Other Work Samples for:

Kerry has made informed choices to represent the subject matter of a musical instrument using a variety of colours, patterns and lines. Kerry has demonstrated a high level of competence in using drawing and collage techniques. There is evidence of using the continuation of lines to create movement and flow through out the artwork. The viewer's attention is drawn away from the focal point and the composition lacks balance and connectedness.
