3D art

these 3 pictures i found on google image. to me they show the colours of africa well, strong shades of yellows and oranges which are like the land, and the blue green and red are the colourfull people, it is all outlined like you would see a map of Africa split into diffrent countries




Seydou Ketia 1958 african photographer, showing the fashionable patterns of the time.BLACK (and WHITE ?) = the people
GOLD = the resources (gold, diamonds and other riches)
GREEN = the land (animals, nature, etc..)
RED and BLUE = For the colors of the Dutch flag,the Dutch settlers being the first white inhabitants of SA
Collours of africa are strong, bold and outlined with black. patterns are simple but rich
out of Africa.

I like this tile, and its patterns, it reminds me of the seed pods i have drawn

Identity travel
sections, places that ment something to me. Places which stay in my memory i would have as follows; Heathrow airport, busy Delhi, the train station, dangerous Haldwani, and the last place Heridakahn (which has many diffrent spellings) a serene enviroment, where you work pray and relax.
each diffrent place has a diffrent feeling. Each place is a key stone of my journey.
i have decided to look at each place in turn, exploring emotions, memories, thoughts, sights and smells. I began by looking backwards, from the mountians and river in heridakahn, and at the moment am exploring water. Water is free moving, movement is important as i am looking at travel. This poem seemd to fit my idea of water well by Berned Howe:
Late on a cool fall nightwhile sitting by the rivers edgeI noticed how the ripples cast a different texture to the setting sunThe colors of the skyjust right for this seasonRed, orange, yellow, purple even a tinge of blueThe river seems to mix themlike a kaleidoscope Seems there is no end to beautyas this endless array goes on and onThen the distant sound of the frogs and cricketskeeping time to this dancing spectacularThen my heart goes quiet my pulse slows downI lay back to thank my maker
