I've done this process by layering hot liquid wax then later caved into it using a carving tool. I e done this so that i can see how i can manipulate different materials for my project. I also did carving into plaster. The thing i could have done better is i could have made a whole head out of wax and carved a face into it which could have been better Since i am focusing on portraits, i need to start looking in magazines for faces and try to manipulate the images by cutting them in different ways and mix and matching them. Ripping them and re-using them maybe another choice too.

My final piece turned out better then I originally, though going through the samples I never thought it would lead me to drawing on wood.I was thinking to also include the piece of latex to go with it but I didn't like the way it looked with the piece of wood, granted it is a raw material but I honestly think the wood piece on it own looks good

After looking at Audrey Kawasaki’s work it looked to natural and as to how she connects her paintings to the wood piece it self shows that art is very versatile and to me that is like speaking another language but without the use of words. this project has made me think as to how I can use so many materials like latex or charcoal, also using materials in to the latex, with that being said art can also be simple as a painting or a sketch but it all depends on how you, yourself want to portray it and how much you put in it.

Lastly if I was to change anything about it I would have produced much more wood samples to show how much I really enjoyed using that material

My final piece. 

The project is about how animals and humans connect. thought at first struggling with the decomposition part of zoomorphic I got passed it and decided to use latex, wood cardboard, and string. the first image was just the second image but with the wooden pieces being slanted from one another. I wanted my latex piece to hang while the second piece I want it to be able for people to interact with it as if it was a puzzle. that way they get to be a part of it.

in conclusion, I think my pieces went well but if I was to change anything was that I would have loved having more skulls on wood images with different ones that way people would have to try and re-arrange them in the right order I do think people do enjoy getting into art physically, mentally and emotionally to me that’s what art is, something yu can express without words.

Drawing on wood was there to represent the raw materials. The skull is to represent the animals within nature. This is what zoology is from my understanding to portray artin its purist form but also putting two elements that complement each other. Also attached the latex to these wood pieces so that the latex is included as as a raw material

I've cut out skull shapes and decided lay them on a thin layer of latex. I also added string to create a skin type feel to the skulls. The string i scattered is the vains in the body, this will give the audience a chance to feel the different textures in the in the latex.

This is a mix of cardboard, latex and string. I tried to do this process as i am trying to see if the structure will hold in the latex. I am planning to use the cardboard as one of the stencils in my final product

My work is usually based on textures and the feel of a material like latex, for a dryprint I've decided to lay a piece of fabric with the end bits out to show it's frayed bits. Painted ove the fabric with acrylic paint to make sure its coated later layed on pieces of paper rolled off the excess, place the fabric onto a zinc plate and rolled over the fabric with a paint roller. This helped me to draw out the lines, but since the lines weren't deep enough the end product wasn't as good but i will try this process again.

This process was done by using latex (liquid).The was pretty fun but the latex itself smelt awful, i got the idea from looking at Eva Hesse. I love the way Eva Hesse used the latex as a blank canvas just liquid

The details on the fish were harder to draw. But the lobster was easier

[jannelykeren-blog]

I drew a fish and a lobster. Though i struggled with the oil pastels i achieved drawing both the fish and the crustacean(lobster).

i ended up lifting the whole latex skin using baby powder to stop it from sticking to itself, later hung it to let it dry. looking at the process it showed me that i would need a good thick layer of the latex and would need to wait atleast a day to let it dry

[jannelykeren-blog]

this is after it was semi dry, i could see that from this layers it was going to work as the coats were too thin.

this is after i finished putting the layer

I Wanted to try and see if i could make a skin like layer to be used in my final project. to do this ive used a thin layer of latex then used some string to create a bumps and thin lines between the two layers. i later put a coat of latex on top of the strings.

i’ve decided try and use a screen that has paint and draw the outline of the image shown, later on the back it would come out on the other side

I’ve been doing this project for a few days and its been going good so far.
