Alexander McQueen + Georgia O’Keeffe + Andy Goldsworthy = …me?

For my GCSE art coursework I have decided to study and produce work inspired by Alexander McQueen. 

For this, I’ve decided to combine previous work on Andy Goldsworthy’s ice sculpture, Georgia O’Keeffe’s abstract painting and my own photography work on fungi.

Combining these three in the order of the photos above, I came up with this sketch, which I will obviously develop much further…

Let me know what you think of it so far!

PS: Thanks to my art teacher for letting me go ahead with this Alexander McQueen idea. Oh I just mentioned “other artists”? Oh you didn’t know I’d be doing a “FASHION designer”? Urrrm well yeah about that…

Art isn’t a total doss!

I know a few people think that art is a “doss” class, one where students can just mess around and do nothing. Which I guess is kind of true, since it’s a very relaxed and free subject. For GCSE Art, you have set topics and you choose how much work to produce within guidelines. But Art is NOT just a subject I chose because I thought it would be easy! I want to do fashion design or journalism when I leave High School, so I work pretty hard at my coursework! Yeah it takes up a lot of time, but if you’re thinking of studying it and you enjoy being creative and thinking of new ways to express yourself, I totally recommend GCSE Art.

Here are some photos of some of my coursework which I have produced since September 2010…

Please comment, I really want to know what people think of my work, good or bad!
