Recently...

Haven't painted, or drawed, or done anything for dissertation.

First the telephone line was cut off then electricity during the weekend - No internet or light in the house.

What I've really been doing...

Reading the bible

Getting my lungs ready for the coming concert.

Stand by Southbank and let wind blow over me.

Seems like I do anything for art.

HELP- plant ident

Seriously lack of oxygen to brain from long coach journey. Desperately in need of that bursary so that I can travel by train next time. Tomorrow.

Sketch Design - A Composition Exercise

Unfortunately there's no concept. I tried to fit one in so that the sequence would be more meaningful. Hopefully it won't be too weird.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




Seeing its a shared space, I shall be more honest with the whole process. I didn't come out of the idea immediately. I also tried the 'filling the grid' thingie at the beginning.  Dreadful, isn't it?

I can't bear myself presenting some 'ok' work so I forced myself jumping out of the box. Anyhow it's not a difficult thing for a fruitcake to do at all, hahaha.
So,
cropped the woman, enlarged the Agra image, created some interruption in between, me well-contented!! But wait... how can I fit the 3rd in?? The jellyfish idea( the blue one on bottom left in previous image) is good on its own but no way to fit in this composition... I wish I had thought of a theme right from the start! Shall I give up the jellyfish one? If I want the ultimate effect, I'll have to drop it. Then I didn't touch this picture for another 2 days.

Sunday: after spending most of my day worshipping the almighty God, I told myself that I need to finish this work otherwise phantom of procrastination would follow me for another year. Praying for inspiration... eventually came out of the idea of a chess board. It looked pretty alright. Now there're officially 3 different ways of exploring human scale!!! Though I was really worried if it fit the brief saying about '3 individual images', didn't know if the 'hard to please' tutor would like my blending design.

And yeah, in order to avoid unnecessary controversy, I dropped that meaningless intervention on the top image.

Actually I had a really great idea, I could have extended the floor from the top image all the way down, in order to create a new dimention- a joining upright wall, making the rock climbing a frontal view which would create sorta illusion on perspectives. The reason I didn't do it is that I didn't figure out what went wrong with my tablet pen!!!! It was a shame that I've had it for like a year now but never really used it. It'd become a bonus in my future work, definitely.

sketch design 2

I'm still working hard at this time. Oops, 5am already??

Anyway, on Monday we made some quick models from cartridge paper(A1 divided into 4)，5min each.

Planar & Texture

Sequential, Volumes & Pierced (But I forgot to pierce it)

Soft, Hard, Connection & Planar

Interconnecting & Spatial, I chose this one to explore further in sketch design, as it's simple and cleverly done. And I love these photos as well.

I'll upload the sketch design after Monday pin-up. Me well-excited~~
