This is the series of work I produced for my drawing class in block one. (Finally took some photographs of them). Made by scratching/etching into (2) pyrex surfaces and (1) a piece of glass. Charcoal and pastels then smudged into each mark made on the surface. Similar outcome to printmaking without all the fannying around.

The new brief for Pathways Project part two was given out on Monday (20/02/2012) based on Visual Communication to create a poster and a flyer for a topic of your choice for the Boness Hippodrome. Not actually thought about what direction I want to go yet. However, I have been messing around with a few idea which have came to mind: 

These will be elaborated more within my sketchbook work and why I have decided to choose these images and narrative paths.




Following this I also though it would be a good idea to do some more for for my 'Transformation' brief within the Specialist Skills Module. Still not too clued up to where we are heading with this on-going Specialist Skills Module and I believe everyone else is the same. Here is some of the experimentation I have been doing, looking at the concepts of time and how things can change (Moulding). I would like to see how far I can take this and see what different shapes and forms I can produce using time.

....................

Left for a certain period of time will the shape or form of the fungus or bacteria end up growing upward - will it look like -

Taking a form which we can all recognise as something else - 'a clown'.

Before the weeks holiday we were given a mini task for Contextual Studies on the film 'London'. The key terms of the film are: 

• Poetic Meditation
• Flaneur ('a person who walks the city in order to experience it' (Baudelaire))
• Derive (a spontaneous journey through an urban landscape guided by feeling and intuition)
• Psychogeography ('the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.')
• Heritage Industry

The exercise for 23/02/2012 (Tomorrow):

1. Create an image - drawing, photograph, college etc - of Robinson (the main person in the film) and/or his home.
2. Like Robinson with his monument to the writer Lawrence Sterne, (a novelist and an Anglicanclergyman. He is best known for his novels The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy; but he also publishedmany sermons, wrote memoirs, and was involved in local politics. Sterne died in London after years of fighting consumption.) 'imaginatively reconstruct' a part of your own environment, providing a brief explanation of why you made your choice.

I decided to go for option 1 and draw a picture of what i thought he would look like - this is my result:

Pathways Project - New sketching technique for use in ideas and development sketchbook. 'Homelessness' picked as my chosen topic for the theme of home and displacement. Decided to go for a more abstract approach to developmental drawings. 


Will certainly try this arrangement more often throughout the remained of the pathways project brief.

The most inspiring piece of artwork I have seen in a good while. Great imagery and backing, actually tells you the story. :)

Been a while since I last posted on my blog, but after my PDP mid-module tutorial it is something I should be doing weekly if not daily. From my meeting with Paul I need to add a lot more images of my own work and development ideas. 
Alongside work with my Pathways Project I have been putting somewhat of my time to photography, this is my latest pictures captured.
