During my Pre-IB year at Aiglon, I experienced some of the starting points for IGCSE art. I have worked on many of my skills including acrylic paint, responding to the artist Maya Kopitseva, oil paint to help complete my artist studies on ToiletPaperMagazine, collages by getting inspiration from Robert Rauschenberg, and even dark-room photograms by looking at artists such as like Man Ray. I learned a massive amount about surrealist artists and painting techniques by going to the Bern museum and looking at works from Meret Oppenheim. Even though I have personally tried many different techniques, ranging from pencil to photograms, the one I put most to practise into was painting with oil paints. My favourite technique, and the one I'm most confident working with, is pencil, but I wanted to improve and learn how to be able to paint with oils so, I chose to do most of my work with that.
