SWJ-ART's photostream
SWJ-ART's photostream on Flickr.
Here are pictures from my sketch book and practical works...:D
Set In to Motion
Hey there, things are finally clicking into place, handed my first brief in last week got a good mark. Feeling good that I got it done in time. Pictures will be up soon.
I have started my new brief over the last week, I have to choose a location and soak it in as much as possible. I figured I'd do the train seen as I'm on it for six hours a week. The other day there I was taking loads of photo's of everything, including the fabric on the seats. Going to take a good look at these pictures and see what ideas they may brew. Tomorrow when I set out to college I am going to annotate every thought, feeling and emotion that cross's my mind. Possibly with some thumbnail sketches and I am going to take more photo's, video and also record any sounds.
With this collection of information I can then look over it carefully, look for things I may of missed at the time and for any idea's that may come to mind.
On the Train each person who steps on and off tells a story, these tales are intertwined on a temporary basis, through a journey of the collective on the train. Majority of people keep their self to their selfs, in their bubble of communication through their phone or laptop. Many people remain unsociable reading their electronic books or listening to their personal mp3 player's, Ipods, etc.
The Passengers about the Anti Social express only become a unity on their journey on the train,, once they leave they embark on a journey completely separate. Who knows where it may lead them, who they may be visiting. Are they on their way to work or off on holiday...
Has our society become a very closed minded and reclusive....? With Our technology we can talk to many people around the world at once but face to face we are no good. No body trusts anyone yet online people spill out their life stories to complete strangers....
Intimately Ignorant.....

Absolutlie Fruity
So I've been asked to research, analyse and design my own fruit....
Over the past few weeks I have done exactly so, sometimes finding it grueling and other times thoroughly enjoying it. Now my project is at the best stage. The part where I finally get to make things, experiment and at long last create it.
Casting mod rock round my balloon was fun, I then went on to add another balloon on top of that cast which, once dry I carefully cut in half. Taking on the shape of an extra large pear. I have managed to create an organic looking shape for my fruit with use of balloons. Although this look promising, it is not a strong piece. I need to find a way to strengthen my outer shell, if I decide to go with this choice.

Over the passed week I have planned out a few experiments to carry out, I have competed almost all of them. I have been playing with wire to see how I can construct the inside part of my fruit.
Above I have used one of my shapes of fruit to play about with.
I have also explored various mediums for creating my skin textures, using candle wax, tin foil, clingfilm,
string fibers, mod rock and clay. By using different methods in applying these mediums I have been able to explore a multitude of textures that I am able to create.
I have cut this in half so that if it becomes my fruit it can be opened up to reveal its inner workings.
I have ideas of using foam and wire for then vain's and flesh.....
I would like to use plaster of Paris to strengthen the outer shell of my fruit.
If I go ahead with this my piece may end up being very heavy which could be problematic.
