This is one ecample of my plate being use to in the style of monoprint and adding abstract elements. I like how this came out as the blue and green work well together. as well as the parcel tape for the abstract. We used our worst prints and added this which improved quality.
Cy Twombly
In 1962 Cy Twombly (born 1928 in Lexington, Virginia) painted a work that illustrates many of the abiding engagements of his practice. Untitled is divided into two zones by a horizontal line about two thirds of the way up. Across the bottom edge of the canvas, Twombly has scribbled a textual fragment gleaned from the poet Sappho: “But their heart turned cold + they dropped their wings.” The phrase, suggesting a hovering between higher and lower realms, conjures up a distant classical realm, even as the grappling, awkward hand renders the words materially present.
I really dont like Twombly's style as i dont really see how it can be 'art', It just seems random, like just strokes of paint all over and i really dislike it.
Barbara Rae
'Barbara Rae CBE RA has taken inspiration from the vivid sun-drenched colours of Spain in her latest silkscreen prints. Rae's paintings combine the influence of landscape and travel with painterly abstraction. When Rae was awarded a travel scholarship in 1966, it unleashed a love of travel that remains with her. Although she does not like the term landscape painter, the importance of place is very apparent in her works; in particular the human traces and patterns of history that are left on a landscape. Her colours tend to be either really bright or really dark but never in between, and involve landscapes. They are made up of various colours and a lot of different shades of the colours.
Print making - the process
Our first print making attempts, i believe mine went really well, i really enjoiyed it as the process were long and strenuious the actually outcome was worth the effort especially on the first one. One problem i ran into was the bubble wrap, onto the second attempt the bubble wrap t shirt started peeling off so i removed it to spare myself trouble. The process was basically once we werre in print making room, we placed our callograph plate, we placed some paint onto a glass sheet and rolled a little bit to make a big patch of paint. We used the roller to roll the paint onto our plate to cover it completely, we then moved onto placing paper over our plate and the putting it onto the pressed, the press put big pressure onto our plate and it made a template onto the piece of paper we pklaced on top.
Jenny Saville
Jenny Savilles life drawings can be seen often as disturbing and obscene, with the ele,ments she puts into her life drawing, but the style and design is very amazing. The use of the brush strokes and materials used to make her pieces add a really good and proffesional feel to her piece as it adds a really good mixed colour and mixed stroke element into the piece.
Saville works and lives in Oxford, England. Saville went to the Lilley and Stone School (now The Grove Specialist Science College), Newark Notts for her secondary education, later gaining her degree at Glasgow School of Art (1988–1992), and was then awarded a six month scholarship to the University of Cincinnati, where she states that she saw "Lots of big women. Big white flesh in shorts and T-shirts. It was good to see because they had the physicality that I was interested in". A physicality that she partially credits to Pablo Picasso, an artist that she sees as a painter that made subjects as if "they were solidly there....not fleeting".
She studied at the Slade School Of Fine Art between 1992 and 1993. At the end of her postgraduate education, the leading British art collector, Charles Saatchi, purchased her entire senior show and commissioned works for the next two years. In 1994, Saville spent many hours observing plastic surgery operations in New York.
Saville has dedicated her career to traditional figurative oil painting. Her painterly style has been compared to that of Lucian Freud and Rubens. Her paintings are usually much larger than life size. They are strongly pigmented and give a highly sensual impression of the surface of the skin as well as the mass of the body. She sometimes adds marks onto the body, such as white "target" rings.
Since her debut in 1992, Saville's focus has remained on the female body, slightly deviating into subjects with "floating or indeterminant gender," painting large scale paintings of transgender people. Her published sketches and documents include surgical photographs of liposuction, trauma victims, deformity correction, disease states and transgender patients.
I dont really like her style but i can see the detail and style she puts into it which i can appreciate.

This is my piece, which helps develop skills we will use in life drawing like drawing, still figures and using mixed media and charcoal drawing.
My Piece and Jet James
This is my piece,
I did this on 27.2.2012, A lot of this is done in the style of Jet James,who's work is in the same style made up in the Calligraphy style, using ink and presses to reflect the pattern like on my plate. Our first seen style of his work was the picture on our print out brief, which depicts a life drawn women in calligraphy style and also i use the same techniques in his style. The correct term for our style of work having low amounts of layers, is low relief
This is my first drawing.
This is my sketchbook drawing which is pose 4, hands.
This is pose 3 feet.
This was pose 2.
we used alot of Da Vincis, life model measurments, one key things by Da Vinci to show this diagram is his piece called Virtuvius. The main techneques we used was, using basic shapes then adding deatil and another in which we used the models head over and over to measure the whole body.
I believe my work has come out well using some of the techniques used above, and i am proud of my work, i believe the detail works well in which i hacve done. It could be improved if i had not rushed the hands and feet, as i struggled on the detail.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo uses a unique way to measure the human figure, his main technique( which we apllied to our own life drawing) Was using the scaling method to try and get each body part precise and realistic, which adds a
great detail and precise drawn techniques. 
The vitruvis
Is Leonardo's diagram to show measure of the human body, the stretched arms refrence to the same distance as your height.
Ben Nicholson
Ben Nicholson's work is made up of different colors, shapes(mainly straight edge and square) to build up some buldoings in a landscape, i chose the picture beneath as it seems to be simualer to what we did for our made sketchbooks and is simple which adds to the little is more effect.
