Art & Design


Art & Design day 1

Materials

Pencils
Paper
Graphite
Acrylic paint
Ink
Acetate
Cartridge paper

Process

The first thing we done for the art carousel was mark making. We had a dozen pieces of paper and each time the teacher would give us a feeling to draw for example we had to draw anger. She then played music and told us to draw the music which was the most difficult part. The types of music that was played were rock and classical.
After that we put some of our best drawings onto an A2 piece of paper and made a collage Experimenting with acrylic paint, Charcoal and graphite.

In the Afternoon we done some mono printing using different paper based materials that had indents in them which meant that we could create some cool effects. 
After preparing the materials that we needed, We used a roller to cover the material in ink. Once that was done we put the materials through a press on top of some cartridge paper.
The result showed the inked pattern on the paper.

Technical Skills 

The skills i learnt from the first day was how to do mark making, and also how to do prints.  
A specific skill i have learnt from the mark making was that in order to make your drawings more interesting its good to put different amounts of pressure on the pencil as you concert soft lines swell as very bold lines.


Check sketchbook for art and design drawings.

Art & Design day 2

Process

For the second day we took the A2 collage we had made on the first day and cut into it and folded it to create a sculpture. I started off by folding the paper down until it was a quarter of the original size. I then proceeded to cut triangles and other shapes into the paper. The outcome was pretty cool. After that the teacher told us to place are structure's onto different objects and photograph them. This is my paper structure on top of a manikin head. I think that this makes the manikin stand out and look abstract.



Technical Skills

The skills that i have learnt from the second day of the art carousel is that when you are folding your paper you need to make sure the lines are dead straight otherwise the paper will crease and it wont look any good.

Anaglyphic effect in photoshop

After thinking about my options i came to the conclusion that i wanted to create an image with a 3D effect for my final piece.  Creating an anaglyphic photo is actually very simple, it only consists of 3 steps. Step 1)  The first step is to take the image you want to develop and drag it down to the tab which looks like a post it note. this will duplicate the layer so that you have a foreground and a background layer.  Step 2) Once you have your two layers you want to double click on the layer that is at the top. the photo on the left shows what it looks like. what you want to do is look for the three ticked boxes labelled "R" "G" and "B". you want to untick the "R" box. then press ok and you will return back to your photo ready for the final step. Step 3) before we do the final step you must make sure that you have clicked on the top layer before you adjust the layers as if the bottom later is selected you wont be...

Ideas for 3D project (Unit 6)

3D Research At the start of any project, its always a good idea to have a look around and try and find some ideas and techniques to use. because the project is on 3D. i began my search on pintrest and simply typed "3D". there were hundreds of photos, collages and physical pieces to chose from. i started with the most recognised style of 3D. anaglyphic photography. anaglyphic is basically the red and blue lines that appear on the edges of the objects being photographed. This is an example of an anaglyphic photograpgh. the photo shows a model in the right third of the image. the photo is being shot in an architectural area. from looking at many photos. alot of the anaglyphic shots are taken in areas with buildings or structures, this is because of the straight edges which makes the 3D effect stand out.  this is an analogue example for my 3D project. this is called lenticular printing. this technique is all about perspective. as you can see depending on wha...

Eadweard Muybridge Recreation

Muybridge Recreation In preparation for the photographs I adjusted the focal length to 100 mm and the shutter speed of 1/2500, the fast shutter speed enabled me to get a crisp image. However, because of the fast speed it let in less light making the image slightly more darker. So I new  thatwouldn’t be able to go up to 3000 th of a second. As the photo wouldn’t be visible. The camera I used shot at three frames per second which was fine as there wasn’t to much of a gap. What I like about the image is that it has similarities to Muybridge's showing the different stages of the body  as they run and also the black and white effect. By  adding  black and white to the photo gives the image a old look which looks cool to me it also brings out the black in the dogs fur and therefore makes it stand out from the bland background.
