Drawing Week - Day 4: Pears

  My Drawings:

  I really liked the last day of the drawing week because it's more still life than drawings a mixture of things which make the piece of work look abstract, like the photo space. I found this day quite easy for me because it's what I really like to do so I felt like I can finish this section of the drawing week quickly. I did try to do some more quick sketchy-style painting for the '50 marks' one which I found looks quite effective with the use of media materials I used.

Drawing Week - Day 3: Nature

  I missed this day of drawing, but I did half at home. From what I've done I liked it but I found it quite messy, just like the photo space just because it can be quite abstract with the brush strokes or/and pencil marks.

Drawing Week - Day 2: Skeletons & a Gramaphone

  My position whilst drawing in the space:

My Drawings:

  I did find this day really enjoyable; much better than the photo space because there is something to copy and you know what it looks like, unlike drawing lines and getting away with it easily. I like how I can draw detail and my observational skills can come out in my work, especially in the 12 sample picture (in the left).

Drawing Week - Day 1: Photo Space

  Our brief:

My Drawings:

I didn't find this day as enjoyable as I thought I would because it's drawing in quite an abstract and loose fashion and it didn't make me like that so much. Although I gave it a go I just didn't get the most out of that specific day.

Week 4 - 3D Sculpture

  For our task we had to create objects which symbolized a narrative of a "journey". I created a few sculptures in this area shown below.

Sketching out ideas...

Final maquettes.

All miniture sculptures I've made.

  I like the 3D cubes falling the most and I found this idea the most interesting becuase to me it's quite a kinetic sculpture from how the cubes are placed; like they're about to move or it's like a freeze-frame before they all topple on one another.

I did enjoy this part of the exploratory and I found this is the best workshop for me in the course so far because I've never done 3D models of anything before which I find interesting.

Week 4 - Surface

  Our task was to create 16 squares of different surfaces (4 from each material) and we were given only 4 materials to choose from. I chose gum tape, tissue paper, brown paper with paint on it and string. I also used a cutting knife and board to create negative space in the square given. Afterwards to pick 12 of the 16 you created and combine to make 6, then the 6 combined into 3 then the 3 you created to combine to 3 large scale pieces.

All 16 samples.

12 of the 16 samples I've chosen.

6 from the 12 combined samples.

3 from the 6 combined samples.

1st of the 3 larger scale pieces.

2nd of the 3 larger scale pieces.

3rd of the 3 larger scale pieces.

  Easy? - I found the cutting and sticking process fairly easy and making them simplistic made it easier for me to merge each square with one another.

  Difficult? - to keep concentrating on getting 25 individual squares completed and to make 3 large scale ones done with the time given.

  I have enjoyed today even though I did feel this exercise is quite simple and easy for me but it was good to think creatively how to merge each material with each other and to create interesting patterns.

Week 3 - Digital Media

  Here are some screenshots of what I did at home due to illness I missed this part of exploratory.
