J'adore.

This is my latest project, the aim, is to create a project about a celebrity or a family member who you adore, i have chosen Michael Jackson. The reason being is the fact that i have grown up surrounded by a family who loves him, i am very pleased i chose him for my project, as he is such an exciting character and has so much history in his life which i could involve in my project.

This piece is am image of Michael Jackson as a young boy. To do this piece i have used image maker. Throughout this project, i have used image maker quite a lot, and i have grow to really like the technique. i first tried it in an earlier project and didn't seem to fond of it as you need to use the right technique in removing the paper from the fabric. i plan to use this a lot more though my project.

This piece is a little like image maker, however instead i used emulsion, the reason being is, as you can see, the image doesn't come out as perfect as the image maker does. However i really like this effect as it is again, a picture of Michael as a child, so now the image looks like it has been through a lot and has turned out to be very 'tacky' and 'old'.

This image i have drawn out in my sketch book, it is an image of Michael singing on stage as a child. i have done this image with pencil and charcoal, which are both involved in my specialty in this project, which is Mixed Media. This image i am very tempted to use it in my final piece. However, further development is needed.

This is the development i produced from the black and white image above, i was seriously considering using this image for my final piece.

This is one of my most recent images from my project, as i am moving throughout his life in my project i have now moved on to the 'Thriller' time of life. I have simply used pencil for this image, i really like the final result, however, i think i could do better and i also think i could develop it further.

This are two of the dry points that i produced, i really enjoyed doing this, as i really liked the way the results turned out. i was considering doing more of them and making a final piece, but my speciality in this project was drawing, painting and mixed media. So i decided to just use it as developments through my project.

These images are A4 pieces cut into half and have been made into a mini flip book of Michael Jackson's features, his nose and his mouth, the flip book is so you can see the differences he made to himself, and the next couple of images will show how different he was throughout his life.

For example, the image of the nose is Michael at his young age and the shape and color nose he had, the lips for instance are the lips he had when he was older, just before he died.

And on this image, shows the nose he had when he was older and the lips he had when he was younger.

Some of the changes he had done i used them and put them on a big chart like piece to show the difference together. By doing all of this development, i noticed that the main thing i had concentrated on throughout my project was the changes throughout Michael Jackson's life. I had done when he was a child, to when he grew a little more and before he died. So i decided to focus my final piece on the physical changes of him.

To this project, this was my final piece and this is how it turned out, it was drawn and painted on a canvas which i stretched myself, i don't think its the best work i have ever done, but i am happy with the way it perfectly fits into my project and i think it is a good enough outcome, it makes sense. Over all i am happy with my project and i really enjoyed doing it as i am a huge fan of Michael Jackson.
