A2 Power Bull chalk

Part of my A2 level project in 2007-8 with title "Power". My idea was to research the biblical myth of Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz, the primordial lords of earth, sea and air respectively. There being a lot of debate about precisely what creatures they were, I went for "real" ones. (Hey, I would've gone for mythological and had a fething sea serpent for Leviathan but noo, my course was strictly observational.) I picked a South Devon bull belonging to our neighbour for Behemoth, a Harris hawk from a falconry show that came to our village for Ziz, and er, well we didn't have any orcas handy, so they came off the internet for Leviathan. But yeah, please don't debate what creatures I have used; B, L and Z are all mythological anyway, and I did my research and coupled it with a bit of artistic license.
So. These are photos of my artwork, so not as high-quality as a scan would have been, but they've been cleaned up as best I could, which is not very well in the case of the chalk stuff. I got 100% marks for this, pushing my previous B at AS up to an A for the whole A level.

So I tried my hand with chalks, working with the same image I used in Star Boy, and discovered a bit of a knack for them. I got better later, but this was my first, and I was pretty proud of it at the time. I'm afraid the black paper didn't photograph well, so you're left with a kind of icky splodging, but I pretty much didn't do anything smaller than A3, so none of it scans.

Chalks (pretty much like blackboard chalks, blending by hand) on black paper: brown, red, pink, orange, yellow, white, black.
