Love is a time machine
Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It's all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
Up on the silver screen,
It's all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time, and all in good time,

Seven ages of man...
Alright folks?
Todays lesson is about the Human body.
My art work is really coming along now, i have a good couple of pages of work in my sketchbook and a couple of artist studies.
As i said i wanted to focus on the idea of age and the different stages of it and then i had a real lightbulb above head moment.
Shakespeares Seven stages of man, how had i not thought of that?
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
That was the poem incase you hadn't already guessed.
One thing about my project was that i wanted to have a ripped up, newspaper look but i couldn't find any artists that would be able to support this. So one lesson i spoke to my art teacher about it and she suggested Francis Bacon, and i have to say his work is just what i was looking for. Its all decaying faces and mixed up pictures which is just how i wanted my work to look. I have always been a fan of mixed media works, work that have meanings and works that bits here and bits there. Who wants a painting that looks real, thats what camera's are for. I want paintings that say what the subject is about.
I'd love to stay and chit chat, but X-factor is on and we all know how i feel about Cheryl cole

Long time
No speak
its been a long time since i posted a blog for you. Mainly this is due to everything that is going on at the moment.
Since starting my a levels i have been only blogging on weekends , but now i work weekends so i just blog whenever i can.
Luckily for me the only people that read this are Stephen or Hannah , so its no big loss to anyone.
Whats been happening in my life i hear you ask..... nothing. Not one thing of reverence, Don't get me wrong i do have a life , jus not one i wish to share or one that you would care about.
so thats that.
One thing i have been doing is my art project. I eventually decided to base it on age and i thought this post would simply be a couple of photo's i'd share with you :)
These are just a couple because i'm lazy and in reality how wants to see them all?
i like how i write as though i have more than two readers.
so all in all thanks for reading Hannah and Stephen
hope you enjoyed it

Reality Bites
Right so next week i am starting my major portfolio in art and i am completely stumped for ideas. Well thats not technically true, i am full of ideas , i am an ideas machine but i just can't find any practical ones.
The project i have chosen is natural forms and i'd like to do something with the human form but i don't know just how to do it.
I've been playing around with the idea of the human body in all its forms , with all different body shapes and things , go gok wan on its ass but i don't know if i could practically do that. Who would i get to freely pose naked for me? Exactly.
Then i started playing with the idea of age and beauty and the idea of beauty at all ages with older people and younger people. With close ups and a bit of Hockney style photo montage. i would also then like to use the idea of hands and the age that shows on them, then with all this age thing i could have babies in it, but again with the practicalities of shooting babies.
I also like the idea of emotions and close up photos that show emotion change. I could do some prints with this idea but they would be dead simple and stuff. I'd like to combine all three ideas in a perfect world but i don't see it happening.
My favourite idea is the human body one but that also the one that would be the hardest to get first hand evidence for.
I could really do with some help on this guys, give me your opinion on these ideas and throw me some more, please, i'm desperate.
I'd like to keep it focused on the human body but the other topics are 'Architecture' and 'Litter & Debris' if you have ideas on them.
I would forever be in your gratitude if you helped me :)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
I love autumn for many reasons
the leaves,the warm hats, soft gloves,thick duvets, the bonfires, the soup, the fireworks, the sparklers,the warmth...
but mostly i love the colours... reds, oranges, yellows and browns....
i thought i'd share that with you

Painting by numbers...
I got my GCSE art stuff back today and thought i'd share it with y'all
The top on was my final exam piece where as the bottom one of the two kids was a mock exam piece. I worked solidly for two years on that course and it was all worth it in the end. There had been times where i just wanted to rip all of the work up and forget it but in then end i think it was all worth it. I have two massive sketch books as well but i can't put them up here. Even if none of you appreciate these, i know my Nan will :D
