Life Drawing Reflective Statement

Although I have done life drawing in the past, I feel I have become more relaxed doing it in this past year. Starting off in September I was already confident with doing life drawing from a fine art standpoint, so I used charcoal and tried to stick with the techniques I learned from those classes which I feel worked well to draw realistically, but didn't show off my style as much as I would have liked. Near the end I feel that I have shifted to being more relaxed, using a sketchbook and drawing more in my own style I feel has allowed me to grow and develop more comfortably and see how I have developed in my own style rather than just trying to stick closely to the rules I got taught in fine art classes. From my work I wish that I would of have experimented more with different materials, as I became a bit too safe using a pencil and white paper and would of have liked to use more inks, paints and colours in general to express more in my work, but I am very happy with how a lot of the pieces have turned out and to see how I have grown to suit a sketchbook sized page with the models and the backgrounds, I think it has also help me solidify a style that I look forward to growing with in the future.

Sound Experiment 04

 Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it.  For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image.  Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi

Premise: Room Design and Development

Image
After finally deciding on a character design for the lead in my story, I decided to take that design and explore I will approach the environment where the story will be set. I wanted to look at making the room look very dull and also mismatched and dated to suit the juxtaposing feeling it has against Drew and how they feel being within the environment and how it feeds into their feeling of loneliness. I want ed to have an obvious focus toward the room looking old and not suited for Drew by looking at dated carpets and duvet designs to show how ill suited the room if for them, so I mainly focused on 50's patterned and designs. I also wanted to explore how I could structure the bed before finally comparing how I wanted the room to look colour wise. I am struggling to decide whether the rom looks good or bad against all the unflattering colours and designs, and as well which room conveys the idea I had for it the most effectively (e.g it previously being a young girls ro
