Collaborative screen print- (c) Kath Howard 2011

My finished screen print where i worked collaboratively with someone from my class by combining our drawings. Overall I was left with a range of different coloured screen prints and different types of paper in which we worked on through experimenting but chose this one as my final screen print as I really loved the combination of colours and the texture of the brown paper. I really enjoyed screen printing more than I thought and am hoping to come back to this technique again soon in the future.

Portrait work 2010

Andy Duke- (c) Kath Howard 2010

I thought i'd upload this portrait i did some time ago now to just show the sort of work i enjoy doing, this being one of my favourites and most pleased with. I used acrylics for this piece starting on a dark background in the style of Carrivagio. I'm hoping to do some more portraiture in the future when i get the time :) 

Sunrise Sunset 14 day project - October 2011

This project consisted of 14 days by which I had to get up to catch the sunrise and sunset and where I would create a piece each time based on how i felt/ what i saw etc. I was then given a choice of choosing a few to display at the end and here are the following ones i chose all for different reasons.

Street collage- (c) Kath Howard 2011

A collage representation of my street. I chose this one as i love how simple it is and how effective lines can be to create a familiar image.

Colourful sky- (c) Kath Howard 2011

Using think acrylics i layered paint to create this piece based on emotions of discomfort. I really love the textured feel this particular piece gives.

Warm ripples- (c) Kath Howard 2011

For this piece i used a printing technique using thick acrylic painted in a certain direction to get an image which represented the reflection of a puddle yet had a sense of warm-ness which i feel i achieved.

Hazy skies- (c) Kath Howard 2011

With this piece i used the same technique but this time using thin layers of watercolours to create a more scattered and icy effect.- One of my favourite outcomes.

Flock of Birds- (c) Kath Howard 2011

This was my first piece this year during September for the project 'Articulation of space' . I was given dimensions of 1.4mx1mx60cm . I then had to interact with the space i was given during research and other workshop tasks. My outcome was an installation of a flock of origami birds all marked with the dimensions view able at different angles. The piece took a fair amount of time but overall i'm happy with the outcome as a first piece :)
