I had originally intended on attempting to repair the violin, but concluded ultimately that it wasn't worth it. In my A1 studies I dissected its form and tried not to be too precious about it.

In contrast to the flat, matte images, an observational study from a live, 3D object is much harder yet produces more vivid results as you are no longer stuck to the confines of an image. Bringing the object into real-life gives the artist more freedom to exaggerate form and obscure what they see, rather than producing a piece similar or as exact as a picture. I think for the uninitiated, the point of creating work is to make it hyper-realistic-however it is much more interesting to me to make something more abstract.

I knew that later on in the course I would reference the violin frequently because I am a violinist and it has a personal link to me. So I took the opportunity to become more familiar with the form of it, By the end of my studies, I was very pleased with how I was grasping form on a large scale, and being able to enhance this using shading
