Hello Everyone!!
I'm sure you've guessed from the title and the fact that I've posted this that BLANK KANVAS IS BACK!
 |
| I took this on my Canon DSLR 1200D at Sky Gardens in London. This was a great photography day out! I'll blog about it to show more photos and I am definitely going back!! |
I had to put the blog on hold while I sorted my life out, haha! But all is going well! I worked hard and passed my A levels with an A in Art (Wahoo!). I also had to apply to art college. After working on my portfolio and going to many interviews, I was accepted into University of the Arts London and I am now studying an Art and Design Foundation Diploma at Camberwell College of Arts. (Wow all of that sounds so official - in a nutshell I now go to art college).
So, there is a lot to catch up on and its all very exciting!
I thought for todays post I'd like to reintroduce myself because it has been so long and I feel like it will be nice to start again. So here goes......
Hello everyone, My name is Katherine and I am the writer and creator of the blog Blank Kanvas. I am an art college student and I have recently specialised in 3D Design: Theatre, Screen and Performance. Art is my life and I know it sounds cheesy but it is very true! Look around you, everything has been designed, everything is art. Isn't that exciting?!
 |
| Here is an outdoor installation I created in A level. With everything going on I never got a chance to blog about it. Better late that never right?! |
Don't worry I'm not going to change the existing format of the blog too much but I have got so many new ideas!
Here's a little taster of what's to come!..
- My First week at art college
 |
| This is my favourite photo I took of a sculpture we created in the first week of art college. Can't wait to blog about this! |
- Explaining the different pathways in art
 |
| As brilliant as Painting and drawing are there is a huge world of art out there. This is a section of a 3D piece I worked on a few weeks ago. |
- DIY room decoration
- Gallery visits (because you can never have enough!) and I'm hoping to collaborate with other bloggers!
 |
| I have been going to so many galleries so I have a lot to tell you about! In this photo is the lovely Isabel (aka Izzie the illustrator) She is absolutely brilliant and we have so many plans for collaborations, so watch this space! (I'll put a link to her blog at the end) |
- Photography days out
- Experimenting with new and different materials in art
 |
| Here is a little experiment using textures. |
 |
| One of my favourite weeks at college. We made the wall in to our sketchbook, anything we made went on the wall. I loved this project and will definitely blog about it soon! |
-
Experimenting with baking and cooking (I'm not a pro but this way, I can make the mistakes so you can keep your kitchen clean when you have a go! haha!)
- Drawing in public
- Life drawing
 |
| Sorry about the nudity (you can scroll past if you want haha) this is a few 10 minute paintings I did in a life drawing course. Life drawing is a brilliant way to improve your observational drawing skill, once you get past the naked people fact... |
- Explaining my specialism
 |
| This is the first ever maquette I made in my specialism of design for stage and screen. I am hoping to one day go into model making. This project was all about developing characters. I learnt so much and will definitely pass on my knowledge to you in a blog post! |
- Looking back at old A Level work (advice)
 |
| Here one of the pages from my old A level sketchbook. Oooo it will be wired looking back and seeing how far I've come! |
- AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!
So there you go! I'm back in action!
If you are reading this now then thank you so much for sticking with me! The future is very exciting and I can't wait to share all this creativity with you!
As always Blank Kanvas has been about inspiring creativity between all of us. I'm still only learning and so we can go on this creative adventure together!!
Here's a link to the wonderful Isabel's blog https://izzietheillustrator.wordpress.com/
Thanks again!
I hope you have an absolutely brilliant day!
