Lost in the Post

I forgot to post about these at the time but I made a few more pieces to accompany my postman investigation..

This is my postman sketchbook which is made out of C5 envelopes that I collected, everyday I drew the postman through the window, kinda stalkerish but it got me so many marks I don't care.

I made this parcel out of my accetate from my screen prints.

Drawing more people...

Here are a few more drawings I did of people to finish my uniforms project off nicely..

Apparently I was missing out peoples faces as I drew them last and as they past I didn't get to them in time, so I made this little concertina book out of tickets and drew peoples faces at Southampton train station.

I made this to accompany my shopping theme, I drew people coming out of primark on a primark bag.. it contrasts with my prints of "Gucci and Channel women".

This is a piece to accompany my journeys idea, on the way back to Southampton from Wolverhampton I drew people at every stop we stopped on a large sheet of paper.. man that was embarrassing. I seriously don't care now though.. i'd draw anywhere so I guess this project had done me good.

Climbing Club..

Earlier when I was going around drawing everyone I could I did some sketches of the climbers at my mums climbing club. It was so difficult as they move so fast but I managed to get a few good images. I decided to collage them into a rock face so I had a conclusion for them, and a justification in my asessment.

I used screwed up paper for the rock to make it seem more realistic, and threaded embroidary thread through loops at the top. I liked making a flat collaged sculpture, although I'm not convinced it particually works with these people I'd like to try this technique again maybe next term.

Wire Sculpture

One route I explored early on in my project was drawing with wire which I did on my foundation course. I quickly abandoned this. The drawings of people I did where so quirky that when I tried to replicate them in wire they were unrecognisable as people, maybe next time...

One day Project: Uniforms

At the beginning of the uniforms project we had a one day project where we had to all wear a uniform and then the rest of the group drew you. It was quite fun. There were some odd choices in costume and we werent supposed to be very realistic so I had a go at doing continous line, drawing with colour, using sticks and ink ect... Some of the drawings were quite quirky but I quite like that..

These are just a selection of the drawings I did on the day. I did about twenty sheets in the end which came in handy at padding my project out when it came to asessment.

Catching up..

I've been so so busy the last month I haven't updated my blog at all. I was going to but I kept thinking it would be better to do work instead so I appologise for the sheer amount of work I am about to upload...
