By Max, Year 9

My artwork is composed of straight photography and contemporary drawing.

I have collected and collaged photos all with personal meaning. My base layer is filled with album covers of my favourite artist, as music is a big part of my life. On my second layer, I included family pictures, pictures of my favourite things, rugby, gym, motocross and so on. I also included pictures of my grandfather who recently passed away. At the bottom of my piece there is a cut-out image of a sunrise in the shape of my self-portrait. Sunrises are important to me as I find them very calming in my chaotic mornings. My third layer contains my contemporary drawing. These drawings have no meaning to me, but they do add character to the piece. Overall, I am proud of how my work has turned out.
