Throughout my project I intend to experiment with a range of mediums. I would like to experiment and learn how to use at least one new medium as well as working on my art skills in different styles and using different methods.

I then placed a piece of paper onto the patterns then lifting the paper off to reveal the pattern that has now been printed onto the paper. I repeated this process numerous times to create a range of different patterns and pieces. After all the paper was dry I picked the pieces that I thought worked best an put them in sets to be mounted to display in my exhibition.
