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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
