A2 Exam Coursework - Mark Powell

I came across the artist Mark Powell while researching artists for my exam question 'Found Objects'. Mark Powell often focuses on the older generations and takes part in creating portraits using pen and ink: often drawing these faces on old and used postcards/envelopes. I took this idea and created my own through taking a picture of a relative and using a biro on an old and used envelope to mimic Mark Powel’s Interesting idea. I found the use of older people more interesting because of all the creases and wrinkles on their face, it made the image look so much more fascinating and exciting.
