For the Shakespeare project I decided to research tigers as I find them really interesting and mysterious. The quotes from Shakespeare's work that inspired me were first 'The tiger was generally considered the personification of remorseless cruelty' and second 'Even the rudest and the most heraldic of a tiger must have had stripes not spots'. During my research I looked at how tigers hunt and especially how they pounce. I discovered that tigers are extremely powerful animals, the largest of the cat family and very distinctive due to their stripes. Because of this they are the perfect killing machine and I decided to run with this description for inspiration for my final outcome.
I was attempting to capture the powerful roar of a tiger with this drawing
I created a lino print from the first image and printed it successfully
Stripes are one of the most identifying characteristics of a tiger, so I experimented with just painting the stripes
I started looking at how tigers are killing machines, to show this I used cogs to create a half tiger half machine outcome
Final outcome:
For my final piece I chose to use my drawing of a tiger crouching ready to pounce with cogs added to its upper leg muscles to show the pent up power in the muscles.
