http://artinfluencesandallthingsartyfarty.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-art-gallery-walsalljuly-2009.html
Thursday, 15 October 2009. Walsall Art Gallery July 2009. On the 22nd July 2009, the arty fartys went to Walsall to see what exciting things they had on exhibition. But as it turned out, they were in the middle of an exhibition changeover. New Walsall Art Gallery. 11 October 2010 at 22:05. Hi, you have an excellent blog!

One day at a time.
http://sarahbarahboyle.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-started-off-by-adding-two-sides-on-to.html
One day at a time. Thursday, 13 May 2010. I started off by adding the two sides on to the pieces. I had to measure these out and cut them exactly to size. I then had to use a straight stitch and attach. Them 1/4 of an inch away from the side. This took a little bit of practising as I kept going to close to the edge. The shiny side of the material had to be faced down as the material opens out. I did it in rows of three and then was going to attach. Here, you can see that I have attached. I needed to make...

One day at a time.: Sewing for children
http://sarahbarahboyle.blogspot.com/2010/05/sewing-for-children.html
One day at a time. Saturday, 15 May 2010. I wanted to relate school and my project together. I brought a sewing kit for children. I thought that this related to my project really well. Children should be taught in primary school how to sew. This activity is really simple. The children are given needles and thread and they have to thread the thread through the holes that have already been made in the foam. All you have to do is go in and out of the holes with the needle. Saturday, May 15, 2010.

My art, my influences, and generally all things arty!: Banksy...Bristol...Brilliant!
http://artinfluencesandallthingsartyfarty.blogspot.com/2009/10/banksybristolbrilliant.html
Thursday, 15 October 2009. On the 22nd June 2009, the three arty fartys (Jaz, Rachel, and Amy) went to Bristol to go and see the Banksy exhibition. To be standing in front of Banky's work in an actual art gallery was a surreal experience. Before seeing Banky's work in the flesh, I didn't really know too much about him. I knew he was a graffiti artist, and well known for his art across the world, and that was about it. The ice cream van which was used as the gallery information point. Genius. As the title...

One day at a time.: quilt nearly finished.
http://sarahbarahboyle.blogspot.com/2010/05/quilt-nearly-finished.html
One day at a time. Thursday, 13 May 2010. Once I had finished stitching all the pieces together, I had to hem the back of the pieces that were sticking out. They had to be pinned together first and then I had to use a hem stitch to finish the back of the quilt off. Here I was taking the tacking out as all the layers are now securely together. I decided that I needed to iron the quilt as some of the parts were not quite straight. The edging to the three layers. Taken a lot of work and time and a lot of he...

My art, my influences, and generally all things arty!: My art..this year
http://artinfluencesandallthingsartyfarty.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-artthis-year.html
Thursday, 15 October 2009. My art.this year. Last year I completely focussed my work on the theme of movement, and the notion of mark making. It proved to be a real success and I was really pleased with my final outcomes. After much deliberation, I have decided that I am going to move away (ironically) from the theme of movement, and start working towards a new goal which will hopefully further develop my skills, knowledge, and understanding.

My art, my influences, and generally all things arty!: Summer School
http://artinfluencesandallthingsartyfarty.blogspot.com/2009/10/summer-school.html
Thursday, 15 October 2009. During July I worked on an AimHigher Creative Arts Summer School alongside a group of GSCE pupils from across the West Midlands. The summer school aimed to allow students who may not have considered higher education in the first instance to reconsider, and see what university life is really like, and how accessable it can be. I had the opportunity to work alongside a great group of students, fellow summer school squad leaders, and members of staff from Newman University College.

My art, my influences, and generally all things arty!: Hello...again!
http://artinfluencesandallthingsartyfarty.blogspot.com/2010/02/helloagain.html
Tuesday, 23 February 2010. So, it's been quite a while since my last post, and I am going to try even harder than before to try and use my blog more purposefully to document my findings, and explorations. My initial aim for the year was to begin to investigate and explore textures and surfaces after being really inspired by the work of artists such as Gerhard Richter, Rob and Nick Carter (but not the Backstreet Boys! So I don't really know where to go next with my work. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
