I want to explore art in more depth. I liked the way that you mentioned on your course information that the emphasis on developing and exploring the possibilities of the chosen medium rather than finished artworks. I still have a lot to learn about western traditions of critical thinking and understanding in art. I have come from a place where simply traditional drawing skills are considered the most important aspect of art. I am excited by the possibilities of experimenting.

In the following blog I have tried to talk about the themes an issues that currently interest me. I feel most comfortable when making art. I am not a good speaker. Art is a way that I can put forward my ideas with some confidence.

many Iraqis in the south live and work in marshy lands, just like the man in this Screen Print.

these images show typical Iraqis doing different jobs. I did this images as Screen Print in 2009 at college. they are captured in seventeenth in south of Iraq.

the Oil-Glass on a paper

The reason why we did it this is to give us an experience about doing new project in Fine Art. I brought some plain glass I put the pic underneath the glass and then painted on the glass then I laid paper on the glass, next I used a roller to press down on the paper. Finally I took the paper off from the glass.

the scratched-window

the window has been painted on the glass first, then scratched on the glass. i did this in May to June 2010. I exhibited it in my final exhibition in July 2010 in Leeds.

saddam, screen-print on paper

The first time I did Scree-Preen on a paper as I enjoyed it very much. this picture is Saddam the previous Iraqi president. I did this because of the Saddam's injustice as he was very bad to his own people even the neighbor's country. so I am trying to show him when he was in present and when he was being executed. as the saying goes, what is goes around , comes around.
