Life Drawing classes

After already doing a fair amount of life drawing on the foundation course last year, i thought i would be able to this fine.. But after the first couple of drawings i noticed that i wasnt doing things correctly, compared to how i used to... The main thing was that the models head would be a lot smaller compared to the rest of the figure.. After the second class though i found myself getting everything to scale.. The leader of the class (not sure of his name) is very helpful.

Essay preparation

These are just a few things that got the ball rolling when it came to getting the essay underway.. I always find brainstorming diagrams always help to set things out.. They can also be a good starting point



Maya Projects

My maya projects will be in al different order because they are on different computers and i havent had time to go and put them on my memory stick.

The only problem i found with designing the toaster and the magnifying glass, was that when sorting out the colors i could only view the completed object in the render mode.













The image below is how it looked in the perspective view.. I dont know how to change this. Everything is blue.













After using mac more and more i have found it alot easier to use.. I was pretty pleased with magnyfying glass, except for one part. I f you look closely at the image, the bottom of the handle has a color difference..

Loretta Lux

I looked at Lux because not only am i going to base my final piece around the idea of children. I have also decided to go with a question regarding children for my essay. Im fascinated by her work because she doesnt show the normal carefree, happy smiling forms of children, but more evil and sad looking ones..

I particularly like the last image because they are obviously brothers who look like they have been playing and yet still look unhappy or as if something from the picture is missing. Such as a parent or another sibling

The Elephant Man

This was the first time i had seen the film, and i was blown away... The acting was amazing... The film really got me thinking on how people back then treated deformity or people who were different.. And nowadays even though we accept all different things, you always feel or wonder why this has happened.. Also it makes you see how difficult it most be for someone with a deformity or a certain disease, and how brave they must be

More research - Francesca Woodman

I like Woodman's work because i feel that where she hides part of figure it shows that she doesnt want a certain part of them to be shown because it isnt what society wants to see or the personality of that person has something odd or different about it.





































































Her pictures could also show someone hiding or in pain.. Hidden identities because of something they are scared of
