So I ended the last blog during Graphics so I'll pick up what happened for the rest of the week.
After successfully setting up my blog, I had art history next where we learned the correct terminology for art technique such as Shade (adding black to a colour) and Tint (adding white) along with some quick info on research.

Friday we started the day in printmaking where we sketched areas of our still life set up that we would be using in our prints. The difficulty was trying to see things in the 2 tone perspective and determine which areas where more light or dark and if they worked well in a pattern. Then in the afternoon we went to a lecture on photography to see how it is used in the business world and followed up with a brief introduction to using the cameras and white boards to capture light.

Today (Saturday) I went to the art exhibition at Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery to see professional pieces of art and so I could see what techniques I can adapt into my own work.
