Exhibition Review
We all had a chance to put a pice of our work into the peacock gallery this year. There were some amazing pieces from cardboard pictures to toy dresses. My favourite thing in the exhibition was the sculpture of a dog made entirely from tea bags. I liked it because it was so original, and a great way to recycle old tea bags! Also the shape of the dog was perfect, they really captured the animal. I really liked the exhibition because it was really colourful and there was so much to look at. One thing that wasn't so good was there was so much work that there was hardly any room to move around and it felt like you could easily knock something over or break something, but overall the exhibition was a great success! :)

Final Piece Evaluation
Final Piece
My final piece was a portrait of tine tempah made out of an old tape and cardboard.
I was inspired by the music video to bruno Mars's song 'Just The Way You Are'. I then researched other artists that used old tape to make pictures out of, there were loads one i came across was Jim Morrison.
I made my final outcome by firstly finding a picture of tinie tempah, then drawing it onto a piece of card, by a much bigger scale. I then experimented what type of glue was most suitable for sticking the tape. I chose pritt stick because the glue gun was too hot and melted the tape, pva was okay but pritt stick is easier to use. I then just taped over my drawing.
Instead of using A3 paper, which i asked for originally, i used recycled cardboard to keep in with the recycled theme. I am pleased that i used cardboard in the end because it looks more recycled and it is also a stronger material to work with.
I am most pleased with the hands as they really stand out and have all the detail from the picture. I am not that pleased with the overall out come because i don't think you can recognise who it is, even if you know what he looks like. I could improve all of it, as i think it all looks quite messy and i could have spent more time on it.
This is an example of work that I found. It is a tape portrait of Bob Dylan. This picture uses the tape in the picture. I had to consider whether to incorporate the tape into the piece or not and if so where should I put it? I decided to put it in the bottom left corner because most artists have it in the centre at the bottom, so i wanted to be a bit different.
