Linda Young

Above: Linda worked from the architecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh for her final assessment piece, a zigzag format book. Here you can see how Linda has taken advantage of the double sided format and worked on both sides with a range of techniques and media.

Left: A rubbing with a wash was combined with collage for this page. Above: One of the initial

pages that Linda created of source material for her project.

Left and right: More pages from the book which involve the use of printing drawing and bleaching.

Above left and right: Close ups of some of the pages. The architectural source lent itself to grid structured presentation.

Below: Linda's first assessment project was a sketchbook inspired by a walk in the woods.

Above: The yellow marker arrows that guide walkers along the path were a logical motif to continue through the book. Above right: A collection of photographs taken to inspire later work.
Right: This page uses collage and cut edges with soft pastel stencilling.

Left: Linda selected some photos to work with in more detail. Here she has continued to draw the lines in the photo onto the background page.

Right: This vibrant frog was the subject of a colour study that led to a colour scheme for a set of painted papers.

Surrounding images: One of Linda's preferred techniques was collage. Here she combines a range of her own hand painted papers.

Left: This glass vase was the ideal inspiration for a page on glue drawing, right.

Below: A selection of Linda's monoprints

Left: Tracing from a source led to this exciting printed design, above, which has some cut out sections to reveal the page beneath.

Below: More of Linda's prints and collaged pages.
