The Sketchpad

 

This photo montage, another collage technique, is made up from images cut out from several magazines and rearranged for a new look.  

The inspiration for these masks was from Peggy Oppong 's novel, The Masqueraders . This novel likens people hiding their real identities and pretending to be who they are not to the Masqueraders who hide their real identities by wearing tribal masks as they perform at festive occasions . The collage art technique is what I used to create these colourful artworks.

The Sketchpad   proudly presents the pencil drawings of 13 year  Richmond Datiakwah , a promising  young visual artist.

  A mosaic piece inspired by Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights is a novel written by Emily Bronte. This novel is loaded with lots of imagery which creates many opportunities to create visual artworks.  Wuthering Heights This mosaic to the left appropriately represents Wuthering Heights because the novel itself is pieced together or told by different narrators. Also the use of pitch black and dark shades of colour is in line with the dark, moody and grotesque atmosphere at Wuthering Heights Manor which is home to the two main characters Heathcliff and Catharine. Thrushcross Grange Thrushcross Grange pictured to the right, is the home of the Lintons in the nove has a calmer , warmer atmosphere and a greener environment. This is seen in the choice of colours.
