Fourth Year Double 27.09.18

27/09/18

Three pupils in this class

Today they are continuing their object drawing from the previous week. Two of the pupil are carrying on with their broken bottles whilst one finishes off the paint brush. This week the two pupils with the broken bottles started to add colour with colouring pencils. The bottles are a dark green which they simplified the ground underneath with yellow paper. This group is the eldest group I observe and there is a very different dynamic in the class. The pupils are quite and attentive and there is zero disruption in the class. Since this was a double the girls had a good stretch of time.

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...

Object Painting and Preparation Work 19.09.18

19/09/18 Workshop 3 Object Painting and Preparation Work I really enjoyed this workshop. We had about 3 to 4 weeks working on one piece. We divided into groups of four and gathered everyday household items. In our group we had a lamp, fabric, vase, violin, lemon, apples, and grapes. We spent some time as a group setting up our still life and finishing the correct setting for each object and the correct position for each of us to sit. Once we were all happy with the setup we began a series of thumbnail sketches, exploring the various compositions we would paint for our final piece. I enjoyed the thumbnail task, as it reminded me of the process of a sketch book, where you are looking at the same objects but changing one slight aspect until you find the prefect composition. Before beginning the final piece I completed a series of colour test with acrylic paints, as I have never worked with them before. I really enjoyed this process, however I also used this as an example to pu...
