Life Drawing 11th Dec

All life drawings from today, wearing costume & without

Alternative Miss World - Rational

Where do I want it to go & how do I go about it?
Make a suit?
Latex Mask?
Include numbers/letters somehow? - Infinity mainly
Shapes - Circles

How will it look?
Based upon a circus ring-master?
Clown?
Funny or creepy?

What will it be?
Video Scribe - photos?
Animation - use technique similar to their advertising - Collage
Costume?

Quick Time
Adobe Flash

My end goal is to make a garment which represents letters & numbers and also incorporates my latex mask of a scary/creepy clown face
I want to stick around the theme of Infinity & circles/never-ending shapes, numbers or forms

How will it walk?
Animate it possibly?
What if the face could move?

Self Assessment of Everything So Far

Since the beginning of this academic year;
I have started to find my style of drawing
I have improved massively in drawing with tablets and graphics pads
Adobe Flash & Photoshop are easier to use and higher quality
Understand the importance of Art in the outside world
Better awareness of critical assessment & not to take everything personally
Starting to use up all the space I have been given, be it on a piece of paper or workspace
Taking more influence from other artists & work (with the help of social networking)

Still need to improve on the amount of research I do however
Need more sketchbook work
More on Blogger
More work in general
Need to keep up with Personal Reflection book & my diary/daily sketchbook

What have I created?
Life Drawing on Paper, Tissue, Tablet, Paint, Chalk, Pencil, Pen, Stick
Short animations in Darren's session to get used to Flash again
Video Scribe
Started on Diary/Daily sketchbook
Currently working on a design for wearable piece for SeWhat

How do i feel life drawing is going?
Tablet drawings are going pretty well, starting to get better and find my style
Still struggling & getting frustrated when using paint & most media on paper
Proportions are slightly off but not too noticeable

Life Drawing on Tablet

Model was ill today so we took it in turns being the model & drawing each other. Bad quality images because I was unable to get the originals off the tablet, hopefully will be able to get them soon. Started off pretty roughly as usual but managed to get a few good pieces done this session,l. Need to work of faces & colouring of skin & shading tones.

Contextual

Why do we learn about the past?
Without knowing the past how can we create the future?
History would repeat itself
We find our style within the timeline of art
