Here I used to draw and create some design related to Greek mythology - HYDRA.                            
           
                     

SEEKING INSPIRATION IN HYDRA

I bought in a charity shop in ceramic dish and decorate using the technique of collage with colored tape on it. I used blue and black tape, and after many attempts to draft and design on cardstock paper and piece of white acrylic, taking advantage of body and head movement of Hydra. I created a drawing related to it. All with the goal of seeking inspiration, our teachers lead us to know and visit museums and galleries, parks in the city of Bury St. Edmunds among other cities, were also at the cemetery in Bury, search images and rubbing wax pencil and graphite on top of bond paper and found beautiful effects.
I'm finding all this very interesting, I love to do, because I find that very nature and everything around us has many inspirations.

CARVING OF DESIGN ON TABLETS

 I did carving on tablets and after put ink colored and a finished with gold spray, take out excess of spray with same old fabric.

 Though the study of Greek mythology, we learn to make pottery and carving. We use a cement stone as a template, and skirted with clay, took the stone, then we have the mold. We used dentist plaster, mixed with warm water, we made a necessary quantity of dough to the size of the mold, a plastic bowl and swirl cream until throughly homogeneous, fill the mold halfway, put a wire mesh, previously cut according to size mold, then put the remaining dough on top, and then dry quickly took the shape of the ceramic mold. Let dry for a week and have a white tablet. Before you begin carving leave this board for about 1 minute inside a container with water and draw something referring what we choose to study in Greek mythology.

HYDRA

Represents our inner bad, our passions and faults, vices and ambitions, what is bad within our inner world. While the hydra, which represents the monster within, is not dominated, while our vanity, vanities and glitter are dominated, heads continue to grow increasingly.

GREEK ART

The Greeks were excellent sculptors, it sought to portray the human body to perfection muscles, clothing, feelings and expressions were portrayed by Greek sculptors. The visual arts of Ancient Greece have profundly influenced Roman and Renaissance art.

UNDERSTANDING GREEK MYTHOLOGY

The ancient Greeks saw life in almost everything around them, and sought explanations for everything in their fertile imaginations and created several characters and mythological figures, these heroes, gods, nymphs,m titans and centaurs influenced in their lives. The Greeks consulted a kind of priestess, it was an important character in the context to know about the future. The Python always sought explanations for some mythological events, and please a divinity was critical to get good results in material life. A trader for example, should leave the god Hermes pleased to get good results in their work. (NOTE: This happens even today in some countries, many people also refer someone understood the subject to know something about its future).
