undo it if it goes wrong and I don't have to carry around equipment to doodle it. I tried to do lots of different layers to create shadow and show depth and light on the objects. I don't, however, really like the situated piece of the indian - I think it'd be much better if I didn't include it on this. I am going to carry on doodling on it and hopefully it can influence my final for FMP because the leaves are somewhat what I'd like to be doing for the actual work and so for the flowers etc.
After realising the outside skip had be refilled with lots of items, I thought I'd take a sneaky peak. I found a chair - a chair that I love. It's teeny, definitely from the Pre School next door and despite it having un sturdy legs and the seat being broken, the chair was fit for experimental purpose. I love the thought that once, the chair was nature and then later developed into something that is no longer nature and is an every day object. For me to find it, I am considering putting it back in nature by painting it white and painting on it with flowers, leaves and nature. I think, paired with a beautiful back drop and a book of my developmental work, that maybe it could be used as quite a substantial part of my final piece.
To capture the right kind of colour, I took myself outside to have a bit of primary research. I loved the shades of this specific plant, therefore I tried to match it on my hand so I could recreate it for my chair. The colours are almost yellow - I love that. The green block colour of usual leaves is too easy to capture - especially when you're only painting them directly; so to make it more interesting I figured I may as well paint something that has shape, form and shade too it just like the photographed real plants.
Here's what I came up with. A mixture of blues, yellow's a white to get a similar colour. I mixed the blue thickly before adding a lot of yellow and blend it out with a white. As you can see on my hand, the colour are almost messily done so much so, that they are sat on top of one another in parts. I would like to capture this completely on my chair.
I decided to create a mock up of my post box. The post box on this one was created using bog standard fine art pens and coloured with pencil crayon. I drew a liquorice plant because of the previous reasoning (that worksop was mildly famous for it's liquorice); I also included leaves which are based on lime tree leaves. This is because the lime tree avenue in Worksop is the longest in Europe. When I create this properly, I think I will include more interesting facts through imagery of worksop, though. Something potentially about it's history. As much as I like the style I drew this in - it isn't what I would like it to be completely because I am very inspired by symmetrical black and white work at the moment and would like to try it out and see if it was made for a very interesting post box design to capture people's attention.
All sacred geometry is based upon the molecular structure of mathematics.
A VIDEO ON GOLDEN RATION
4:26 on wards describes how mathematical (sacred geometry) is planted within the very roots of nature.
The above information is from a Sacred Geometry site. The spiral, geometric figures somewhat prove that certain proportions are woven into the very 'fabric of nature'. I think that, by combining sacred geometry and nature for FMP would be a pleasant way too inform; but I can stick to my inaccuracy and in retrospects - it'd seem ironic.
Within sacred geometry, the golden spiral is a "logarithm". It has a special ration symbol and the golden spiral fits with essential everything - it was quite regularly used as the way to format painting's in fine art. The golden rectangle, which the spiral fits into, is one of the main greek influences for their architecture and their art.
"Swimming baths were located on the site of the former Priory mill buildings (now Sensory Garden area). The swimming baths referred to locally as the ‘Canch Lido’ was officially opened on 9th June 1910. In 1995 the lido was filled in and replaced with a sensory garden. "
After the Canch 'Lido' was filled, the next opportunity for a new pool arose. That being said, it wasn't a pool; It was more of a paddling area located in the centre of the park by the main road. It wasn't pleasant - cold, full of plasters and moss and over-run by manton chavs. Now it's a splash pool - which I don't think get's much use at all.

A lime tree leaf I saw when I went to climber for primary research! I love the shape. They're very clean cut and pleasant to look at. In my work I tried to capture the way the shape elegantly tapers off because that's my favourite part and probably the hardest to get perfect.
Lime trees avenue side 1! This is from the side of the road and it's very nice. I like the way they are all in line, perfectly.
This is 2 pieces I'm inspired by, by William De Morgan. Morgan was a victorian illustration who created tiles. He focused on leaves, plants and nature in general, just like me. I like that he used block colours and didn't go over-board with the detail. I am inspired by his leaves; these are the style I'm going to try and focus on for my chair and aim to do with a little more shade and detail.
For experimental purposes and to see what any other design rather than just nature (due to clumber park and Worksops initial notoriety for liquorish), I figured why not try something completely different. I pulled an image off of google - the worksop minor wheel - and began to use tools on photoshop to recreate the image with line work. I don't dislike it, as such - and evidently it isn't finished as a complete design; but I think it'd be a lot stronger if I represented the nature of Worksop and how beautiful the nature is here. Below is the photoshop doc of the line work simple wheel:
Beardsley uses very block black work - almost print work - to create her beautiful illustrations. They're a nice, strongly illustrative portrait drawings and they seemingly are very detailed. The flowers on the above image could be of interest for this project because they're very heavily illustrated and look as though they would catch the eye of the person looking at it. The people behind them, lack detail but not so much that they're unidentifiably people.
I really like this one, because it's even stronger than the above one. The line work is stronger and cleaner; which may be a personal opinion rather than a definitive art evaluation. I love the head and the way the hair falls delicately off of the table and shows how light the hair is and the contrast between the blood drips. I could take inspiration from her inner coat, where there's flowers that are carefully situated.
To get the shape graphically, of the Lime Tree Leaf - I pulled an image from the internet and selected the inside of the leaf. This left me with a shape of the outer leaf so I could create it somewhat accurately and so I could edit it to my own decision. I used the pen tool to add colour to the shape created on a new layer, so I could delete the back layer - the one from the internet.
After doing the above, I deleted the background from the internet and was left with a free standing layer with full opacity of a shape of the leaf I just created. This is a pleasant shape. I got the colour from the actual leaf by using the colour detect tool on the side bar, picked the colour up so it was even more accurate to it's original form.
This is the leaf after I add a simple line work focus too it. I thought that, by editing that onto it, I could decide whether or not I liked the way it would sit with it on. I like the line work but I'm going to try out illustrating by hand first and editing them all together, because I'm not sure if that would look better.
