Famous Urban and Rural Structures!

 

Urban Structures...

 

I like the Eiffel tower because its very unique and its the symbol of France. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; 7.1 million people ascended it in 2011. The third level observatory's upper platform is at 279.11 m the highest accessible to public in the European Union and the highest in Europe as long as the platform of the Ostankino Tower, at 360 m, remains closed as a result of the fire of August 2000. The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.

 

 

I like the Big Ben because its part of England and a very important part of London. Its officially named the Elizabeth Tower, as well. The Elizabeth Tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower. It celebrated its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place. The tower was completed in 1858.

 

Rural Structures...

 

 

I like the Angel Falls because its the highest waterfall in the world. The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State. The height figure 979 m (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 m (0.25 mi) of sloped cascades and rapids below the drop and a 30-metre (98 ft) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids.

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower, officially named the Elizabeth Tower, as well. Elizabeth Tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower. It celebrated its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place. The tower was completed in 1858 and has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.

 



Angel Falls is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State. The height figure 979 m (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 m (0.25 mi) of sloped cascades and rapids below the drop and a 30-metre (98 ft) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids.

 

Mount Everest is the Earth's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level and the 5th tallest mountain measured from the centre of the Earth. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. The international border between China and Nepal runs across the precise summit point. In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of British India established the first published height of Everest, then known as Peak XV, at 29,002 ft (8,840 m). In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. Waugh named the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest. Although Tibetans had called Everest "Chomolungma" for centuries, Waugh was unaware of this because Nepal and Tibet were closed to foreigners.

 

 

My Development!

My Development!

 

I have researched two artists, they are 'Stik' and 'Return to Fleet', and I will include these in my final poster to add effect and make it  better than it originally going to be. I have also researched the different images to see how they actually do the images.

My Idea Progress!

My Idea Progress!

 

In my initial idea I had the minors as normal people but I've developed it to look like the people from the artist 'Stik'. I have done this so I use one of my artists in my final poster and I will  draw them myself using the Graphics's Tablet. It should look good. I also have used my other artist to make the frenchgate look very animated.

My 4 Mini Projects...

My 4 mini projects...

 

 

In the last couple of weeks I have been chosen 4 different mini projects to do and these must be linked to my artist's Stik and Return to fleet. In my first mini project I got a image of the Flying Scotsman and a image of a Stik drawing. I had to draw on Stik drawing myself, when I used my mouse it didn't work properly so the solve this problem I used the Graphics Tablet. Using this it worked and I draw my Stik person sat next to the real one. 

 

In my second mini project I got a image of the Frenchgate and using the filter gallery I changed it to look like the graffiti from Return To Fleet and then I coloured the sky in green and I put in a cloud and a sun.

 

For my third mini project I got a picture of me and I split it into four and I used different styles of graffiti. It looked quite good but it was quite hard choosing the right ones so I got my partner to help.  

 

For my last mini project I got a image of the countryside and a image of a toy flying Scotsman and I used the Graffic's Tablet to draw railway tracks to fit with the train.  I also put in purple grass for effect and I used Glowing Edges to the house to add effect at the op of the picture.

 

These four mini projects are what I have been lately and I think they look really good and I have used my different graffiti artist in my work.

My Second Artist...

My Second Artist...

 

My second artist are 'Return To Fleet' and they do the type of Graffiti art called 'Geekfiti Street Art'. I like this artist because they show unrealistic images look real, for example theres Yoda and Hulk. This type of graffiti would be good in my design because I could use the graffiti on the different industries on the train, or the train its self.
