15/03/2021: National Trust research.

 For part of my research for UNIT X, I will be looking into the national trust as my dream commission would come from them. I am interested in what they do to protect and maintain the UKs wildlife so I am going to research their work.

First of all, I want to start with a brief overview of the national trust and explain what it stands for.


The national trust is a charity and membership organisation set up to preserve places of historical interest and natural beauty. Heritage properties belonging to the national trust can be located in England Wales and Northern Ireland with Scotland having its own separate trust organisation. The national trust owns the largest number of historical gardens and parks in Europe with 180 being registered.

After carrying out some research on the ways in which the trust protects British wildlife, I decided to visually breakdown my research. I created these mind maps to show how many of the different locations focus on particular species and what they do to help them. Below are some images of my mind maps.

 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.
