The other day we had a one day project, where a Canadian artist came into University and set us a project. I hate to admit this but I can't remember his name, but he did some cool illustration using nets for boxes which he drew on then constructed to see how it would alter the image when pieced together.
We were set the task of creating a response to the Japan Tsunami by drawing onto objects rescued from the skip outside, such as boxes pieces of wood and metal ect.. but we had to use the techniques that we'd researched from other cultures. Me Poppy and Erin worked together on this one. Not going to lie, it wasn't our best piece of work, although it did take us five hours, it didn't look as though it had, but it was nice to work on a group project for a change.
We made a house out of a cardboard box, complete with a slanted roof and opening door.
Poppy and Erin working away.
We drew water around the bottom of the house as though it had been flooded, using waves influenced by greek painting. Inside the house was japanese writing and warning instructions so when you looked through the windows you could read them.
We ripped one side of the box off so the house looked as though it was damaged like the Japanese houses.
As you can see its big enough to sit in also...
Just anouther hard days work for the first years...
