Exploring film and the context in Barbarella Exploring films in my cultural study sessions help me to open my eyes to options in creativity and all the different ideas that people have had. Barbarella had a very futuristic feel to it, its metallic garments and angular features emphasise this.  Its funky music and sound effects added with the space elements really makes the...

using one of my most collected items as a base for my research and design development colour palette to work with; Above is a small colour scheme, taking advantage of my camera I added the image into photoshop and selected the colours digitally for a change.  development in different methods and types of media As mentioned in the previous post 'Collections', I wanted...

emptying our bags/pockets and exploring collections of items Above, I emptied a pocket of my bag and laid out the contents, I decided to lay them out neatly as I had some ideas in mind of creating uniform patterns from them later on in my development. To develop this further, I would like to lay out groups of items in the same way but...

using paper to create forms that would transport an egg from a to b without cracking we were given the task to create a form/structure that could hold an egg and be dropped from point a to b without it cracking. I wanted to keep the design simple and effective, so I made a small box, then filled with lots of zig-zag folded...

For this challenge, we got given 5 different words that we had to define and then further develop this by collecting images, movements and objects that could represent  Xanthic = yellowish Above, I walked around the college grounds photographing things that were yellow. I took a piece of perspex and coloured this yellow with pen and held in front of my phone camera...

 utilising the names given to gain research on methods and inspiration  Both of these artists share simplistic approaches. Although the time span between both of the artists is great, their work seems so similar. Jones' work is created digitally and his technique of not including black outlines works effectively. This 'no outline' method was also included in Albers' work too, which could be...

exploring how quentin blake works and the style of his work at the heong gallery Visiting the Heong Gallery in Cambridge, we got the opportunity to take a look at some of Quentin Blake's best work. His work displays simplicity and shows that work doesn't have to be realistic to look good and complete. His work opened my eyes to the way I...

taking elements developed previously in paper sculptures and creating simplistic designs from them to further explore in prints For this double page, we took elements from our previous paper sculptures and quick observational drawings and narrowed them down to simple geometric shapes. From this we layered lots of different angles and elements to form outcomes that could be coloured and developed further into A3...

combined large graphite + charcoal drawings together with cutouts to form 3-D objects or sculptures. Here is a quick observational sketch of my finished paper maquette/sculpture. I used graphite and a red felt pen.  - G  combined large graphite + charcoal drawings together with cutouts to form 3-D objects or sculptures.

live models; chickens  I used biro to produce continuous line drawings, making sure to place close attention to the subject I was drawing and seeing whether my proportions were right or not. Then I went over through the design adding washes of watercolour, introducing a hint of a colour scheme into the double spread-this being selected from the chickens them self. I also...

using those new methods practised in our sketchbooks, on large sheets of paper we made group observational drawings After the task previously, we used the techniques learnt to produce observation drawings on large sheets of paper that were all done using stick and ink. Here is some of what the class managed to produce:  - G  ...

using sticks and different inks to practise our observational skills Working with a new technique and material, the next challenge was to use sticks and different inks and practise in our sketchbooks on a double spread the marks we could make, holding the stick at an arms length. I also layered some more unused plasterers tape to leave a mesh effect when removed,...

using masking tape and plasterer's mesh tape to create observational drawings of our objects in front of us Once we had this laid out, we started rubbing over it with a cloth and shoe polish to work as a resist against the ink used in the next step. Then, the ink wash was applied all over using a paintbrush and large strokes. To finish it...

drawing objects that were being described to us by the person behind us RULES Person drawing is not allowed to see the object The describer cannot say the materials its made from or what the object is. We then had 5 minutes each to describe the object to the person drawing and this is what we both ended up with;  Breaking the object into smaller parts/sections...

·      Nike Savvas The complexity of the string work in this design looks both aesthetically pleasing and works well as a strong structure that could be used to hold something up on something on it. Much like our chicken run experiment, we were limited or had a minimal amount of materials to use: string was one of the main materials that immediately caught...
