OBSERVATION AND REPRESENTATION - WEEK 4

My next step was that I wanted to do some drawing of the park, this was because I wanted to show how nice the park can be and all of the small details that are hidden away almost as if they are trying to protect themselves from the people and pollution.

For a key part that I would like to focus on as a part of my story is pollution, and how it is impacting the park, I went around again and explored all of the additional pollution and vandalism around and found lots of litter especially in the river's water, I thought this was a really good idea that I can use for my work, I felt it was something that would also be useful to help and introduce my ''Villian'' who would be roaming around and getting his revenge on the people who are in the park now because of all the pollution.

I took one of the figures from the Salford art museum and drew him in my own style I then gave him an axe as I thought this would make him seem more like the villain of the park and gives him something he can use to enact his revenge on people. I took this drawing into Photoshop and then edited him into a variety of different places such as one of Michal swinging in a tree and the branch is then chopped off as I thought this would be an interesting way to show him interacting with people.

I felt that to make this character feel more like he has been in the park for many many years hidden, this sign that was in the park with photos of the park from the 1800s onward, I edited my ''villian'' character into them and had him hidden behind the trees, in the crown of people and just overall wandering around the park. This fleshes out the story more making it feel less forced and incorporates him into the history of the park.

Finally, I wanted to make the Pollution aspect of the story feel completed as after the villain has gone around and got his revenge from all of the pollutions the park finally begins to heal, I showed this by taking the polluted river that was full of rubbish and taking these images into photoshop, incorporating the fish sculpture from the gallery I took my drawing of this and then placed it repeatedly into the water as a school of fish. Then created a newspaper article for the fish returning to the water to show the positive impact of the actions the ''villian'' took.
