Townscape week 7

All of our work this week has been finishing off our final pieces and making sure everything was in our sketchbooks.
Tuesday:
I finished my collage painting in visual studies

And continued painting my 3D model

Wednesday:
I continued working on my body supported structure by covering it in materials so that next week it just needs touching up and is finished

In graphics I experimented with the brush tools into my illustrator townscape piece, which can be found on my graphics blog here http://luketomlinsongraphicstownscape.blogspot.co.uk/

and in Art history we looked at the work of Tracy Emin and what her work represents in her life.


Friday:
In life drawing we did a drawing of our life model using oil pastels using a light colour, dark colour and white to capture tone.
In photography I just went through my sketchbook finishing and sticking in any work that needed doing.
Here are my collected monoprints

Townscape week 6

Tuesday:
In the morning I continued working on my collage piece by painting into it. Although no detail is added, I have just added the colour.

I?n the afternoon, my 3D piece was dry from the modroc and I used it again to mould the 2 pieces together and after that I painted the piece.

Wednesday:
In textiles, I created the spire for my body supported structure and I begun sticking pieces of fabric onto the piece to give it colour and texture.

In the afternoon for art history we learnt about the Dada art movement

Townscape week 5

Tuesday:
In Visual Studies I finished my painting of the knocked down building and started working on my collage piece by getting the base stuck down.

In 3D I added modroc to my 3D piece (I forgot to photograph it before the modroc unfortunatly :/ )
I'll get photos of that next week since it was still drying when I left it. Hopefully I'll be painting it next week.

Wednesday:
In textiles I created the parts of my body supported structure that will sit on my shoulders and my head, again I'll get pictures of it for next week and I still need to make the spire, tracks and paint the piece.

In Graphics whilst everyone else got their previous blogs finished, I continued working on Illustrator and used the blob tool to paint into some areas. My Townscape graphics blog is here http://luketomlinsongraphicstownscape.blogspot.co.uk/

In Art History we worked on our own Russian Constructivism piece which I'll upload photos of when I have it finished.


Friday:
In Printmaking I collected my previous prints and created a few more before going off to research some more mono print artists.

In Photography I created 2 more sample photographs but I also printed another set of narrative photographs so that I have some for mounting and some for my book.
(they are in my figure book which was collected so I'll upload them when I can)



Homework
I also worked on this townscape painting based on Gotham City last night.

Tuesday:
Tuesday morning is our visual studies class we continued working on our painting from photographs and I worked to add more detail in now that I had my basic outlines.

Last week's work

This week's work

In the afternoon in 3D I began experimenting on creating my 3D Townscape structure

Wednesday:
In textiles I created my first part of my body supported structure by making the cloth chest plate area and stitching a brick pattern into it.

In graphics we continued working on Adobe Illustrator to experiment with the pen tool http://luketomlinsongraphicstownscape.blogspot.co.uk/
In art history we learnt about Russian Constructivism and how Russian propaganda related to the times were used in the art.


Friday:
In the morning we produced a charcoal life drawing of Wendy working more free handed than sight size on A1 sugar paper and because there was 15 minutes left I produced an A3 charcoal life drawing.

In Photography we developed our photographs using the developed film from the week before.

Townscape week 3

Tuesday:
In the morning we began working on a Townscape painting from a photograph using acrylic paints (red, blue, yellow, brown and white) on white cartridge paper.
In the afternoon I did some research into Achitectual Structures to help me come up with designs for a 3D sculpture using paper and card.

Wednesday:
In the morning for textiles I got some reference photos of church spires, bridges and urban walls to incorporate into my body supported structure designs.
In Graphics we used Adobe illustrator to experiment on our townscape photos using the pen tool and how to draw polygonal lines and curved lines. http://luketomlinsongraphicstownscape.blogspot.co.uk/
In art history we were sent to research the topics we are studying (e.g Townscape artists who work in fine art, 3D...)

Friday:
In printmaking we learnt how to do monoprinting using black ink, paper and blunt objects. I created several townscape drawings using this method and in the afternoon for photography we got our film ready for developing.

Townscape week 2

Tuesday:
In the morning we worked on drawing from a window again but this time using ink to draw with.

In the afternoon we drew more 3D perspective drawings of various shapes and I then had a go on the Google Sketch Up computer program.

Wednesday:
In textiles I planned out my design of what to do for my supportive structure and the townscape link which is to create a piece which sits on the head, shoulders and front torso made up up a church spire, a bridge and urban scenery.


In Graphics I wrote up my evaluation of the portraits piece to put on my graphics blog which can be found here. http://luketomlinsonl3adgraphicsportraits.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/evaluation.html

In the morning with Mark we were told to produce a townscape drawing from one of the windows around college using either Biro or pencil

in the afternoon with Joe we looked at perspective drawings and how to draw isometric 3D shapes using construction methods.

Wednesday:
For textiles our project we are working on is to create a townscape based supportive structure so we spent the day researdching supportive structures and ways to incorporate townscape into them.

In Graphics we began work on adobe illustrator learning how to create a vectorgraph image and get used to the program.
