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.

Martha Madigan | Camera less Photography

Camera less Photography  Camera less photography is an alternative to using a Dslr camera. Cameraless photographers such as Man Ray  Martha Madigan and Adam Fuss create their photos using enlargers. Man ray was one of the first people to create an image without using a camera. he called these "rayographs", Which then evolved into photograms. To create a photogram you place objects over light sensitive paper and then expose the paper for around 8 seconds. The downside to using photograms is that the photos will always be 2D and will be from a birds eye view. Martha Madigan American photographer Martha Madigan was born in Milwaukee in 1950. she is a very interesting photographer as she creates very surreal photograms with multiple exposures and objects you wouldn't usually use. some of the themes she has done in the past are life and death, nature and culture and the fleeting existence of the body. the reason why i  chose to research this photographer wa...

Shutter Speed

shutter Speed what is Shutter Speed ?  The Shutter speed is how long your camera's sensor is exposed for. The way this works is by two shutters ( or curtains). One that goes up at the start and one that goes down at the end. Depending on how fast the shutters move will depend on how fast the photo was taken. For example if the shutters moved at 1/15. Then the photo will be a bit blurry and should probably need a tripod as longer shutter speeds pick up more movement. Slow shutters can be used for landscape and anything to do with light trails. whereas a fast shutter speed like 1/1250 will be a lot more sturdy and more crisp. This speed is used for action shots and fast moving images. The next two photos show the difference between a slow shutter and a fast shutter using water droplets. Both images were shot in manual mode which enables me to have full control of the camera. To show the differences fairly I have kept the same composition for both photos. All I've...

The basic analysis of images in art and design part 2

Analysing An Image Analysing images can help improve the description of a photograph. The best way to analyse photos is  by using the 5C's. which are Content, Composition, Context, Connection and Comment. this Particular photo shows a very dark and gloomy factory. with bits of rubble on the ground along with weeds and their is also a very overgrown plant centered in the middle of the frame. This photograph gives off a moody atmosphere as the colours are very murky and dark. another reason for the moody atmosphere is because their is no body in the photo all that is shown is a few weeds and some grimy brick walls.  But the photograph is very intricate. Because the photo was taken at around F9, the photo is very clear and you can see the crumbling brick walls that show a lot of detail. The composition of this photo uses the rule of thirds. I can identify this because the focus point is the greenery in the middle and the two vertical lines go down inline with the bric...
