The Keith Haring Project is “Do what makes you happy” Simplified shapes of people doing what they love. Bold colours in keeping with the Haring theme.
For my own tile, I decided to paint the character from my favourite video game. His name is Crash Bandicoot.

Katsushika Hokusai
Save Our Seas Project
The Katsushika Hokusai Save Our Seas Project was a reaction to watching “A Plastic Ocean”, which is a movie documentary on Netflix.
The use of mainly plastic and tissue is to highlight how much of our rubbish ends up in our seas and oceans thus destroying the sea life.

The CDETB Art Students worked on a project called “Giant Wings – Express Yourself”. Several paintings were completed by the group in order to experience using Acrylics. The paintings were later photocopied and cut into paper feathers and collaged together to create life size angel wings. Selfies were encouraged as each participant instantly became an angel.
Colour and texture were the main focus of the paintings with a view to creating intuitive pieces which were inspiring and sensual. Expressive paintings become paper feathers on paper wings to encourage us to spread our wings and see how far we can fly.
