My Mihihi!

Hello my name is Laura Harvey! Since being at Uni i have learnt a lot about myself - I've always thought of my style as 'perfect/ realism', always drawing perfect little realistic pictures. I have learn that i love abstract art, blind drawing, BIG Drawings, charcoal and things looking quite imperfect and unfinished. I love outdoor cafes, Newly discovered Peoples coffee, jane Austen movies and books. I grew up in Northland and was quite content with an awesome family who all now live in quite different places! I am majoring in Fine Arts and am convinced its the place for me! Id love to be an art teacher for little people one day, but open to new things! The journey continues, thank you for being a part of it!

Large Wall i found behind a museum/gallery winners of the 'Adam portraiture Award'

I like the black and white and the bigness of the portraits.

Experiment - My Impression on the BoatShed. I love these images/idea because it reminds me of Street Art.

I love these images because they are an expression of me, including the physical boatshed, my physical self and my art work which i see as a strong expression/impression of me.  Presented as imperfect.

I like how the shadow emphasises the face and the jagged edge.

From this image i got the Idea of a street Art feel in my boat shed. Like a gallery but on the street. 

I love the abstractness of this image and its expression as quite imperfect! And how i feel it represents me. In my final i'd like to have these images on this same wall - kind of like an introduction to my room as the viewer comes down the steps! 

Like the person on the page is looking out!

A combination my inspiration and a section of my room and he boat shed.  

I like the boldness of the charcoal on the bold blue boat shed.

Looking out of the Boatshed.
