Cecil Collins

Title - Head
Date made - 1974
Medium - lithograph on paper
My opinion - I like the detail in this piece of work but over all I don't really like it I think it looks to simple and doesn't strike me in any way

Paul Nash

Title - totes meer (dead sea in German )
Painted between- 1940-1941
Medium - oil on canvas
My opinion
I really like this piece by Nash I think the title is very striking. I really like the detail of the parts of plane's floating about in the sea, I also like how he has painted the sea looking very wild and destructive. I think he has done this to show how wild and destructive war is.

I really like this print because of the colour scheme and how bright and vibrant it is. I also like it because it is very realistic and looks exactly like Micheal Jackson

I took a picture of the shed because I really like how old and worn it looked it makes it a lot more interesting, another interesting part of the shed is the moth on the roof and the faded and chipped paint over it.  











  I took this photograph because I liked how much detail the statue of the woman but I also like the ware that has happened over the years it has been there. I like the different colours on it and some of the cracking on it from weather damage.i also like the background in this picture of the plants and trees and also a small part of the lake.

















I choose to take a photograph of the plant pot because i like how worn it looks and how interesting it is 


I like this photograph because the angle the lid is sitting 











































 I like these photographs of this building. i think the style of the building is very nice. I also think where the tree is placed is very good. I also decided to draw this building to
