Information Project

This is also part of my information project, a dancer figure which would be attached to a stick to be used with a paper toy theatre. I enjoyed this because it was about 6.5cm tall, and had to be accurate in terms of depicting the costume used in the ballet, 'Elite Syncopations.'

Book Cover Project: 3D figure

I tried to make his face look troubled and worn-down, as the imaginary book title was, 'Menoirs of a Fool.' I thought he would be chewing over his regrets. He makes me quite sad!

Book Cover Project!

This is from my favourite project set a few weeks back. I think I learnt most from this, I loved using air dry clay. I will need to research different types of clay to find out what type could achieve more detail, and what stop-motion artists might use. I learnt a lot more photoshop too, even though I chose a simple journal-type style, I now find texture more appealing for getting across atmosphere.

I used wire wool for his hair and made a glittery trumpet using wire and clay. Most of all, creating a character was so satisfying, as I love stories!

Information Project

We were set an information project as the last project before we plan our own!

I chose to explore working with clay again, but never having had to make a clay figure who looked like a specific person, it took much longer than I expected! I learnt a lots from this project, mostly that if I ever do more clay portraits, I need to save time for some of the design at the end.
