1. Emily Ramsey Architecture portfolio UCAS ID: 139-075-5404
2. Year 1 Fine Art work - exploring perspective drawings: Charcoal observation study. Pencil study across a double page, A3 sketchbook.
3. Year 1 Fine Art work - inspired artists: David Hockney response, acrylic collage. Edward Hopper response and artist transcription, acrylic paint.
4. Year 1 - Fine Art final piece: This piece was inspired by both Edward Hopper and David Hockney. Hopper inspired me to use small brushes to apply intricate detail to a bigger piece. Hockney inspired me to use different viewpoints in order to build up my final composition.
5. Current Fine Art work - initial ideas for themes: Current Fine Art work – inspired artist transcription: Exploring different viewpoints in pencil, pen, ink and water. Leon Kroll, artist transcription in oil paint.
6. Photography work - nature vs manmade theme, darkroom and digital: Scratching into darkroom print to enhance texture of plant, creating a higher contrast. Digital images, studying the nature elements casting shadows over the manmade.
7. 3D model exterior plan: For my EPQ I set myself the task of creating an exterior design for a villa in Spain. My ideas were affected by the surrounding environment; for example, I wanted large windows to show the mountain views around the villa. These plans show how I calculated measurements and combined different parts to create one final design. I also added tone to show how different directions of sunlight affects areas of the building.
8. 3D exterior model, prototype: I used recycled corrugated card and a scalpel to create a rough idea of my final artefact. This prototype has helped me to improve my final idea and use better materials and adhesive to create a more sustained piece. For example, next time I will use a hot glue gun and thinner card.
