The
 Final Piece

"The Square" 

For this piece I had made a hand made from mod rock that I wanted to look part of the piece. The Hand I decided to paint a light skin color to make it seem realistic like it was a real hand reaching out to you and pulling you in. I had a good idea of making the vortex look like some of it was the hand like it would look like the hand was reaching out of the vortex. The idea worked for a while until out of curiosity I changed the vortex theme with a yellow zig-zag crawling up the hand as part of the vortex. This didn't go according to plan and most of the paint dripped down the hand, however this did have this very horrific effect after it was dried. It took me half an hour to dry and by the end some of it was still damp. The outcome wasn't really what I'd excepted but I still got the rest of my back board finished and painted. Like the vortex center. As I was painting I was unaware of how much paint I was applying to the board I wanted the vortex to look like it was coming off the board. So I added layers of paint, I painted over with a zig zap to paint leading up to the hand. 

During today's lesson we were planning for our exhibition in studio 11. Me and Lauren were busy away sorting out my draw, I felt like it needed a cleaning down so I got some paper towels and cleaned it. After it was clean I started to arrange my things, starting with my plan sheet for my pencil sharpener rubber idea where I'd added some of my own samples.



Life Drawing

Then on top I added my life drawing picture, I chose this one I'd decided to draw where the angle is drawn from the bottom of her feet up to her head. So it looks like her feet are bigger than her head. This one worked well with composition. I really liked the way the tone was on it where the feet were shadowy and the rest of her body was lighter it gave a good sense of tone from dark to light on the body. The feet seemed to be the best part of the drawing itself.

Library Book

The next thing was my Library Book where I'd place it at the right side of my tray. The reason for this was so it was beside the center pieces (i.e Tessellations). The library book went well with the rest of the objects, and because it was a very long thin black appearance it looks good at the side almost like a crow perched on a fence.

Tessellations

The center of my draw was the tessellation piece I'd made in Tweeney's lesson I made them central because they remind me of a collection and they fixed well with the big sheet (backdrop of tray). They reminded me of interesting designs I'd made in lesson time. I have arranged them in a rainbow shape to make them look playful, The Pencil shavings tessellation went well with the Pencil sharpener plan sheet title. As it has a pencil logo and often it you see a Graphite pencil they have a certain reddish orange tinge to them. A bit like the pencil shavings tessellation.

Human form

The rights of expression and the limitations of the photo shoot 

They can express themselves in whatever way they want so through facial expression through speech and through mime as along as it doesn't cause offence. The photo shoot was to be age appropriate she has to have her permission and no inappropriate photos.
