My final artist that i have choosen to look at is Claire Rollet what strikes me about her work is the almost contrast colours that she has used for her work, we see the simple but inproportion drawing of the arc de triomphe, she then uses these the contrasting colours to emphisise the peice.

Norman Cornish is the fourth artist i have choosen to look at what i find appealing about his work is its simplicity yet selective use of colour showing the three miners off to the pit.
 

The next artist i have selected is one i discovered last year whilst in illustration , Lucinda Rogers i found her work to stand out from the rest s the selective use of colour in her illustrations. In the peice below we see minimal use of colour to highlight certain building's roofs, what intrests me about this is how it takes away your focus from perhaps the more noteable buildings in the illustration such as the church as whit out the addition of colour that would be the aspect to stand out the most.

The second Artist i have chosen to look at is Stanley Wood who illustrated during the first world war.
My reasoning for choosing this image is i feel it gives a sence of "glory" and is more of a propaganda piece rather than a accurate illustration showing the horrors of the first world war as the soldiers charge in no man's land. Allthough this could be seen in a negative way to 'cover up' the truth i feel it was done in this way to keep up morale.

Our second task in theory is to look at six artist that appeal to me; the first of these i have chosen is a artist i have admired for some time, Paul Trevillion who i discoverd whilst reading the daily mail where he occasionly does illustrations of certain sporting icons shuch as Rooney or Andy Murray. I find his work interesting as i fell he gets the right balance between Cartoon and a Portrait which is shown in his detailed peices in the Book "You are the Ref". We see how light is applied to the face which isnt usally the case when we think of comic strips.

Petr Cech by Paul Trevillion

For my first session of Theory involves looking at several artistis the  first of these that i have chosen to look at is Laura Carlin


What i like about  this peice is we see illustrations on a less traditional surface , ceramics. The content seems to be a cityscape what appears to be of a 19th centuary citty i can tell this how the artist has included horses in between the buildings and also the large chimneys showing the industrial theme which could relate to it been on ceramics.
