Introduction

Welcome to my blog my name is James Hyland, for this project I shall be discussing two topics that I find interesting; the first of these topics is, Dinosaurs and the second topic is an art style Japanese prints. I shall start this blog by talking about the how these topics are presently portraied in the media, then move on to how they got their by talking about the past and finally i will look to see where thier futures lie and discuss where i think each topic shall end up in the years to come. I shall also discuss the possibilty of a IP using these two topics

I have chosen to talk about dinosaurs because I have been interested in them from a young age and find them fascinating so I shall enjoy talking about them, how they affect us now and how they will continue to affect us.

This is an example of a pair of dinosaurs hunting and was uploaded in 2009

I have recently become interested in Japanese prints as I have been following a few artists and looking into their influences and all have ended up upon Japanese prints, so it shall be very interesting discussing how it began and how it will continue to be used.

This image is an iconic example of Japanese print called 'The Great Wave' by artists Fugaku Sanjuokkei between 1830 and 1833
