Wires

 For two days we had a vister called Jill Walker (http://jillanitawalker.blogspot.com/) who is lecturer use on using wire.

However before the lecturer we had to do tasks.

Task 1 - Produce series of line drawings based around your home but pay attention to
- light levels
- evidence of wear and tear
- texture and nature of the materials in the spaces

SO one of my drawings that I like and also improve as I went along was my bookshelf and my toy collection. I like this photo because its got so many stuff happening with the lighting, shapes, shadows, colours.
 
So when I got started planing on how I'm going to use the wires I started putting the work on the wall so I have to stand up. It help me because I can use bigger paper so I don't feel limit to me drawing it out.

Also I started doing colour system to help me which wire goes where.
Exmaple
- Thick Blue
thick wire (main body)
- Thin Blue
extra details for smaller stuff so thinner wire
Brown
- Where the shadow is
Red
-  Where I'm going to bend it to make is coming out of the wall (3D effect)


Using the drawing I started making it over the picture. Helps me to know which bits goes where, size, scale also I look at both drawing and picture as well to give me ideas of how I have to connet ALL them different shapes together.
Ones all the main body finish I start adding shadow by using bits on cans and putting them between the wires sometimes over lapping to give it and uneven effect.





Because I have a lot of toys I wanted to keep there shape to I sue the wire and put it around there body or face so see where everything is and I was make it look like I'm drawing out the toy but this time using wire to make is 3D insted of drawing it out on paper like I did on my task.




To my surprise because of how I work on the wall when I step back I can see ANOTHER shadow that was created with the wire because the light was just above me so the shadow look really long and stretch plus of the colour wire and how it was putting together it look like the shadow was apart of my work as well which to me I like.



So move this project more I put another big paper under my wire and started to draw out the shadow, why because I wanted the shadow to stand out more and to see what it will look like if still look like its apart of my work but still using two different size pens for the thickens of the shadow.
Ones that done I started to move the paper in different area so insted of having just one shadow I have created an extra one so its looks like there another light as well.




Here is some photos of the final outcome.

Models Public

When I put ALL of my Stereotype models on an Facebook to see people view on it and a lot of people like it (12 likes and 9 comments) but there was one comment that was interesting because the person ask if it was public or private my models so I comment back saying it still private but I might make it public for people later on.

So my next task is to see if I can make my models public for people so they can to print out and make them for there self. My England Model is the first one I'm making it public because it was easy to understand the layout and not too difficult to edit it.


I started out drawing the main layout (head, body, arms and legs) but still keeping the same measurement because I want it to be the same size as the other model.
By scanning it to the computer and adding colour I create my very first public model for people can do for them self HOWEVER when its printed its the size of an A4 paper.
