Graphics


Faces- Yourself and Others


Graphics day 1, our first challenge was to draw and sketch but not how i usually do. In a different way.
First sketch was to have a glance at the person across you and draw with our eyes shut.

Blind Drawing

 
 
 
Next sketch was to, draw with your pen/ pencil in your mouth. Which i found really fun, i surprisingly enjoyed it, how ever maybe it would've been easier for me if i wasn't to use a charcoal pencil?
 
 

 
 
 


 
 
The one after was to with you opposite hand, this was the one is struggled the most.




On this one we had to draw a self portrait without picking then pen off the sheet.




We then had to draw someones ear, so i decided to go with the ear i found more interesting with piercings on.






After our drawing session, we then moved onto collage. We were told to bring in a magazine to cut out 10cm long faces and create a collage, here's mine:



Unique Bridge



For this task, we got separated into groups of 6, where we had to create a bridge altogether.
The bridge was only allowed two stands also joined from one table to the other, across the room. It was also supposed to be quite high. High enough to fit a boat underneath it(folded table).
We got given elastic bands, Sticks, cardboard and tape.

Here was our unique outcome:






 
 
The bridge was successful, we managed to get the care to go around the roundabout and return to the other end safely.


Spaghetti Tent ?



We had to create ball holders from 20 spaghetti strands. It wasn't as hard it sounds, since we also got given glue guns to hold the spaghetti's together. Instead i glues the whole spaghetti all around to secure it doesn't snap off easily. We had to construct a structure that held three plastic balls.










Later on we had to create something that would protect our products that we've just created. Assume something big and heavy was going to crush our hard works.

So this was my outcome:











Creating Shadow with the lights:









Watching all our hard work, crushed in just a few seconds!







3D Triathalon




For this 3D pathway, Our first day we had to make anything in 3D that will hold a certain water bottle.
We got given a limited amount of time to create the plan and the original piece.
Here is my Creation:




 
Was this creation successful and did it work?
Well... No not really. It was quite pretty on the other hand however, if i do practise some structure based paper work, i will become successful one day. Or at least i hope i will.

Later on in the day, the second task we got given was to to pair up and create a seat in cardboard. I was late, due to this reason i had to work alone...
Although it wasn't such a bad idea, i got to experiment a little and i was successful for once!

Transformed Visions



Tate Modern; Review


Room 9
Facing History: Hrair Sarkissain

 
 

As i walked into the room 9, this photography piece took my attention straight away. I found it very interesting and amusing. How it Relates to history of the Contemporary war and civil society.
The Photos were taken in different cities such as: Damascus, Aleppo and Lattakia. In Syria, the Artists birth place. Each photo was taken in such knowledge of the certain times for the daylight, sunlight and midnight. It was thought fully in depth.
 
This was my favourite piece in the Tate Modern.


Fashion Photography



I took a few photos for my Accessory, and these are the ones i thought were the strongest ones:

 






All Photos were taken in the Building, Ravensbourne.

Final Accessory



Its timee! I'm making my final piece today after doing a whole load of design last night. I've chosen a very feminine and elegant head piece as my final accessory.
I was inspired by the 1920's art deco times. Ive always adored the 20's, especially the Fashion back then.

Development and progress on Final Accessory:
