Goodbye Shropshire! Hello Cornwall!

So, this will probably be my last post for at least a week, as on Saturday I am going away (ohh, that sounds sinister). No, I just mean I'm going on holiday for a week down Cornwall. Now there is free wireless connection where we are going, but it's only in a certain place, so if I take my laptop with me, and am in this place then I shall try and post some pics, but otherwise, you will just have to wait until I get back!

Works of...children?

So, for this Summer Brief, two of the things we have to research and draw are two children, one aged 8-10 months, and the other aged 5. I've been researching illustrators who draw children, and have found a lot of illustrators do this, but these are just some that have appealed to me, and my work.

How's everyone's summer?

Well, it's been a while since I've made a post, so I just thought I make a post to see how everyone's summer is going. I'm busy working on our Summer Brief. But at the end of August, I'm going on holiday, so it's not all bad!

Yes...I'm a Gleek!!!

I went to see Glee Live! with a friend from uni last week, and I've got to say, they are even better live!

Laura...the cake decorator?

So, lately I've started getting into making and decorating cakes. I quite enjoy doing this, but obviously I'm no expert baker. What do you think?

Well, hello Summertime! (Shame about the weather)

So, this last week, we have had our Summative assessments, these being the IMPORTANT ones of the first year, and so I've been trying to get all my work together and to a presentable standard. If I didn't pass these, I would have to re-do the year again. Luckily though, I PASSED!! Which I am chuffed with, and as of now, I am FREE for the SUMMER!! (Although, we have been given summer work!)

Welcome to the Enchanted Forest...

So, after weeks of stressing over this piece, here is the final product. There have been a few times when I've wanted to throw it out the window, but I stuck to it, and in the end, I am quite pleased with it.

P.S. I am typing this blog on my brand new MacBook Pro, which I am quite excited about (I know, I'm a geek!)
