07/12/2020: Clover Robin artist research.

 


Clover Robin is an artist based in the UK who specialises in cut paper images. I discovered her work whilst browsing on Pinterest and I can see some similarities in both of out methodology and imagery. Robin mainly creates work that is focused around the natural world and various places. I really like her approach to creating the shapes she uses which appears to be heavily influenced by cubism. This is evident through her use of angular lines which often alters the perspective of the object very slightly which is a stylistic trait commonly found within art of the cubism movement. Artists such as Picasso can be attributed to the link between collage and cubistic qualities.

 Furthermore, I also really like the colour pallet Robin uses in her works - it is largely earth toned with occasional pops of colour. I also like how pronounced her textures are in the paper she creates - you can literally see the brush strokes in some instances.

 Below is all of the final artwork for my children's book 'Nature Explorers'. The book separates different habitats as the viewer delves into the wild life that is associated with each location. The book features a combination of digital and traditional collage - the entire image making process has been fully documented on my blog. For now I have added Lorem Ipsum to demonstrate where I have considered placing the text. I plan on writing the text for this book, along with the left over pages, post submission in preparation for the degree show. Stand alone images without text: Woodland section: Meadow section: Farmland section: Coastal section: Endpapers: Cover:

Image
Below is the rough design for the bee spread I am working on. My idea behind this piece was that I wanted to feature bees and their hive amongst an apple tree which I collaged as part of my work in the authorship unit. With it being one of my more successful collage works, I really wanted an opportunity to use it in this book Below is the final image. I really like how this page spread turned out. I like the texture and the colours and think it is visually exciting

14/05/2021: Inside barn(page 6).

Image
Below is the design for the barn spread. For this page I wanted to show all the insects that live in the damp dark conditions in a barn within a farm habitat Below is the final art work for this spread. I decided to replace the spiders with more moths as I really liked the design of the collaged moths and thought they would stand out better on the dark background as opposed to how the spiders would look.
