Second Years 17.08.19


17/09/18
The class is split 11 and 8. The group of 8 are currently doing life drawing with Ms D. The pose was seated with hands in lap. The kids didn’t want to choose who to model so their compromise was to put names in a hat and I would chose. Ms S (Co operating Teacher) gave me A2 sheets for them, which did throw them, they wanted to use A4. They asked me how would they use the page, I explained as they are so close to them portrait would probably be better. I gave them the option (like in the JC) of full seated or head and shoulders. All the girls except one just did head and shoulders. When the pupils were drawing most of them weren’t looking at the model they where drawing. The one pupil who attempted the full pose drew what she thought she should draw. As she was slightly on the left hand side of the model, where as she drew as if she was face on. I don’t think the they enjoyed the class all that much. The approach each pupil took was interesting. Now I’m not sure how they were introduced to life drawing. But some took their time mapping the face out and some kept going and then rubbing out.
 I do think though they didn’t see me as a teacher and that this may have been a free class for them. Maybe next I should go around and ask them how are they getting on. I did give out and collect their paper and pencils.

3D Mixed Media Sculpture & Preparatory Work 28.02.19

28/02/19 Workshop 6 3D Mixed Media Sculpture  & Preparatory Work At the start of the 3D mixed media sculpture I struggled with the entail concept when a bag of miscellaneous objects where placed in front of me to sketch. I began exploring a few of the object such as a computer hard drive, a wooden shoe, a trumpet and various piece of metal.   As I was struggling to conceptualise my design I turned to card and start to experiment with shape. In my under graduate model making was required with every design, thus card and cardboard are very familiar materials to me. I began by exploring various shapes and how they might interact with each other.  As I was trying to make my objects support themselves, I came up with the idea of a gravity defying piece. If the observer sees the structure I wanted them to question how is it being supported. I wanted the piece to be comprised of many different materials and geometric shapes to emphasis the structure and allow...
