Mrs Khan, our art teacher, asked the class to go home and draw a plant in pastels. She then divided us into groups of 4. Our group combined all our leaf pictures then assigned each person, an area of the poster sized picture to draw, colour and paint. We had 3 different sized leaves for the foreground, background and centre of the picture. We coloured and painted it with pastels, paints and colour pencils. We also stuck on some animal pictures to make it jungle-like.

Traditional clock mechanims make up this painting. It is based on observation of the parts of clocks and seen through my study of the cubist painter, Juan Gris who fragmented the topic of his painting into echoing shapes and used rich colour patterns to create new visual harmony that was visually loosely akin to the topic.

A cubist piece based on the works of Georges Braque and Marcel Duchamp. The background inspired by Duchamp's work with movement, depicts the motion of the carpenters hammer striking a nail. The main focus is the geometrical element of a hammer-head and how it is affected by light. A collage of clippings from different articles forms the carpenters newspaper and implies his keeping up with current happenings while also paying tribute to Braque.
