Sarah Leigh.
Sarah had always drawn and painted out of pleasure, and hoped to make a living out of her art. Her hopes had turned to reality in the year 2000.
Her dog Charlie was seen as a real 'Pub dog', loved by everyone and showed true character. She had decided to do a painting of him.She was hoping it would was £30 to £40, but she would have never expected it to sell for over £200. Since then dozens of orders for pet portaits came in.\
I find her work very inspiring. I love the detail she has put into them, how she makes them look so realistic and gives them character. Their personalities show through her art.

Toshihiro Kawamoto
Toshihiro designed the characters in the Anime series Wolf's Rain. This series greatly inspired my art. I liked the way he designed the wolves, how they look Anime, yet realistic. I found it very interesting how the wolves could disguise themselves as humans. This inspired me to create my own characters which were wolves that could transform into humans whenever they liked. The wolves goal in the series is to find paradise, where the wolves can live in peace. The wolves are not like ordinary wolves, they are seen as demons from hell, they are feared by humans and are close to extinction as they have been hunted throughout their time.
The series can be quite gorey, which makes the series more interesting as it gives the wolves more character.

Dadism. 1916-1923.
Dadism is a cultural movement, this movement began in Zurich, Switzerland. The movement started in 1961, becoming more popular up until 1922.
The Dada movement was mainly an anti-war art movement, it involved visual artists with the themes of literature, poetry, theory, theater and graphic design.
They had a nature that would rebel against politics, making a fool of what was considered meaninglessness of the modern world. The Dadists were interested in a wide range of culture. Artists such as Hugo Ball, Emmy Hennings and Tristan Tzara would have public gatherings, showing demonstrations of their art. On performance in the Cabaret Voltaire it spread to europe and america as a highly influencial art movement.
The Dadists were fed up with war, and how everything seemed to be meaningless, therefore they created a 'non-artistic' movement, considering everything else in the world had no meaning anyway. They rebelled against everything. Some say the word 'Dada' means 'Hobby horse' in french. The group beleived that the word 'Dada' made no sense, therefore they used it.
Using their humor they used everyday objects and basically just wrote a name on the object and called it art. As if they were almost mocking art. Marcel Duchamp became famous for simply drawing a mustache on a copy of the Mona Lisa. He also wrote a fake name on a Urinal naming it 'Fountain', proudly displaying it as his own sculpture.
Dada was made to typically get the reaction of outrage/shock from the viewer, it was very easily noticed and became very popular.
The Dadists did not like the idea of their 'non-art' to become accepted, therefore they 'self-destructed' it.
Tristan Tzara is well known for writing the Dada manifesto, He wrote about how the word Dada is basically meaningless, like the War, and how War was basically made from boredom of the human race.
The four main types of art that the dadaists used were; Abstraction, Expressionism, Cubism, and Futurism. Their only rule was to not follow any known rules.
I think the Dadists were right about War, it was created because of boredom, and it was completely pointless, hundreds of people dying to fight for a country for no reason.
I like how they graffited on the Mona Lisa, to make people laugh, it slightly reminds me of my own work, I use human clothes and hairstyles and collage them onto pictures of my pets for the humor of it.
Work by Hannah hooch. i don't really like this piece as it is just lots of pictures mashed together, like a collage, Collage's don't interest me as I find them boring.

Analyse the requirements and parameters of a time-based problem in art and design.
When in the dark room I processed the photographs correctly, although when placing them in the water the photographs went too dark therefore I used the SD card from the camera in able to use my narrative photography on the computer.
Researching artists helped towards my Narrative photography, because it gave me idea's and inspired me because of how creative the artists photographs were.
I think the photographs on the digital camera worked better than the film camera photographs.
When taking panoramic photographs I liked how I could blend the photo's together into one, it gave the photograph movement. I used light and dark effects to bring the contrast out in the photo's. looking up at buildings and taking photo's from high and low viewpoints made the photo's more interesting to look at, rather than looking at the building straight on.
I think the effects worked well as they make the photo's stand out.
