This was the first piece of A2 coursework. It is based upon the Hockney joiner style and is of my own bedroom, making the composition and colours relevant and representative of me. I used lighter colurs such as acid greens and yellows for the lighter areas, and the blues and purples for the darker, I used this contrast to high-light the extremes of the colour spectrum and to define the possessions which are important to me and my daily life. This was my first attempt at batik, and I found that I enjoyed the technique as the colours blended easily and the vibrancy that the inks gave.
