  Kurt schwitter is a poet painter and mixed media artist, he is well known for creating collages, he is also known for his composition and his innovated mixed media work. I chose his because on one of my vinyls i want to make a collage of all my favourite musicians and the way he lays out his collages are how i want to do mine with the solid squares and layers. i like how he makes his collarges by scatering the pictures but staying to a colour scheme and he is the artists that matches my theme the best with the way he does his work. i also like the splashes of paint to make shaddows wich he adds to his work wich i thought about adding to mine however i just decided not to.

   here is my main vinyl for my centre piece, for this vinyl i wanted to add my identity to it so i made crystals out of plaster, my main idea was to make them out of clay however i wanted to create sharp edges and be able to file it down but keep that roughness of a natural crystal. i then coated them in pva glue to stop the plastic from soaking up the paint. when gluing them on i struggled to keep them on with a glue gun do i had to put them on with super glue. i painted a waning gibbous moon because that's the moon that was in the sky when i was born, and then i painted mercury because my star sign is Gemini and mercury is the ruling house of Gemini, i also painted the Gemini constellation and Capricorn which is my sun sign. for the middle i covered the original centre and re painted it with the arctic monkeys album cover because I'm going to there concert on the 2nd June.  for the rest of my vinyl's i collaged pictures of songs i like from all genre  to show that...
