The first artist I picked was Jackson Pollock. I came across a book on his 'Psychoanalytic Drawings' in the library and was really shocked. When I thought of Pollock I only thought of his 'Drip Paintings'. I really liked his drawings! The one image that really stood out for me was the one below. Strong colours are something I wouldn't normally go for, but I knew we had to challenge ourselves, so I embraced it!!
I worked on my sketchbook and played around with different combinations. This was my own interpretation of Pollock's work:

The next artist I came across was Sky Pape. Here is a link to her website: Sky Pape Artist. She's incredible. "Reaching beyond brushes, pens, and typical tools, my methods include drawing with mist, ice, rain, and palm fronds, allowing the materials themselves to convey something of natures intensity."
"Working on the floor, blowing ink through tubes and funnels, she uses the air in her lungs to propel the ink and "breathe" the drawings to life. The ink drawings, abstract by nature, manage to strongly elicit elements and forces in the natural world."
This is one of her images that I love! She cuts out pieces of her work which creates a 3D effect. Great!
This is what I worked on and came up with. It was great fun!
Finally, we had to work on something 'Blue'!
For me, blue is my favourite colour. I know that blue is known to be a cold colour, but for me, nah!!!!! It's a warm colour. It's comforting, reassuring, calming, and I feel at peace when I see blue. I always like to have something blue with me, either in clothing or jewellery. It's like a lucky charm!! This is what picture I worked with:

| I've used circles of blue as they represent complete circles of warmth to me. Here was my work ready for mid-way review:  I later played with coloured inks and cut out sections: |
