acf 2001

throughout the easter week off i have continued to work on the pieces that will compile my final piece. i am finding it quite hard to move from mac to pc then back as the work comes up differently on each system. i feel that it would be more worthwhile to use one computer rather than two, however i dont feel that it can be achieved as the macs are only available to me whilst at uni. as this is a problem, i will continue to use both comps and see what i will achieve in the final process.]

so far i am thoroughly enjoying creating the pieces as it allows me to work out of my element and challenge myself. as i move forward into the creation process i feel that i really need to focus on the main topic and intention of my pieces, as i know i will drift off and create something completely different, which i am hoping not to do.

as of know i feel that i have 99% completed one piece of my works, all it comes down to is now knuckling down and continuing on my other ones to be ready in time for presentations in week 12.

acf 2001 - week 6

within this weeks class we have experimented with the macs by using corel painter and the tablets. for me this was a new experience that was interesting in itself. i wasnt aware of the ability to use solely one app to manipulate and recreate different processes that would otherwise be done through physical creation. ive found it quite interesting that so many processes can be done, such as use different techniques to produce a final product.
i experimented with the tool of a tapered brush on a hard grain surface. this particularly attributed the significance of the stroke, and allowed it to show different elements of light through basic shades of red.
