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.
