My name is Alayna I go to King Edward High School in Edgbaston and I'm here to talk about my object of the month, this Hominid skull.
I chose to take a picture of it and visit this museum, in fact, to focus on my GCSE art theme of growth and decay. I chose this skull, this was I think the second one that I did. And I thought, I did previously my skulls in biro and I thought, I need to do some watercolor. I need to capture the values and the texture of the skull.
I emphasized some of the colouring, especially of the teeth and the sort of upper cheek bones. I emphasized sort of the red and the brown.
I would encourage anyone in the university or outside to come to the Lapworth Museum and visit it and have a look at the preservation and the artifacts.
