I threw a dart at the world map and it landed on Iraq, this was where my project started, research on Iraq. I started this by locating Iraq on a map and drawing out the continent the country it is based in. I also located the Iraqi flag and the famous Golden Mosque which was blew up in 2007.
It seems the current affairs status focuses on war within Iraq, I based it along these lines.
In the picture below, I have used a transfer print where I placed strong white emulsion paint, placed an image on top for fifteen minutes which then I could peel the image back off and it would have printed on my page.
On my final information page about Iraq, I can created a view finder frame. I selected sections of my page to sketch from.
Drypoint Printing - I did this method by using a metal plate and a Drypoint nail to sketch an image which then I applied ink across the plate and used a scrub to get rid of the excess ink. I then placed this through an electric printing press which produced very good detail.
Collagraph- I took a piece of cardboard which will be use to create a tank. I used different types of sticky tape to create levels of texture, I carved cardboard to make the wheels. I used sandpaper as the main body of the tank which created texture and shadows with all the colours I used.
