This week was pretty much full of inductions to different places. The first was WOOD. we got through all the machines an techniques with Roger and it was pretty good, but the final product was far from artistic...
a box with a wheel in... that was meant to have sand in.. but.. it didn't. lol, but tbh, it did make me feel ambitious about future projects involving scrap wood.
in the studio i was working on drawings of people around me. VOYEURISM like E HOPPER. i thought of the (w)hole thing and wanted to draw and encompass the whole environment i was drawing in. so i layered drawings of people to try and reflect what i was experiencing.
next workshop was clay. it was pretty dull. it left me feeling very unartistic..
i made a surreal sculpture.
i continued, in the studio, to layer drawings, i feel that i has a really good effect. i like the eye of the viewer having several viewpoints to look at. RAUSCHENBERG. i started to encompass people who werent in the room, as it was empty, using photos of friends as subject.
here i branched out into colour haha, i painted the room roughly in complementary yellow and purple and went on to layer images. i feel this one was rather successful.
i experimented with newspaper collage and layered drawings ontop. i enjoy this method of drawing. its really relaxing and also looks good. i think ink or charcoal+water was my fave material to use.
and finally: the metal workshop. we used copper and played around with it. there wasn't a final outcome, like the other workshops. instead just a few tests. but i think i liked the copper after itd been fired (as in the picture of copper on the stool) the colours are really cool. and its a random colouration too. like those chinese pots that crack on purpose.
flame on!
afterwards, i made a little free-standing sculpture out of copper that i had cut into a spiral as one of the tests.
