Gwithian Trip to the Beach. 23rd Sept

Today was a team art session! on wednesday we where told what we needed to do and where put into are groups to get ready for the next day are task when we went to the beach was to create an image using the beach as are canvsis. this ment we could do anything within are time limit which was 6 hours. 

So are group gatherd around outside and discused what ideas we all thought and i sugested Banksy because i thought it was a realistic artist to do on the beach with the amount of time we had and i thought the contrast of an anceint beach and a very modern and controvertal artist would look fantastic from the cliffs. so we went to the liberay and had a look through the bansky books to find out what image to do and what would look good on the beach, we all decided rather quickly that girl with the heart balloon would be the best object and look best as if she was flying from the cliffs. 

When we got to the beach we had a long walk looking for the perfect area, then we started to scale a rectangle for are image and then me and sophie drew out the whole figure as the others started to DIG! Are group did a completly differant method to everyone else, everyone was just drawing into the sand which did not had alot of depth to it, but we dag deep trenches all over and built up sand and used alot of HARD LAYBOUR! then after i drew the out lines for the image i was incharge of the balloon which i had to build up to about a foot high which is alarge amount of sand!! then i flatend the sand and i had sneakily brought my spray paint becuase i wanted to make the balloon red like banksy, so i sprayed the balloon to give it a really amazing feel to the image. 

This taksed really helped with my team work and i learn that i'm beter leading and giving instructions than be told what to do. i also really improved my scale drawing because we really had to make it a large image for it to stand out so we even had poeple on the cliffs telling us what to do at times which helped. but was a truly enormous image! We also learnt not to get too attached to are image! :( because about 30mins after we had finished the sea had stolen it way from us!
