Adam Davenport - Snake.
For my 'Shakespeare's Animals' project, I decided too choose the snake. The reason behind this choice was because of my knowledge of Shakespeare quotes that represent the snake in a vicious way. I started with research into the anatomy, environment, logos, artists that influence me and certain styles of snake designs. I went onto researching into Tattoo styled work on snakes, that went onto linking too symbolism as my main visual research.
Whilst this research was going on, I was continuing with drawings of the snake that later on went onto being my final piece. I was drawing/experimenting in different styles that influenced me in my studies including ; Op Art, Tattoo, Symbolism, Continuous Line, Monochromatic, 3D Modelling and Pop Art. I will now show you some of the examples of my drawings, experiments and final piece.

| Lino Print - Here I have one of five Lino prints that came out the best. I chose to re-print these five more times to sell in the end of year show. |
 |
| Photoshop Airbrush - This experiment was influenced through my first initial drawing of the snake that I wanted to develop further. However, this becomes a useful experiment because the technique is used for the final piece. |
 |
| Pop Art experiment - In the opening statement I mentioned that I was drawing/experimenting in different styles. This was a mixture of three; Pop Art, Monochromatic and Airbrush. |
 |
| Final Piece - This piece was a development from my experiment of Pop Art style, inspired by Andy Warhol. I then had a idea of the snake biting into a can of drink, this drink was later called 'Snakebite'. |

| My Dog Sighs - #FreeArtFriday. This was the experiment that I chose to do during our workshop with My Dog Sighs. |
