final submission to art journal

so this is the last post for this assessment. i actually have to say that i found the blog form of assessment quite different and easier then having to formally type essays and what not.

in regards to my pieces, im almost finished with my work, i am about to begin the commencement of my last piece, but im running out of ideas on what to do.

i have referred back to my influences of EbOY to help inspire my final piece.
images such as;


from this im thinking of leading towards an image of a sky filled with hot aim balloons with marketing and advertising of television programs all over the balloons. in order to complete this, i need to begin laying out a template with adobe illustrator, and block in the pixel shades within to create a shaded effect that will be flawless.

if this experiment is successful, it will be the final piece of my assessment.

Week 10 - digi art

week 10- how time has flown. I'm finding it quite hard to access illustrator from home. i have to continuously delete and download the trail version and I'm running out of email addresses to download with. as well as this my comp is low on virtual memory so my comp is starting to crap itself.

in today's lesson i have continued working on one of my pieces which portrays all the money we spend in our life on digital items. whilst creating the piece i have realised how much crap there is out there, and how ridiculously priced t all is. the demand for so many products is outstanding. i feel kind of glad that i haven't succumbed into the hype of constantly updating my technology, as i believe i would be extremely in debt.

i have not yet begun to calculate the total costs of each item as a whole, however this will be the next step; to explore how much one spend over a life time by updating and keeping up with the trends.

my piece to date:

5 art pieces!

i can now say i have completed 3 works and am very proud of the outcomes. although it has been hard work, i feel that with the precision and detail added to the works has allowed them to become refined and show the elements of depth that i have wanted to achieve.

2 week teaching round

so for the last 2 weeks we have had teaching rounds which have been draining yet fun!
its taken a while for me to get use to my school as it is so diverse, but im now getting a good feel for the school and the kids and staff in it.

i have been taking yr 9 art classes for a few lessons. i decided to get them out of their comfort zone and intoroduce clay as a medium, rather than grey lead pencils. they are enjoying it quite well as they find it quite challenging, which is great.

as for my 5 artworks, i feel that im falling behind. i am trying to do as much work on them as possible in my free time, but i find that with all my work load atm that im struggling. however, i know i will ghet it all done!
