19th October 2005 Today we were experimenting with paints. It was really fun when we got to blow it with straws and it went everywhere. I was thinking up ideas for my main project and talking to Sarah about them. Hannah was sketching some trees, they look very good. Later on we started to look at other people’s work in the group and shared our ideas. They said my work was good, I was pleased. They also gave me suggestions on how I could improve my work. Earlier in the week we took pictures of the moon and trees to help us with our work.


Light and dark combine to give dramatic results whilst a ghostly moon adds a spooky atmosphere

28th October 2005 I have started to create my research by drawing the moon and trees at different angles and times of night. For this I am using photographs I have taken, and some books about Charnwood, which show a number of pictures of the woods and surrounding area. I have decided to experiment with paint, crayon, ink and tissue to create texture. My teacher said a limited palette of blues, greys and whites would be good to create an atmosphere in my work.
Building up layers of colour can be a good way to give a picture depth	Colour, shade and texture make this tree seem very 3-d
Black and white combine in this textured picture to make a very eye catching tree	A lot of great designs were ceated for the True Noon project
