FILM STUDIES

Really enjoyed creating my Film Studies project.

Contextual Influences in Art & Design (Unit 5)

From 7/1/13 -Started to research artists who's work I saw at Manchester Art Gallery in The First Cut Exhibition.

I then researched my research to make certain I had enough information about them to create my essay and sketchbook.

Selected 2 images of what I liked or thought about them and why I think their art work is brilliant.

Started mind maps for each artist in my sketchbook and compared the artists' work with each other

B & Q  -  You Can Do It Class

As it's important to understand how to use tools, especially power tools, correctly, when doing art projects . I enrolled myself on an Introduction to Power Tools course to give me the confidence to correctly use power tools. It was a fun experience and I would certainly do it again. For my first class I designed and made a shield.

 



What I achieved with making this shield was learning how to use the power/basic tools, and then create something afterwards.  I learnt what each power tool did and the health and safety rules for them. I found some of the tools interesting, but I was also very nervous in using those tools that could take your fingers/hand off in a split second - but I did it. I used every single tool available to create this shield. Beforehand, I had a go at making a couple of samples using each tool and learning how to use them properly.

CLOSED !!! FERMÉ !!! CHIUSO !!!

On the way to the Richard Goodall Gallery we called in to the Richard Goodall Shop where we collected leaflets and art magazines for research.

We then made our way to the Gallery only to find that it was not open today!

We had a look through the bars on the windows and managed to take a few photographs of the displays.

 

Street Art in Manchester

On our way to the Magma Bookstore www.magmabooks.com, Oldham Street, Northern Quarter  we came across a lot of street art. These varied from stickers on lamposts, to detailed graphics full of vibrant colours.

 

The street art continued all the way to the Koffee Pot where we had a beverage whilst discussing the next location we had to visit (The Richard Goodall Gallery).
