Alice in Wonderland

Currently, i am aiming to build a micro house based around alice in wonderland.

The World of Commedia dell'Arte

This video was very useful as a first source of research as it gives me a basic understanding of the primary characters and their mannerisms.

Alice in Wonderland

I intend on creation at least 20 ideas based on characters design or background design by the end of the session.

In my quick sketches I was thinking of a few quick ideas, I quickly started running out of ideas. I then started to develop my idea of the castle but I started to doubt the actual design of the castle. Over the next week I need to research into castle and buildings, I want combine every day building with castles.

I still need to look in to scenes for extra ideas as I started to run out very quickly.

Hopefully next week I will use a graphics tablet.

Today I will use a graphics tablet to create the scene of the queen of hearts castle. I need to look into castles more. I will maybe then make a small 3D maquette of the castle out of card.

I need to look into ways of constructing with card for next week to create a maquette.

From this week onwards I will start designing furniture.

Jackson Pollock

I researched into the work of Jackson Pollock. As you can see he splatters paint onto his desired ground. I like the way he works as it is a organised mess. 

I like the colours that he uses are very nice as they sometimes clash but they work very well together.

Peace Room

My final piece for the piece room was based around the work of Jackson Pollock it was of a wide range of colours splattered onto canvas.

I think that my piece came out very well I think that the colours used are very warm and welcoming. I feel that it is matched the brief very well. 

I did some testers so I could decide what colours to use. 

I liked all of the tester pieces so I decided to combine all of them to come out with my final piece. I was happy with the end result. I chose to put the thin black and white lines and splatters I've the top as it makes the colours look brighter. 

Life Drawing session

This is my second attempt of the day I like the way I have created line as it is clear but it's quiet messy.

I like abbeys work as it has a very good form and line.

I enjoyed this drawing I still need to work on getting the tone right!

Liverpool

We went to Liverpool on the 4th of February, while we was there we visited three galleries. The walker gallery, the blue coat gallery, and Tate Liverpool. We also went to Crosby beach. Where Gormley's figures are.

All the photos above are from the walker gallery I liked all of the pieces because the content within them is really interesting. All of the pieces are very accurate, I like see paintings in first person as you can see all the cracks and the brush strokes.

The last group of photos are from the Tate Liverpool I like all of these pieces are abstract and could have many different meanings and I like that someone had gon through a process to get to that final piece. In the blue coat gallery I didn't take any photos as I was so interested in the art.

Life drawing

I like this peice because I think I've got shape very well by the way I made line! I think that I still need to work on hands. I will do some more research on drawing hands!

My second piece I did, I didn't like as much. I think it looks really scruffy! I need tofocus on getting all the detail right.

I drew on my iPad and it looks very scruffy, however I like the final result I think It look very smart! I need to work on structure still!

I like charlie chambers' work as he shows shape and form very well!

For next week I still need to work on hands as it is the one place that I struggle most on. 

LSG Evaluation!

My first piece of work was the one that I got inspiration from a bag of walkers crisps design. I thought of this as usually a crisp packet is quite bright and quite eye catching and inviting. So I tried to adapt the design for a learner survival guide however I struggled to do so as I was trying to get everything perfect and I then ran out of time.

My second idea was the one of being stuck in a vending machine. The idea behind this is that no matter what your beliefs are at college you will be accepted as what you are! I chose the red and the green for the character on the machine as they are the college colours.

My final idea is the one with the four faces mashed up the concept behind this is that no mater what you look like, no matter what your beliefs are, if you are different you will always be accepted and their will always be someone their for you I chose red and green as they are the college colours. Black for the background so it would stand out more.

In conclusion I think that my final piece worked quite well. I believe that it is that unattractive that you can't keep your eyes off of it! However if I was to do it again I would definitely try and get the faces to align better. I would also try different colour scemes. As I think it could look better if the colours didn't clash as much.
