In this session it was first explained to us how to effectively use carbon paper to transfer images onto paper via tracing and also how to use PVA in order to transfer images onto material from paper, by pasting a layer of PVA onto the image and then laying it over the material taking care to force out any airbubbles or imperfections on the surface. Initially I was extremely unhappy to be doing this kind of work as I may aswell be allergic to drawing for all the good I can do with a pencil. This didn't change much when I began working on my image properly, for one I couldn't even trace the image out of a magazine properly, which meant afterwards I wasn't even sure what to do with the image in terms of how I would treat it (bleach it, put it on a pre-made background for example) because I just wasn't happy with how it turned out.

I eventually decided to put the image (printed version on a clear sheet) on a pre-made background I found in class, consisting of a variety of different colours. I didn't try the bleach, however I did attempt to use the PVA in order to transfer my image onto a a piece of material, to see how this would affect the overall appearance, I'll reflect on how successful that was next session when it's fully dried and I can also treat my image with bleach to see what that does. Overall I hated this session and wouldn't consider this particular medium for the future, because quite frankly I just can't successfully perform any form of art without getting incredibly frustrated with it.
