Progress video!

A short time-lapse video showing my progress through out this project.

Protest Layout

Since it's looking like we'll be able to put up our protest stuff even if it's just for a little while I've been coming up with some exhibition display ideas:

Exhibition Ideas

After looking into the exhibition spaces in the studios, I have been thinking more in depth about my presentation of my final piece. A though we won't be able to display our work in the college I will be having everything set up in  different location (my home as I feel it fits the theme) and having some photographs of set up to go with my portfolio. I plan on having the 3 A4 portraits within black frames (I feel that black would make them stand out more). The portraits will hang above the chair. I want everything to be straight and parallel to each other as to tie in with the geometric nature of the art work and it'll look best that way. Here is a digital drawing that I did of my plan:

PDP Hand in

Today is our final hand in for PDP, I'm pretty happy with my folder I think everything is in order.

Finalising ideas!

Some quick sketches help make the final decisions on my protest piece. 

Working on my chair!

This turned out to be a fair bit more difficult than I expect but it's getting there.

I feel like the colours have turned out really bright which I'm happy about but the biggest problem that some of the pieces of would weren't holding with just glue, so then I changed to nails but then that wasn't working so I switched to screws so hopefully it'll work out this time!

Experimentations!

These are pics from my experiments of painting of different fabrics, acrylics worked the best because they easier went on top of the fabric and came out nice and bright.The only thing is that they can bleed through the back

Final Presentation

That's the final presentation done and dusted! I think it went quick well I managed to slow it down at the beginning so that it sounded less rushed. I feel the key to giving a pecha kucha is to pin point out the vital information and make sure you say that, so anything else is just an add on or gives extra information or context.

Benefits :D

Benefits of doing an art course your pals will draw pictures of you!

Collages

I've been working on different collages but using Photoshop rather than cutting up the images and I really like they way that they look.

These are the sketchbook pages depicting this colleges. 

Using apps

I found this app called Visulator where you can create lots of different geometric patterns. I really liked the way they look and it's easy to use and I could use them for backgrounds. They work quite well with the work that I've been making and tie in well with my drawings but I'm not sure if I like the contrast between the digital media and the hand drawn elements.

I like that I can change the colours and patterns. These ones were created using the Triangular option which I like best.

There is another option called Gradulate but I don't like this one as much as it's quite hard to control and I don't think that it has as good an effect.
