3D Outcome

I am very happy with my 3Doutcome from my design sheets beacuse, it was inspired my the pavilion we visited at the Serpentine.

This is the front view of my out come.  I used bright colours, thread and cardboard to create thus piece.

This is the left view of my work. You can see how I that thread the string into the cardboard so it would createintreseting shapes.

The image above displays the back of my out come.  In this picture you can see how I made the shapes stand. I used the method of slotting which can be seen at the bottom if each shape.

This is a view of the right of the model. In this image you can see how each shape flows into the next,this would allow people to walk through the pavilion.

Here is a birds eye view of the finished product.

These three images shows a close up of threading I had done on the sections of my work.

Bas-Relief

I Walsoken produced this 3d collograph  from the A1 observation drawings we had done of our sculptures. I used cardboard, stings and fabric to make my design. After I was happy with the finished design I moved on to Painting it using 3 colours but various shades.

Collograph and Monoprinting

Collograph

This is the collograph I designed using cardboard, fabric and string. I designed this collograph  from my groups finished sculpture.

I them moved on to using my collograph to design different prints.

Monoprinting

After these prints on plain and coloured paper, I then moved on to doing some Monoprinting and I also produced one revers Monoprint.

Exploring Collograph  and Monoprinting 

Once I had explored broth Collograph  and Monoprinting, I then decidedelete to experiment further with ink and combing both methods of printing together.

10x A1 Drawings

These drawings are all observational from the build we previously  done. I have drawn from my own structure and others.

TONE DRAWINGS

This piece was produced using chalk. I placed a checked matt on top of the piece to make the piece more aesthetically pleasing. I chose to leave fin gap between the checked work to bring a lighter tone.

I produced this drawing with the medium oil pastels. I decided to experiment as I have hardly used this medium before, I feel I was very successful and ,an aged to capture the tones and shades within the sculpture.  

TEXTURE DRAWINGS

I used various materials including rolled up paper, brown tape,  Chalk, black wool and black paper. I produced this by looking at another groups shelter who had used these materials.

This us a mixed media piece  using brown paper, newspaper and charcoal. Although this is one piece if paper, it consists of three different area's/angles of my structure. I used the paper to build the mail sections of the structure and then added loose charcoal lines to create form.

LINE DRAWINGS

For this line drawi, I used charcoal and wool to produce lines and tone. I have used grey and green wool to create lines and add lined tone to the observational piece. The wool has been placed on top on the charcoal lines to figure a more bold appearance.

This is a simple line drawing from a structure using charcoal. It has very little detail and also has slight shading.

PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS 

The drawing on the left is done in the media biro pen. I really tried to concentrate on tone and perspective as I drew this piece. This was my first attempt as perspective and I feel it went very well.
The one on the right has been done in pencil. I was trying to experiment with cross hatching and still concentrating on perspective. I feel it did not go as well as the one on the left.

I feel this is my best outcome of perspective. I feel i manged to grasp it very well using the media charcoal. This was an observational drawing of another groups structure.

SHAPE DRAWINGS

This drawing was produced using chalk and also using black paper. The black paper was used for the darkest areas and the Chalk was used to create the formation and shape.

This was a drawing sone of the feather of my structure using chalk. I feel like this was the weakest piece of work.

The Build

Producing the group sculpture was very fun and exciting but, it did come with its challenges. even thought we had some problems, we managed to fix them as a group.

The sculpture is a representation of everyone's idea in my group of four. it has Elle's idea of a swan feather, Tianna's idea of a wave, Jasmines idea of triangles and webbing and, it included my idea of pyramids that could be walked threw and sat in. Combing all of these gave us a very successful sculpture that all of use were proud of.

On the first day of making, we made the feather and a pyramided to support it. we managed to get this standing up on its own. this selection allows people to stand under the feather for shelter.

On the second day, as a group we moved on to adding the other features in the surrounding area including my pyramids, Jasmines triangles and Tianna's wave. we managed to get all of that and we started to add webbing to make everything link together.

On the third day, we made sure everything was string and could stand up. we tapped and tapped our sculpture to the floor and began adding even more webbing.

On the fourth day, we had finished making. the last day consisted if adding finishing touches and details. we added a sign and added cassette tape to personalise our sculpture.

We faced a few problems but the biggest one was the webbing. At first the webbing was to tight so it was causing sections of the sculpture to rip and collapse, to fix this problem we cut the string off, made the sections we wanted the string to come of more durable and added the strings back but we made them loser this time. That problem was then resolved.

Our other problem was due to running out of resources. on one day, we ran out od staples which meant we had to rely on tape which proved to not be as strong.

Overall, I love our sculpture. I feel like we was extremely successful and it came out a lot  better than I thought It would. The only thing I would change about this, is the colour of the cardboard. This is because, it was a mixture of white and brown which made it look a bit messy. My favourite part is the webbing and the cassette tape that we weaved in. That small feature made everything come together.
