I feel pretty stuck on what to focus on when it comes to my project. I don’t really know what I truly want to show. I decided to look into the actually history of the buildings.
I found a old sketch of the Royal Bank of Scotland building located on St. Andrews Square. That building was the first building to be built there, due to overcrowding in the Old Town. I then included the Bus Station that is also located in St. Andrews Square and then the row of shut down businesses in Leith Walk. I wanted to show new development in away and how Edinburgh has been a city that has constantly developed. This can be a positive thing, like for the Bus Station which is always busy and the bank, but also a negative, like for the independent businesses that where shut down due to that.
I’m not entirely sure if the message came across, but I definitely want to delve deeper.
The next two pieces are all mainly experimental, with little meaning. I mainly focus on practising with layering and changes the colours of the pictures. I really like working with layering.
The fourth is also a sketch from the building of St.Andrews Square when new development first happened. The main focus of that piece of the layering of multiple shapes and then I decrease the occupancy. I really like effect and the effective it can give.
