Collage workshop - Digital collage work:

-

 

Towards the end of my collage workshop, I also experimented with creating digital compositions inspired by Eduardo Recife and his style of merging images. After initial collages were finished, I created my own. Sticking with warm, pastel colors and testing with different background sketches I created multiple digital collages in the style of Recife.


For my final piece; ‘Summertime’ I decided to use what I had learnt from previous collages and create a modern, pop-art spin-off with the use of inverted affects onto the collage. I am very happy with the outcome and have developed good digital art skills as part of this project.

EPQ Model - Sustainable architecture:

-
Image
  For my EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) I decided to investigate how sustainable architecture could reduce the carbon footprint of a property during its construction, habitation and end-of-life. I digitally designed a three-bedroom, two-bathroom property which was then made into 1:100 scale model to show how these techniques could be put into practice. In my report, I collected primary research from surveys to understand consumer needs and price points. Additional secondary research was collected from multiple government sources and other university papers.  I also conducted an interview with a practicing architect who specializes in sustainable architecture to better understand practically how buildings could reduce their carbon footprint. This report also calculates the property’s theoretical reduced carbon footprint and compared it against the average emissions produced from a typical home in the UK. From the calculations, the property produces 265.41tCO 2 wherea...

Collections workshop - Rocks:

  Based on the photo of my collection box at the front, the charcoal sketches helped me to improve my 3D shading and sketching techniques, to make my drawings more realistic.   After completing the charcoal sketches, I then used the same image of my collection box, however, in this case I changed to acrylic as my medium. The painting nicely represents the collection box from the centre image. This has helped me experiment with depth, shading and color blending.

Sculpture work - Towers:

-
Image
The acrylic sculpture was designed and inspired by the merging of a crystal structure with brain-coral engraved outer shell.   After sketching and digitally rendering the sculpture, I then used transparent blue acrylic sheets as the main material to play with light effects. A 1:10 scale model was laser-cut to test how well the CAD model worked and if any changes were needed for the final outcome which I decided to do in a blue clear acrylic to give a crystal like form to the final piece. For my current personal project, I wanted to further explore how the interaction between sails and the wind could create different sculptural effects. I initially took photos of sheets blowing in the wind with multiple anchoring points to create different shapes.  After initial experiments, I selected images with shapes that could be merged together and created a model. By taking inspiration from the masts of boats, I used a mast to anchor the sails to. The sails in this sculpture are...
