This is a post on Redwhite, by Moira Zahra which includes a video of Fine Arts Degree work related to digital applications together with work made by Degree Graphic Design students.

In the meantime I have attached the actual video of my part in the Assignment title which we had between three students, and divided it so that we could take a word each and work on it. Then we had to put them together again making Prevent , Provoke, Parade one whole piece of digital artwork. This was then linked with another assignment that had to do with traditional media.

Combining the old with the modern

 

The drawings have been drawn from older photos of places and houses in Valletta and then photomontaged on photos that I took personally.

1902: Introduction

From the children's illustrations of Iljunfant Fotografu (Elephant the photographer).

Well! This is my first time that I'm writing on a blog, but I'll pretend that it is a blank canvas that I have to fill with creative ideas, thoughts, imagination and a world of fantasy that comes out of my mind, blop! onto this blog. I think it's best to explain what I've been doing long before I started writing here. What best describes me is illustration. I draw for children's books. These books will be used for stage readers aged from seven to nine years. It is a great challenge as I have to deal with time and with my Degree, as I'm reading for a B.A in Fine Arts. (Of course,) we start an assignment, finish, and start with another one. We basically don't have enough time for some pastime, however I try to make a pastime out of my assignments as this is a course that I've always been dreaming of doing (and finishing!).


Because I like illustration, I decided to specialise and study illustration and its history. This, I'll be doing in my dissertation. Despite the fact that all my assignments are different (digital, traditional and professional practice), I'm trying to use illustration as best as I can also to help in my thesis.
