They get terrified when they both see each other


Then the fox climbs to the top of the air- balloon


The fox then tears the balloon with its nails

Memories within my environment- Day 1

Lens based media- Week 2


 Attachment



From photograph that brings memory to me I have chosen I redrew it again onto an A1 size paper using charcoal which I found using the best with just because I believe that it makes drawing more freely and having the ability to smudge and create different strokes and patterns within the paper. the reason I chose to draw this chain was because of the memories that it brings back of me visiting  the area with my cousin and a friend and also the Design Museum that I've been to. I have specifically focused mainly onto the bottom half of the image purely just because I want to capture the attachments within the chains.
I think I got on well with the task, because I focused on the composition of the chains: light/shade areas, layering and the foreshortening of some chains created from the shooting angle of the camera. I believe that my sketch of the image was successful because the arrangements and sizes of the chains seem similar. From this task I have learned more about sketching an  image from a photograph onto the paper looking at its various compositions, this will be helpful for next time because I could consider other factors such as lines, patterns, direction of the sun, and also the camera angle.

Deconstruction of the photographic image drawing

Using paper I teared paper in to pieces I tried to create new focus points and meanings by covering up some parts of the actual drawing itself.












Exploring the potential of the camera in order to explore the story of a single image

I took photographs from varied angles to show height and depth of the overall image itself. I looked into different compositions again such as symmetrical lines, patterns, shapes, layers and camera angles to express each photograph.

Reflection- Day 3

Timeline

Brainstorming


This is my sketches of my weeks in uni mainly focusing onto the time tables, the destination, food and the tasks within that week. I found this task challenging because at first I was confused about what to include and how to make an actual time line of the week. We didn't have to make a final presentation, so i decided not to do one just because i found this task challenging and also i just wanted to leave my time line as how it is on the page brainstormed with my sketches

Exhibition Visits- Day 2

Victoria and Albert Museum
Illustration Awards 2013

The Roman Column


Baroque Pipe Organ And Ferrari 360 Engine


While waiting to see the “Memory Palace” exhibition I looked into other art work in display at the V & A. I really enjoyed looking at the “illustrations awards” art especially these drawings of the hand craftsmanship. Think that the choice of mediums (charcoal, pencil, tracing paper) help sketch out the detail of the objects. The challenging part of the whole day was definitely trying to find the rooms in the whole museum, as they were far apart from each other and the museum itself was very big as well.

Making It Up- Photographic Fictions


OUTBURST!


What I like about this photograph itself is how busy the photo is with objects and emotion, props such as over stacked objects are used to also convey this once again to us the audience. The rule of thirds intersecting to center of the image as being the man in pink shirt, using his body language to show the height of emotional outburst, which then allows the audience to finish off the story in their minds.

Silence in the changing room



This photograph is actually a constructed set, which I think is setting a relaxing atmosphere with use of yellow as if its sunset. I like the focus point of the composition being the lines.
Couch

Quick rough sketch "Hannah Strakey, Untitled- May 1997 (couch) photograph using the medium of pencil, I like the contrasting bright colours of the objects in the photograph itself, which allows your eyes to wonder around the image.

Building Memories- The Art Of Remembering 


Building stories


The 14 variable parts that can be read in any order, the visually experimental pages reveal the memories of four people and the building they inhabit. the lines and flat colours evoke the smell and feel of emotions experienced at home, I especially like the Pop Art look of the boxed letter 'B' and also how the cover box seems like its a game box

Memory Palace-
If you could keep one memory, what would it be?

I was really fascinated by the whole exhibition because every different area presents a different form of art work that is different than the other attracting attention. I especially like the texts on the walls, which as you read one of them you want to read the rest and I found some of the text challenging to the human mind and trying to understand the context to it. The art works we're also all amazing and some surreal. Hari Kunzru's exhibition theme is set in a future London where you feel as if your walking though his book/imagination and actually experiencing the story itself with a broad wide range of artwork from varied fields such as from comics, illustrations, typography to advertising.

Memories- Day 1

Research-Week 1


Past Memories, Present Day, Future Aspirations





The Past Is Free

 Observational drawings of the 10 objects which I selected from my past and present-A1 size sheet

  • Tunning peg,
  •  Bow headbands,
  • Paper clips,
  • Old macDonald farm game,
  • Venice boarding tickets,
  • Nail polishes,
  • Frigde magnet,
  • Letter from my friend,
  • flower from an dress part,
  • Usborne first 1000 words
I used different mediums such as pens, pencils and so on to sketch my objects onto the paper, I enjoyed and found it easy freestyle sketching, because I didn't have to think too much about it and just getting along with the task.Each drawing is varied in its size and free in its own space. I undertook interesting tasks such as tasting and hearing the objects and reflecting these back onto the paper which I also found challenging as well as I've never done this before.
