For our first group project we had to create 2 posters 120x85 cm of our chosen environment showing either a dystopian landscape or a utopia. To be honest I was really excited with that brief and the contextual references that we were given. For example, I have watched most of the films on that list…
Week 7 – See you in 6G – Homework 2
We had to produce during weekend 5 images A3 of our chosen item existing in the landscape that we have chosen. I chose to work with mirrors. For the first one I wanted to focus on the surface of a broken-distorted mirror existing in that world so I tried to create an embossing effect using…
Manifesto – Alternative plan
When I realized that I lost too much time trying different materials for my original idea to make it work (dissolving elephants with pendants inside) I thought of something else. I remembered of a Chinese legend "the red string of fate". According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red cord around the ankles…
Manifesto – 3D printing
https://ultimaker.com/en/community/3458-printing-with-pva After my failed attempt to print with PVA (I am attaching a link here with the article that I read about one attempt to print using that material), I've printed one plastic elephant mold. Inspired by Motoi Yamamoto's Salt sculptures I tried to mix salt with a little bit of water. I noticed…
Manifesto – video
When we were told that we would have 3min in order to present our manifesto on camera (our initial thoughts about it with the A2 poster) I was very nervous and confused with all the process of the green screen. In the process of thinking how I wanted to present it I was really inspired…
Week 5 – Studio – Screen printing
Last term we were introduced to screen-printing technique. We were asked to draw a picture of our "alter ego" and then reproduce 10 copies of it using screen-printing. Then, the material that we've used in order to create the stencil of the layers was paper. Today Tony told us about the creative…
Manifesto – Week 4 – Group Assessment
Just one week before the crit, that day's studio with Leigh was dedicated just to a group assessment to self-judge our sketchbooks and/or research and to discuss whether our idea, our outcome at that point and our audience-target were good enough. In general as a group we endured a very harsh critic from our tutor. For me…
Manifesto – Poster
In order to learn more about the ivory trade and the elephants I was searching on different animal welfare organizations and conservation organizations such as WWF, IFAW, WildAid and Greenpeace. To my surprise I found out some very disturbing facts and numbers: African elephants once roamed across most of the continent in the millions. Back…
Manifesto – Burlap
For that project I had to make little burlap jewellery bags. Before I came up with the solution of pulling away first one vertical thread and then cut my fabric and then sew the edges to secure it from fraying, I tried to cut directly the piece of the fabric and then fold it and…
Week 3 – Studio Homework – Ima
I've given myself almost 15-20 minutes in order to think and analyze again the text and then to create a single illustration for it. What I gained out of this process is how to improve my time management skills and how to analyze in a more efficient everything around me. I am sure that I…
