Sheetwork on remarkable creatures

I have completed my first sheet with my five combined main artists on and the link between each of them in relation to my ideas and my outcomes. I have also started my second sheet today which is based on my 'mister finch' artist research as I feel this artist will influence my final piece the most and contribute to my ideas the most.

Ceramics piece

This is the rabbit piece inspired mainly by my artist research on mister finch and Donna Wilson I created in ceramics yesterday after first experiment on the small bowl.

Donna Wilson artist research

In my sketchbook I have finished my Donna Wilson research into her textiles objects,purposes, materials and techniques and now I am beginning my research on Vladimir kush in my sketchbook on the next following pages.

Ceramics

Today we did a ceramics workshop in which we learnt the charactistics of two types of clay and that been normal pottery clay and a sand like substance but which still acts as clay. We were experimenting in the texture and objects in which you can create with clay and I decided to create a small vase at first with curved edges which I uploaded a picture of but then the edges began to get too thin and weak and the fixture was beginning to get more wide, so I rolled my clay back up into a tight even ball and decided to create a rabbit so I shaped the circle as the head and then used two more pieces of clay to shape into the ears and because they were quite large I applied the heat gun for 10 seconds to harden the clay. I then used some material and done wallpaper to use a tolling pin sand press the detail from them into the rabbit ears which in hoping will look effective later. I then also shaped the face more to create hollow eyes and the rabbits snout and left to harden and to transform, I also needed to add colour but I didn't have enough time do I am hoping to do this in the next workshop.

New project!!!! Remarkable creatures

We are on our second project on our art and design level 3 foundation course and with our first project been based on experiencing the areas fine art, 3D and textiles, our second project is based upon doing the area you specialise in. This project is called 'remarkable creatures' and we have to look into artists and scultlptures and textiles designers and present our interpretation of the project title. So with thus I have began research in my sketchbook on Donna Wilson, mister finch, Vladimir kush, Josephine wall and Johnson tsang.
