I started by looking at animals and emotion, focusing on how they emote through facial expressions and body language. I then translated these themes onto foxes as they had become a common through line within my sketchbook. I then shifted my focus onto experimenting with the idea of overlaying multiple images to explore how we perceive animals emotions; this then lead onto the idea of duality within animals and how foxes are perceived (cute, docile, mischievous etc.) verses how they genuinely behave (violent, akin to a vermin etc.). My final solution demonstrates the idea that foxes are more than their stereotypes that are depicted within tv, film and social media.

A twisted tale stemming from the princess and the frog.

I have researched into the relationship between sharks and humans. My aim in this project is to present to the viewer who is the real monster.

I have researched dinosaurs and how our idea of them is constantly evolving as scientists and archaeologists discover more fragments of their history on the planet. For my final outcome I have created an animation of a hatching brontosaurus. I also wanted to link to their extinction with the comet flying through, which is the widespread belief about what caused these giants to become extinct.

My project raises awareness of a deadly virus that affects red squirrels called squirrelpox. Red squirrels affected by this virus develop sores and scabs which leak discharge over time. The virus, when contracted, is serious and is a danger to their population, and the aim of my final outcome was to educate the viewer of the effects of the virus.

I looked at the idea of a horse's journey in the wild west, as I felt it would play nicely into the idea of "what happens to those we love when we're gone". The story focuses on a horse, whose owner is killed in a stand-off, and ultimately runs away, abandoning it's previous life.

Looking at water pollution and how it affects starfish specifically. Throughout my project I explored the ocean and what lies in it. I enjoyed experimenting with colours and textures through different mediums. For my final project my plan is to create a series of images showing the effects of water pollution on starfish, from having one brightly painted colourful piece to one dark, textural and mixed media piece. This sequential image piece below is a screenprinting of a starfish entangled in a black rope, which is slowly being intoxicated by grey polluted water taking over its natural form, colour and texture.
