Practice experiments for the exam

Experiment 1: I have created a mix media photograph using the stitching method with thread, coloured paint with symbolises this moment within my child hood and text. This photo was taken when i was at or around about the age of 4. Gathering information from my mum who said i used to enjoy playing with tractors and my room was based around the colours of a tractor, yellow green and my favourite colour blue. I have used this colour paint to capture this moment in time and symbolise the tractors through the photo. The way the sewing is coming from my face/eye and connected to my brother, who i am holding, this is showing that i will always look out for him and always keep an eye on him. This shows the connection that we have together. To capture my age and intelligence within this photo, i decided to add text, like David Fullerton did, i am adding random words which look like a 4 year old has written it. I achieved this affect by using my left hand. I feel that this experiment has been a major success with showing symbolism and a insight within my personal life through the use of paint, thread and text. 

Experiment 2: Within this experiment, it was the same idea as experiment 1. The same symbolism etc but i wanted to see what it would be like if the text was printed. The outcome was that i liked the printed tested stitched onto the photograph but i thought that it didn't go with the feel and the time the photo was taken. I think that the printed text would look better with a present picture so this shows how times have changed and technologies at the same time. For this reason i have decided to use my left hand (child like handwriting) for the first picture, the way i was learnt to write in the second using lined and the third as printed text stitched onto the photograph.
