In my 15 hour exam i wanted to make boxes with some of my prints inside inspired by the two artists (Yayoi Kusuma & William Morris) I started by sanding down my boxes with an electric sander to make sure my boxes are smooth and not rough. I then decided to paint my boxes each different colour with acrylic paint, once they had dried I used acrylic colour markers to add dots and lines. I then decided to start printmaking my patterns on different coloured paper, I then had to choose which prints i wanted in my boxes.

I then went ahead and made surreal flowers out of clay as I liked Yayoi Kusuma's style when she made her massive sculptures.

Used Powerpoint to create patterns with my ink printing.

I made more motifs from my own photography, i then started ink printing the motifs and added dots with acrylic markers to bring the artist Yayoi Kusuma into my work.

When i made my own motif pattern i wanted to do some embroidery it to see what it looked like but also to show different skills.

I made half-drop patterns and mirrored patterns with the own motifs I made inspired by William Morris.

I chose these photographs as there are a lot of different colours and shades. I decided to paint the one on canvas and pencil crayon on the other.

These are my own photographs of flowers as i wanted to make drawings/paintings from them.
