This piece is a sample of one of my project ideas. I wanted to look at the importance of animals on health. My influences were mainly Pop artists as I like the colourful techniques they had. I was going to also develop this idea to produce a reduced lino print, a drypoint print and a photo shopped piece. I am progressing to Level 2 Design and Photography in September.

What have I learnt from this course?

During the course I have learned to think of ideas and to do little samples to see which one is the best one. This year has also given me a chance to learn a lot of new techniques, such as Photoshop, printmaking and different ways of painting. It has made me realise that these can help with other subjects. For example, printmaking is important for Photography as it can give you the opportunity to produce really different pieces of work and be versatile and creative.

What is my advice for anyone joining the course?​
