lambeth roundabout was at a stand still when a helicopter landed in the middle. All the buses stopped and everyone gathered round to wait for the helicopter to fly off. Especially amazing as I was on my way to the war museum to draw helicopters and airplanes.

Group Project

Christopher Lloyd/ Micheal J Fox, Back to the Future.




For our publish project, as well as individual work, we were put into groups of 5/6 to do the same breif to publish something that had a content and was available for distrubition.
As a group we decided we wanted to do a colouring in book, we changed our minds of the content quite alot then stuck on making colouring in postcards printed on card paper. We then chose a theme of films then specified it to comedy characters. We all chose 5 characters each of a comedy genre film.

Hummingbirds are like helicopters ,other birds are like aeroplanes.


















Fact: Humingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards.









here are some examples of my sketchbook drawings for the Fact project. I got a few books out of camberwell and st martins library on hummingbirds and the atonomy of birds. These were very useful to find out the facts specifically on hummingbirds and give me good research to create and develop ideas.
