Second Years 24.09.18


24.09.18
The class is split in two, 10 and 11. So most days Ms S and Ms D have a class each. Eventually on a Monday I will have half the class so when Ms D is out I take that class. Now I had no prep for it and this was their first class of life drawing. I decided to just to gesture drawings as it is only a 40 minute class and they were leaving early for a uniform inspection. All of the pupils were very nervous to start this. As I had just did this myself in a class I thought the experience was great to get me start back to life drawing as I myself find it is very difficult. We did a series of poses starting and 30 seconds and building up to 10 minutes and swapped models every second pose so they all got a feel of the time and what they could achieve.
Looking back I should have give them a brief breakdown of the figure and how you approach drawing it but I didn’t. I don't think it totally necessary for gesture drawing but perhaps a bit more knowledge would have been helpful for the longer poses. It was a great way to get the girls drawing and it also kept them quite and focused, as they were concentrating on finishes something within a time limit.

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...
