More sketchbook pages

Image boards produced for FMP pitch

This board is the project which was carried forward.

It shows kitsch items & camp culture.
It also shows vintage catholic literature on how to say a rosary & the story of saint Gertrude.

There is a pink plastic crucifix glued to the board & I chose bright glittery garish colours to emphasise the playful & fun content of the project.

I was told to be careful of the content as students previously had got in trouble for putting religious art in an exhibition.

I have chosen to keep my sketchbooks private as I do not wish to offend anyone.

Image boards produced for FMP pitch

This cream board is a pitch on female saints.
I could have researched female artists & feminist works.

My pitch was to create tapestries & mixed media canvases based on
Portraits of the saints.

An example of a female saint I would of used is saint Lucy who plucked out her own eyes as she said her beauty was preserved for god.

The Thatcher nut cracker is up there with the George W Bush butt plug as a piece of design history.
