Back to college, The Figure week 1

After a long, weird half term I'm back at college and this time we're working on the figure.
Here's what I got up to last week.

Tuesday:
In the morning in visual studies we practiced doing self portraits using mirrors and trying to work with proportions using a measuring stick. We were then told to research some artists who work in portraits and to experiment with various media on photocopies of our self portraits.

Then in the afternoon we worked with welding metal and began trying to create facial features out of wire.

Wednesday:
In textiles in the morning, we learnt how to make felt using wool and I created a sheet of patterned felt. Then I moved to the other room to have a go at pushing the felt into material.

In graphics we started a new qualification project in which we are going to design the cover to our autobiographies, and we started this week by researching portrait artists and posted the research on a new blog, found here http://luketomlinsonl3adgraphicsportraits.blogspot.co.uk/

Then in Art History we created informative posters about the creative industry


Friday:
To ease us into life drawing we produced a facial portrait of our life model and likewise with the self portraits had to work with measuring sticks to keep the figure in proportion, something I found difficult and I need to practice more.

In the afternoon for Photography we have begun work on our Townscape project and started by researching Townscape artists and Double Exposure artists, then we had a go at creating Double Exposure images ourselves in Photoshop using layers.
