Term One

Experimental textile

Firstly, we were tasked to divide an A1 sized paper into six equal squares and change their shape and form into three dimensional. I used many actions such as destroy, cut, sculpt, peel, rip, fold, wrap and many more to transform the form and shape of the paper. We then put the six individual pieces back together, then combined all the students paper crafts together into one massive art piece. We later shaped the art piece into a piece of fashion, to do that we punched a hole in the middle and created a cape.

Self-Standing Sculpture

The task was to create a free self standing sculpture from different found ordinary objects. The objects were of different materials such as wood, plastic and metal. After putting the sculpture together we were assigned to draw the sculpture using different forms of media to demonstrate the different textures of the material. Graphite pen was used to represent metal, charcoal for organic materials and felt-tip for plastic. We repeated the same process several times however the time frame was shorter each round.

Collage Drawing

I placed found ordinary objects from the studio around the university campus, and drew the object twice once to show highlight both the object and the space around the object on an A5 sized paper. The second time I drew the object was a close up only drawing the object.on an A1 paper. I collected a pair of 7 drawings and created collages using the drawings

Non-place

what is non place? Non-place or nonplace is a neologism coined by the French anthropologist Marc Augé to refer to anthropological spaces of transience where the human beings remain anonymous and that do not hold enough significance to be regarded as "places".

first. I looked around the campus for what I personally found as non place and quickly sketched them. I made around 20 sketches then I went pack to the studio and coloured a small section of the drawing with a bright colour. then I cut cardboard pieces and coloured them to fit recreate the sketches I did.

Typeface

I picked several alphabets and letters of different fonts and sizes and created sculptures using them by twisting, cutting and folding them into different shapes. I played the shadows and used my photography skills to use my photography skills the highlight the shadows of the sculptures. Having an architectural eye, I viewed the sculptures and shadows as building and architectural structures.

Sandal

I used cardboard to create a sandal. to do that I first created an outline of my foot to make my size. I then used a cutting knife to cut the cardboard into the shape I wanted and used scissors to create a smooth finish, I did three layers . I then created three wholes and places three pieces of cardboard and attached it to an oval shaped piece to hold the anklet. I later applied glue to stick the three layers and held it with masking tape until it dried. I later wore the slipper and took photographs of me in it.

Wearable Accessory

I was given 3 words transparent, circular bendable. I was asked to create a wearable accessory using these 3 words. at first I tried to make a bucket hat, but it was not experimental. I did several sketches and experiments until I ended up created a cape that highlights the three words.

Circular City

I was given a passage that describes an area of what my group and I understood as a circular city from the hints the abstract was giving us. we used cardboard and tried to include all the actions and adjectives we got from the passage.

Abstract Sculpture

I was given three words, stool, chair and bullet as was asked to make a sculpture that shed light on these tree words. I created a cardboard cut out of a bullet, a stool and a chair and put these elements together to make a single sculpture stand without the use of tape or glue

Animation

while watching a video of two dancing partners, we stopped the video every few seconds and had one minute to draw both figures using both hands. the male figure was drawn by a marker and female in pencil

Drawing

I drew one of my classmates and her surroundings from my angle with my weaker arm for a limited amount of time. I shifted places each time the model changed and the time got shorter each time, what also challenged my is the change of drawing material within each drawing
