Our exhibition for the People and Characters unit within our module was a collaborative exercise, and I worked in a group of 6 including myself.
In my group were:
Emma Barnes
Callum Griffiths
Thomas Williams
Tom Lewis
Sean Miller
We had a really large space of wall to fill and so we needed a substantial piece to cover the walls. Because the exhibition was SUPPOSED to be based on the people within Hartlepool, we decided to go with a sea theme, featuring a power plant and landfill area polluting the sea. Towards the left of our panel we planned a fisherman sat on a pier, fishing out bottles containing characters of present and past times from Hartlepool.

We used a variety of different mediums in this mural. The sea was a mix of acrylic paints, and the acid cloud was watercolour and ink. The sky was done with soft pastels, and I used a few different grades of pencils to shade the fisherman. We also hung monoprints of bottled characters a long the pier which gave our colleague Alan a way to thread our works in together by using his string to make it look as though they were hanging properly!
